HOUSEBOAT STAY ON RIVER SEINE IN PARIS! This is a best experience.... - I’ve dreamed of a canal holiday but a houseboat on the River Seine, moored so close to the #Louvre? Well, this should be for the bucket list. Do you agree?

Our experience - House boats Seating was sparse as too many people got on at each stop so you could not find a place to sit

Horrible Don’t Book - We weren’t able to get on the boats in the morning because of a marathon (that we were unaware of) & they wouldn’t give us a refund. To locate the hop on and off spots along the river was a mission and not easy to navigate.

Awful scam no tickets emailed - We paid through the link on Tripadvisor for the boat tour batobus. We didn’t receive an email confirmation with the tickets so we contacted the company viator by email no answer and constantly the phone line was busy. So with the money taken by card and a screenshot of the transaction on Tripadvisor we went to the batobus only to be told that they can’t help us because viator should email the tickets to us. They tried to help call viator but to no avail. So we were unable to get on the boat. We have tried to contact viator for a refund but had a generic email response to say no refund is possible due to us not doing the tour!!! Even though we had No tickets and were there right next to the boat, with the transaction paid. So as we are a big family it was £120 gone for nothing but hassle and our little one got poorly in the heat in Paris while we were trying to walk around in the heat. We had to abandon our day in Paris and get a taxi to the train station and go home. Honestly do not buy tickets through this website. You can buy tickets directly with batobus.

Rip-off - Terrible - they had massively oversold the tickets so the boats were full when they got to a stop.... families waiting in the heat for the next boat which was also full. We left and took the metro so a waste of money - a ripoff as they can control how many tickets they sell.....

Waste of money - I would not spend any money on this. First it is difficult to know where the boat picks you up. We waited 35 mins. The boat was like sitting in a terrarium with the glass blocking the breeze. We were so hot. This is not a double decker boat. Next it goes so slow you could walk faster. Worst thing we spent money on in Paris

Poor business practice - Do not book with Viator! The sight seeing tour was not operating the day of our cruise. When I informed Viator and asked for a refund I was denied a refund. We waited for a hour before I finally called directly to the third party vendor and was informed. This was explained in great detail and Viator still is refusing to give me a refund. You can easily purchase tickets for experiences directly through the company that is locally providing the experience. You never know what will happen to make you miss an experience, and Viator has shown that they don’t care if it was for reasons out of your control. I even went back the next day, and they were still not operating. Why won’t Viator honor my request for a refund? Wait until you arrive to Paris before you purchase Seine river cruise tickets!!!! You can purchase tickets to other sights like the Eiffel Tower, louvre, catacombs, etc. And it is much cheaper. You don’t need skip the line tickets from Viator. I will tell everyone I know and don’t know about my experience with Viator until I get my money back! I am very frustrated and confused about this business practice.
