Fue una experiencia realmente hermosa y especial. Recorrer el Sena mientras admirábamos los monumentos y la arquitectura de París desde otra perspectiva hizo que todo se sintiera mágico. El ambiente era tranquilo, el recorrido muy agradable y cada momento se disfrutó muchísimo. Sin duda, uno de los recuerdos más bonitos de nuestro viaje y una experiencia totalmente recomendable.

Le Paradis was spectacular—highly recommended for a cabaret experience in Paris; we loved it. On the other hand, we didn't enjoy the Seine river cruise; the boat didn't have a place to serve drinks or food, so I wouldn't really recommend it.

The monuments were breathtaking. The bridges were excellent works of engineering. The boat was very comfortable and the cruise was smooth. The audio announcements were not clear on the top deck. This needs to improve.

The cruise is great; there are audio guides in every language available at the covered seating areas, and all the relevant details are also announced in three languages: English, French, and Spanish. That said, don’t expect an exclusive trip, since it’s a massive experience—the boats have a capacity of 600 people, and we had to wait almost an hour to board, herded along like sheep.

The sightseeing cruise on the Seine River was a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Departing from the Eiffel Tower gives it a special charm from the very beginning. Cruising down the river allowed us to enjoy spectacular views of Paris in a peaceful and very pleasant atmosphere. I recommend buying tickets through the Headout website, as it saves time and avoids queues. The service was very good and the tour was full of magical moments. The cruise facilities were very beautiful, with optional meals and spectacular views. I went with my husband and would definitely do it again. It's a highly recommended experience to enjoy and fall even more in love with Paris.

Is is a different way to see Paris. The boarding was fast even though there were a lot of people. You have to hurry to take a good place in the upper deck.

Very engaging for the children, and also the parents. The exhibits were great and showed a fantastic insight into the paradoxes of life. The illusions were great as well. My family thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
