    The tour is not the planned circuit because of the flood, I booked the day before because I feared this problem, but it was not announced on the website! As for the comments, I was disappointed because the monuments were not the right ones. Size of boat more human than the big ones.

    I bought a ticket for myself and my 6-year-old niece, thinking it would be fun for the kids, as advertised on the site. This is absolutely not the case. It's more of an explanatory stroll for adults, and the children don't discover much and don't have any fun.

    Star Star Star Star Star - Les vedettes de Paris cancelled due to flooding
    Written by LEBRUN Sylvie, 12-03-2024

    Hello, We arrived with my 8 year old grandson on the quays, and found that last Friday's flooding prevented the launch from leaving. We got a ticket exchange for the Paris boats, but as we queued up we also learned that the cruise would not be going to the center of Paris. So we left, a little disgusted, as we'd come from Creil station on purpose. What interested me was that it was designed for children... If you can, I'd love it if you could give us a credit note so that we can come back during the Hauts de France spring break. Thank you for your attention. Yours faithfully Sylvie Lebrun

    Hello, Very disappointed. I booked my tickets 2-3 days in advance and chose to take my children on an outing to discover beautiful things. Result: at the moment of boarding, we were told that the tour had been changed and that 3/4 of the monuments announced would not be visible because of the Seine... We were all disappointed. I would have liked to have been warned, and I would have preferred to have been offered a refund or a postponement to do the tour later... Not cool.

Thanks to its configuration, we could see very well from inside, while staying warm. The only downside: the activities, which are intended for the whole family, didn't seem so accessible to the younger ones, who quickly lost interest ... but very instructive for the older ones! We forgot to claim our captain's diploma :-(

    The advert indicated a family cruise with a tour guide specializing in entertainment for young people. In practice, we had a boat trip with commentary on the buildings we could see, but it wasn't particularly animated for younger children. The alternation between English and French doesn't help children to follow the explanations attentively either.

    I took this cruise as a family, a first for us. I was surprised by the number of adults without children, when I thought I'd booked a cruise with commentary for children. But in fact, even though it's sold that way, it's not really the case. The cruise is commented, of course. But the size of the boat means that the guide, though very interesting, is not necessarily audible all the time by the whole boat. And his comments are not aimed at children. He talks fast, and gives a lot of information. I enjoyed the cruise, but it's by no means aimed at young people, despite what's noted in the description of the service.

    What I didn't like, and what my 9-year-old grandson didn't like, was that the animation was barely audible in the covered part of the boat...it was only audible at the front of the boat. No difficulty for the reservation and during the activity; however, it is essential that the animator be heard throughout the boat. I would recommend this activity to anyone accompanying children up to the age of 12.

    The tour leader (Manon) is friendly, pleasant and cheerful. She speaks to children and adults alike, and the presentation is interactive. We learned a few anecdotes, and that's always enriching. Seating for all. Good advice to come 30 minutes early. One small downside for the "gourmet break": the packaged cookies on offer looked "old", and crumbled as soon as the bag was opened, which meant that most of my children didn't eat them (I should have taken crêpes). Too bad.

    A little fast

    Star Star Star Star Star - Nice but...
    Written by Claude Le Huu Nho, 24-08-2023

    The walk was fun, and the questions about Paris asked of the participants were good, neither too difficult nor too easy, but we couldn't hear very well and the comedian stayed downstairs all the time: very frustrating for us, who were sitting upstairs and couldn't take part!

    Star Star Star Star Star - Quality-price
    Written by Lilya, 21-08-2023

    Reduced price via the familinparis website, which is not insignificant when you're a large family, and no waiting line at the cash desk. Pleasant tour. A word of advice: come 1/2 hour beforehand to be able to choose your seat and with a full stomach so as not to exceed your budget. The site is well detailed, so there are no nasty surprises.

    Star Star Star Star Star - Expensive, but great family time

    What I liked: interesting for both children and parents What I didn't like: the service and drinks at the bar were expensive, little shade despite the hot weather

    Star Star Star Star Star - Waiting, too many people but interesting
    Written by C P, 18-08-2023

    Waiting, too many people, but interesting. It's high season all right, but then they put more boats on. That said, the hostess knows her subject well and was very nice.

