Taking a Seine River boat tour is a MUST when visiting Paris so I planned to do just that a few…read moredays ago. I chose Vendettes du Point Neuf due to its proximity to the area where I was staying. It was easy to reach on the Metro as it's located on Point Neuf which is a tip of the Ile de la Cite island that Notre Dame is located on. In this case, I decided just to walk on. It was early May and I sensed that there would be plenty of room available and I was right. I arrived at 2:08 pm and immediately got on the 2:15 pm tour at a cost of 17€. I found out they have a tour boat that leaves every thirty minutes for the one hour tour. We left promptly on time sitting on top of the open air uncovered deck with great unobstructed views. The boat has a drink and snack bar on board in addition to water closets for the guests. The boat moves at about 10 miles an hour and circled the Ile de la Cite island with great views of Notre Dame and then proceed down the river passing the Orsay Museum and continuing all of the way down to the Eiffel Tower for more great views of it, There we turned around and proceeded back to the starting point arriving one hour after leaving. It was an enjoyable cruise. The weather was comfortably cool and the narrator on board did a good job of describing everything that we passed by. At the end he does stand at the exit hoping for a tip. I felt the cruise was well worth the cost and would recommend it depending on the weather.

I paid the didn't-do-the-math tax and received an extra ticket. L'histoire: We arrived an hour early, nobody in line, we were the only 3 people in sight. At the ticket window I very clearly said "nous avons deux adultes, et elle a 12 ans" (we have two adults, and she's twelve). I thought the price sounded too high, but I didn't say anything. I was handed three connected tickets, but there was a fourth child ticket folded underneath. Obviously she clearly understood me, handing over the tickets like that, and I feel like a rube for overpaying. Lesson learned, a sucker's born every minute--today it was me.

We took the Don Juan 2 dinner cruise Second to the last night of our stay in Paris. I cannot say…read moreenough good things about the food and the experience. The crew started with seating us on the upper deck with glasses of champagne & appetizers. The staff offered to take our picture with our phone when they noticed we were attempting poorly to do so ourselves. Once on our way the staff or ushered us downstairs to our table, all of them have an awesome view. As the sunset we ate the most spectacular meal we've ever eaten watching the Seine come alive. I cannot emphasize this enough, the experience was awesome but the food was incredible! I will remember this meal for the rest of my life. After the main course, perfectly timed, we pull up to the Eiffel Tower on the hour, when its lights sparkle for a minute. We were given warm blankets and escorted to the upper deck where everyone gasped over the beauty of Paris at night. we returned below deck for a cheese course and then dessert and coffee. The staff asked if we needed a cab and called ahead so one would be ready when we disembarked. Everything was perfectly timed down to the moment. If you ever want to propose or have a romantic moment this is the cruise for you! I went with my friend and we left our husbands at home, Lol, but I have to say at that moment I missed him horribly

The cruise/water is smooth, staff is friendly, food is amazing (especially for a river cruise) and the evening scenery is breathtaking.

Okay so let's talk dinner cruises and what you're paying for…read more 1) First and foremost you're paying for the captain and crew to safely navigate the ship. When you take a look at the length of these vessels, the current in the river, the narrowness of the waterway and how they twist the ship in these conditions- they're impressive ship handlers. And on top of it all, they time it to make sure your first view of the Eiffel Tower is as it starts sparkling. Brilliant. 2) The food. Now most dinner cruises aren't actually known for their food. This wasn't my favorite meal of the trip, but it was damn good. And when you realize there's a staff below cranking out these options in a galley below decks while under way, there's some mad respect for the quality they're able to achieve. 3) The experience. There's live music and there's great views. All in all... you sit back and just enjoy the sites. Just remember... the more you pay for your menu, the closer you sit to the windows. But hey, that's why you came right? Anyways, is this a total tourist trap- hell yes. But I wouldn't have it any other way. It was pricey, but I certainly didn't feel ripped off. And watching my son's eyes light up the first time he saw the Eiffel Tower at night was worth every penny.

I did the sunset cruise and thought it was an awesome way to see the stuff on the Seine. Honestly…read morethis was worth it for the Eiffel tower views alone. We did seem to leave a bit too late (we were on time with the scheduled time but I think it should have been earlier) so it was pretty dark when we left and we didn't really get to see any sunset, mostly just twilight and the dark. There also isn't any narration and an optional audio guide might have been nice. Finally, I found it pretty hard to see any of Notre Dame from the bottom deck. These improvements would make this experience better but it was still great and the price is reasonable. Some tips: sit on the left side of the boat (when facing forward) for the best Eiffel Tower views and consider sitting on the top for even better views into everything. Dress warmly if it is the fall or winter as it does get pretty cold since you're on the water. To find the pier, use Google maps- it is well marked and the directions to get there are good.

From the first email Martin was very helpful. I must say I expected that some of my requests would be difficult to complete, but in the end when I look back, they (Martin, Martin and Philippe) went further and brought today to a higher level. They were very friendly but they gave us plenty of room to be comfortable on our own and just enjoy the cruise. I have no words to thank Seine Avenue for their support on such an important day.

I did this dinner the first time I was in Paris with my friend. We loved it. What I remember is…read morethat we were seated in the middle of the dining hall. I meant to make a reservation for our first night, but I forgot to. Turns out my sister's friend was in town and she surprised us by booking a dinner for the 3 of us as it happened to be my sister's bday. We got there a little early. Probably a solid 30 mins before the checkin time. It gave us plenty of time to do a little photo shoot with the tower behind us as it happened to be a different color. The food is ok. What makes this a great experience is that you get to see all the monuments at night. They even announce when you happen to be in front of the Louvre and Notre Dame. Our waiter made it a point to tell us what we were passing. I enjoyed the food I got. I also enjoyed the drinks that my sister ordered for me cos she doesn't drink so I just had her get me drinks. Boy was I tipsy. Our dinner came with a bottle of red wine that we barely touched. I ended up taking it home. All in all, it's certainly a great experience. The service was amazing.

It was so relaxing and nice to cruise down the Seine River in Paris! We got to see all the major buildings and attractions.

We heard a lot of compliments from other tourists who enjoyed him, but beware, if your child is NOT a good bicyclist, or well practiced in bicycling, please do not subject other tourists to them-we heard a couple of horror stories of other bicycle tours where this was the case.) This bicycle tour was fantastic! The guide was knowledgeable and the locations were spot-on. Highly recommend if you (like us) only have a few days in Paris, as you can see so much on this tour! The sunset boat tour was absolutely stunning as we boated past the lit up Eiffel Tower, but my highlight was riding around the Louvre (also at sunset). Stunning tour was definitely a highlight!
