A wonderful adventure into a part of Paris we had never seen in our many visits. Enjoyed the appropriately funny commentary.

henriette_b

Everything on this trip was great. It is a Nice little boat. We had a great guide , fluent and entertaining in french and english. The canal runs through yet another fascinating part of Paris, and you experience Locks and tunnels from the Napoleon times. Spiced with history.

Janet_R

The beginning was ok but the second half was just housing. Don't want to comment further. End of story.

scott_s

Could not go on the river. Only canals. Not worth the price. I understand it is out of your control but you should refund at least half the costs

Teo-Lomond

A genuine 5 star experience: interesting tour, valuable information and inside stories, with a friendly and helpful crew!

kenneth_p

The tour guide spoke in English and French, but spent more time in French, and in having to cover both language's, I feel we missed some of the sights (we are going by while he says it in French and we already past it when he switches to mention it in English). His attempt at humor fell flat as well. You could offer English only tours or at least specify that the guide will be doing it bilingually, if not.

it a wonderful ride through the. canals and particularly great adventure for children. Highly recommend as a don't miss. even if the weather if funky it works!

It was awful. I am not sure of the name of our meeting point. It was a 2:30pm afternoon trip. The boat left from a location whereby there were nine locks for us to pass through. It was a 2 hour trip of waiting for locks (gates) to open. The surroundings while we waited were walls covered in graffiti and make shift tents. There was nothing pleasurable about this tour. Our guide spoke in both French and English. He droned on and on for the duration of the trip. We ended up being on the River Seine for about 15 minutes total. We could purchase wine served in a tiny plastic cup with barely of mouthful of wine.

Great views with excellent commentary by the crew Everything was exactly as represented by the ad information

Tour was very good. However drops off in different part of city which is not clear in description. Staff was not extremely helpful in how to return. Advise only for seasoned travelers who can navigate metro lines.
