Written by Antonietta Schurmann, 04-04-2023

Too many people on the boat, explanations not very audible, moreover I could not have the book "les incollable", too many people at the cash registers.

No commentary throughout the course. The initiation games for the children, not very playful.

Star Star Star Star Star - Cruise on the Seine
Written by Emmanuel CENCIAI, on 23-02-2023

To do, the cruise on the Seine allows to see Paris under another angle. Small drawback: the wait (more than 1h30!! fortunately the weather was good) and too bad we had taken the supplement "les Incollables" for our children but did not see the color...

Lots of people, comments on the audio-guides out of sync with the visible monuments, live comments from a member of the crew (due to a breakdown) that interfered with the understanding of the audio-guides.

Star Star Star Star Star - The untold stories October 26
Written by veronique MABY, 06-11-2022

This cruise was presented as a family kit cruise, therefore intended for children, but I found the comments uninteresting and more than limited. I was with two of my grandchildren, 9 and 10 years old, and fortunately I know this part of Paris well, which allowed me to give them some explanations, otherwise, except that the cruise is very pleasant despite a very crowded boat, it has no cultural interest and has no link with the "incollables"! I was very disappointed. Nothing to do with one I did three years ago with another company for children of this age and very instructive.

Written by Tereza Diogo, on 14-10-2022

We sat in the front of the boat in the outside part, the walk would have been more pleasant if disrespectful people had not hidden the view by standing in the front of the boat and hiding the view all along the cruise, impossible to see and take pictures even if you ask them please, these people did not move, it's disrespectful and it spoiled the walk for many people

It was super hot. Going on the upper deck is very interesting when you want to take pictures. The guide quotes the monuments, bridges and buildings etc... The idea of the audioguide on the cell phones is great because it allows to deepen in History what we see. To do!

Very nice cruise especially at night but I paid 3 Euros to have the game with the "incollables" for my daughter during the cruise but nobody knew what I was talking about when we embarked so 3 Euros lost... it's not very serious...

Star Star Star Star Star - Parisian boats: the promenade cruise
Written by Thierry Trossel, on 13-04-2022

Activity done at the beginning of December around 18:00 with 2 children of 10 years old. Really not to make in these conditions: long waiting under the wind and the rain, we do not see much of night since the inside of boats, the audiophones do not function all... in short, we were impatient to arrive, we were bored. It's a pity, we had a lot of hope on this walk since it was the first day of our first stay in Paris. It is not impossible that we do not try again a walk on the Seine, but of day and with sun.

Star Star Star Star Star - Magical!
Written by annelaure francillette, on 22-02-2022

It was really a great ride. The children were amazed! The return trip was done at night, which gave us another perspective. On the other hand very limited explanations. Take your cell phone to know in front of which building you are passing.

Star Star Star Star Star - What a disappointment!
Written by Sophie Martin, 13-08-2020

More than 1h30 of waiting before the arrival of the boat to finally be told that it was not the right dock and of course nobody on the spot to ask for information! I strongly advise against it, it's so much easier with the riverboats...
