“The activity was great! The staff were so helpful with my parents that had mobility needs. it was gorgeous on the Siene River, the boat captain made sure to slow down for pictures around key landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower.

Seine cruise from Port de la Conférence with 70 minutes of landmark views of Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower.

1-hour Seine cruise from Pont Neuf on Vedettes du Pont Neuf. Live English/French commentary and Eiffel to Notre-Dame views day or night.
“Bought tickets online for a trip same day anytime before 10:15. Made the metro ride to the station and found that we bought a general ticket when the 9:15 and 9:45 are champagne cruises so we could not travel until 10:45 which was too late for us. Buy direct from company not Viator.”