    Les Vedettes is indeed a victim of its own success with this family cruise, and what's more, due to bad luck, one boat is currently out of service. Les Vedettes are aware of the problem, and are now trying to screen participants to give priority to families.

    Star Star Star Star Star - Cruise missed despite our arrival more than 15 minutes before departure
    Written by Caro Mathieu , 10-08-2023

    The boat left full of tourists who hadn't booked the special children's cruise 15 minutes ahead of schedule ... we were in the queue and no one warned us ... we were able to get on the next boat but it wasn't what we'd booked, so we were very, very disappointed ... what's the point of booking a schedule if the boat doesn't take it into account? Very clear lack of organization on the part of the boat and its employees.

    Star Star Star Star Star - Great cruise for kids
    Written by Adelle Lafourcade, 10-08-2023

    I highly recommend the cruise for children. Manon, the guide, is great and the kids learn while having fun and admiring the monuments. With the little captain's diploma at the end, it's a great souvenir for the kids!

    Star Star Star Star Star - Fortunately, the crossing was pleasant, albeit a little sunny (provide a roof).

    We did not find the boat easily, the companies did not recognize our tickets.

    Star Star Star Star Star - Nice
    Written by Rachelle Ramassamy, 09-08-2023

    The guide explained things well. The sound was clear wherever you were in the boat. A quiet, pleasant visit. The only downside was that the boat left earlier than the time shown on the ticket. About 30 minutes earlier. As a result, we couldn't take the children's tour. Fortunately, we were offered the next one without any problem.

    Hello, There must have been a misunderstanding about the timetable, as the boats always leave at the advertised time. Fortunately, your cruise went well in the end.

    Star Star Star Star Star - Bad experience
    Written by MG, 07-08-2023

    We bought a family cruise. We arrived 20 minutes early and when we got on the boat, we were informed that for security reasons there were no more places available. The rain has been here for several days, it's a shame to sell more tickets than places.

    Written by Annie Raisslé, 06-08-2023

    This cruise is marketed as being for children, which is not at all the case. Our 6-year-old daughter was bored. What's more, we had taken the "gourmet break" option, and there were no crepes left.

    Star Star Star Star Star - Disappointing
    Written by Mélinda MORTIER, 05-08-2023

    Because of the bad weather, all the participants were inside the boats, which caused a high volume of noise. The few comments were mostly in English even though we are a French family. I would not recommend

    Star Star Star Star Star - Disappointed by the business
    Written by Marie Pazos, 05-08-2023

    Madame monsieur, This activity was originally intended for families, especially children. Bad sound, not easy for children to understand or hear It would have been nicer to get all the children together, so they could pay more attention and concentrate more on themselves! During the cruise, children were running, singing, moving. I totally understand that it wasn't a day-care center, but the little ones need more attention. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this activity to anyone around me. Marie Pazos

    I was very disappointed because we arrived quite early and there were too many people in the boat and just arrived in front of us the company decided to refund us or take the next boat with comments not suitable for young people.

    Written by BERANGERE POMARAT, on 25-07-2023

    Having had to cancel our February cruise for health reasons, the people we spoke to at the Paris motorboats were very understanding and accommodating, and had no problem postponing our cruise on the Seine. The cruise therefore took place on July 19, hosted by a very friendly and competent speaker who seems to love his job. Special mention to the young girls scanning the tickets, who were very smiling and pleasant. All in all, a great family time. Many thanks to you all!

    The explanations were not adapted to children ... at the back we could hear nothing, know the strange, disrespectful who spoke louder than the guide. A little disappointed

    Star Star Star Star Star - Disappointed, cruise planned for supposedly children!
    Written by Aline CLEMENT, 22-07-2023

    I was a little disappointed, having chosen this cruise with my 6-year-old grandson, which was supposedly designed for children, but there was nothing specific for them. The guide said at the end that each child deserves a captain's diploma, but we didn't see anything. I could have chosen a less expensive classic cruise. What's more, there was no way to find the departure point at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
