The guide is confusing
Jessica ·The cruise itself is very good, and the boat is very comfortable. However, there’s an audio guide on speakers at the same time you’re supposed to be listening to the guide on your phone. You can’t hear both, and they say different things, which is frustrating.
Eiffel @ night
Maria ·It should have been better if done @ day time.Love to see the Eiffel sparkles.
Disappointed
Harry ·Very disappointed absolute chaos onboarding. No seats on top people standing. Should have system that all seats taken go downstairs
A Must Do!
Sara ·We did this Sunday morning, and it was a beautifully sunny day. It was a great cruise!
I would recommend
Monika ·After a long day of walking, this was a great end of the day, to just sit and enjoy the ride along the most popular attractions of Paris. The only thing I would improve is the audioguide. The descriptions were too short, I would like to hear more.
