Great family experience - Very nice cruise to do as a family with children. Our guide was great! Fun and informative anecdotes for children and adults. Opportunities to ask questions and participate for children, who have not seen the time pass.

A good tour for kids - Really nice tour and guide was engaging with kids asking them questions and sharing facts. Kids seemed to be interested in learning facts about major Paris sights

Really fun informative Seine cruise on a fantastic boat - We have done something similar to this in London. We found the Paris one just as good. It was really informative and the guide was funny and full of knowledge. The kids enjoyed it too. The boat was clean, had lots of facilities and we would highly recommend this!

Not sure if it’s worth it - Not sure if this was worth it. Although it claims to be a cruise with kids… nothing on the cruise was made geared towards kids. You can just purchase a cheaper cruise ticket and enjoy the same view with your kids. Getting to the actual entrance of the cruise was unclear from the Viator ticket. We were dropped off at the pet via Uber (and he drove us as far as possible) and once there, it was confusing to where I asked a security personnel where I’m supposed to meet. Luckily, he told me where to go. Overall an okay experience. Unlike other River cruise we’ve been to… this one was my least favorite.

Amazing views, average trip - They did not have space in the boat for us for a time slot we were booked for, so we had to wait for 30 mins for the next boat. Not all boats are the same - I believe the one we weren’t able to board was bigger, newer, and nicer. Tour guide speaks both, French and English, but you have to be at a specific spot and listen really hard to actually hear what they are saying (audio quality is not great). You can buy drinks at the bar during the trip. On the plus side - Views are amazing and staff is very nice.

Poor service, no cafe, not family friendly, kids bored - This boat trip was very poor, the woman at the bar refused to give me a coffee saying I hadn't brought the right ticket to buy a coffee, yet 10 mins after I watched someone buy a expresso. If they cafe wasn't opened, as advitised as part of the cruise, then we should have been informed at check in so we could have brought stuff with me. The lady doing the tour only spoke to one person on board and did not interact very well with the children. Honestly the reason we chose this over other cheaper options was the cafe and I felt so let down by that.

Not a great experience - I expected the tour to be more engaging for kids. This was not geared towards kids at all. The drinks and snacks were also overpriced.

Disappointing - Disappointing. There was only one guide on boat for 100 + people so you had to sit on upper deck close to hear him. The speakers on the boat didn’t work well and so you couldn’t hear anything if you were not lucky enough to sit close to the guide even on the upper deck. It was very hot so sitting in the intense heat was difficult even for children. The guide spoke more French than English and had a significant accent so was difficult to understand when he did speak English. I have been in Europe for three weeks and out of all of our tours (10+) this was by far the worst.
