We were the last ones on and had to sit inside on the bottom floor which wasn't great but I just walked out to the front deck to take these pics so it all worked out. I bought my tickets way ahead of time (more than a month) and paid online. Although it's not required, I didn't have a flexible schedule so I needed to have a reservation. I also wanted to time it to see the sparkling tower. Other boats are bigger and are just first come first serve. There are many many other river cruise companies you can choose from. This one just worked out for us because we were staying nearby and could walk.

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.

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

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.

For something different on our short stay in Paris, we decided to go a bit off the beaten path and…read morecheck out a cruise on the Canal St Martin. We've been on the classic Seine tour before, but this is a big cut above. Starting off on the canal in the 10th ar., a spot in Paris that's a bit less polished and touristy, you board the double decker boat (inside or outside seating) about 20-30 min prior. You go through 3 different locks (of 9 total on the canal) on what was the food highway for Paris back in the day-over 27 meters lower by the time you reach the Seine. Shortly after lock 2, the canal goes underground! For 2KM! And you eventually pass directl beneath the 50 M tall obelisk of the place de Bastille. The bi-lingual guide, Thomas, narrated along the entire 2-hour route. Once you exit the canal, you travel down the seine past the Statue of Liberty and finish back at the Pont Neuf bridge. So much better than the other swine cruises and we were lucky to have only about 35 people on board so plenty of room to get Pix.

A little hard booking and finding, but worth it!…read more I found this river tour/cruise from a recommendation from some travel bloggers. They mentioned a few things that made me want to book. It's a little messy with the booking and the website but no issues. I recommend you book ahead just to be safe. We added the champagne and the charcuterie board. Day of the tour, it is a little tough finding it. The confirmation email and voucher have the two locations of the other cruises but not the actual one you will be on! I had to read reviews to know that you don't meet at either. You meet at Pont Neuf. On a map it shows as Quai de l'Horloge, Paris, France. Just a handy FYI as we almost missed our ship. Once on, it's not the nicest but it certainly isn't bad. The guide was good and the views amazing. We were able to see the the Eiffel Tower sparkle and did a nice loop on the river. It was beautiful! I would do again but there are nicer tours. If you don't want to spend a fortune, this one is just fine!

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.

It felt like getting a private history lesson from someone who truly knew and loved the city. The cruise itself was relaxing, well-organized, and offered incredible views throughout.

Two of us love history, and we had our 6 and 8 year olds and we ALL loved how simply but accurately she explained everything. The market place where we grabbed the picnic items was so quaint and reminded me of the Pile Place Market in Seattle, but less trinkets and more fresh food, cheese and wine. The bike ride was very flat besides two little hills that were easy with our kids pedaling. The grandparents did great on their e-bikes. We all had an incredible time.

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!
