Great tour - Great commentary. Excellent view of the tower from the water at night. Highly recommend sitting at the front of the boat as you have a fantastic view.

Nice relaxing tour. - It was a nice tour. There is no narration of landmarks. Since it was cold and drizzling most people were crowded into the bottom part of the boat.

Was ok. But no more than ok. Very nice staff. - Pleasant experience on the river. Lovely clean boat inside. A bit grubby looking outside at the stern. No explanation about where to line up really, just had to ask other confused tourists. Efficient boarding system. Two boats join together, one gets the commentary one doesn't, in our case we didn't. So boat that was further from the dock. Nice space and drinks inside, that was fine. Really friendly staff, with clean toilets. Just lacked information and commentary. Worth £60 .... not really. Eiffel tower lights don't go on until about 9pm and cruise was done by 8.45 PM🤣still I'm not moaning, sitting for an hour on your bum being driven around on a river in a foreign city is always going to be a novelty.

So much incorrect information and underwhelming experience. - Poor descriptions of what to expect, where to go, or what’s happening. There were no signs for the event, you just had to ask. However when you did ask, the people seemed irritated. There were two boats and I asked two different people which one were we supposed to be on and got two different answers. The Viator booking was extremely misleading. There were no blankets despite the cold, there was no information about audio guides or how to get them, no description by the team of what we were seeing, no information whatsoever, and while we did get a drink we had the worlds slowest bartender. We waiting in line for over 20 min of our cruise to get cheap plastic cups of cheap wine. We missed sunset views and had to just get up on our own to go take photos. We also didn’t know that the boat would just randomly turn around with no notice at all. Again, some info would have been better than nothing. It also was not minimal people. We had over 100 on our boat alone and there was a second boat that was probably just as full. Just overall a lack of information and information made for an incredibly underwhelming trip, especially given the amount of money we paid. The journey was doomed from the start because, while the male worker at the line was trying to answer questions and was very polite (despite giving conflicting information from another guy), the female who was working was an absolute witch. She was unpleasant, unfriendly, and clearly didn’t want us to be there. The idea that we were paying for her paycheck was completely lost on her. Don’t know if she was having a bad day or what, but she needs to be away from paying customers as she was by far the worst part of this experience…and that’s saying something given the substandard performance of everything else. If there were a way to ask for a refund I certainly would.

would not recommend - you want to go when the sun is actually setting so you can see the lights in the city. also, this cruise was basically a 40$ boat ride with low quality champagne, no one narrating the ride and you have to figure out yourself what youre looking at. would not recommend. wish i had paid more for one of the other boat rides.

Late, Overcrowded, and Completely Mismanaged - I honestly don’t know where to start with how bad this river cruise was. What should have been a relaxing, scenic experience turned into a frustrating, cramped mess from start to finish. First of all, the departure was an absolute joke — we were left waiting around for an hour and a half with no proper explanation or communication. By the time we finally boarded, any excitement had completely disappeared. Then it got worse. We were put on the wrong boat, which was clearly not equipped for the number of people crammed onto it. It was so overcrowded that there was barely any room to move, let alone enjoy the journey. Forget taking photos or relaxing — you were basically stuck in place the entire time. To top it off, there was no terrace or open viewing area, which completely defeats the purpose of a sightseeing cruise. Instead of enjoying the views, we were stuck inside, packed in like sardines, staring through windows and trying to catch glimpses of what we paid to see. Overall, it felt disorganised, uncomfortable, and like a complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend this to anyone.
