Reviews for Bateaux Parisiens Seine River Gourmet Lunch & Sightseeing Cruise
A wonderful meal on a relaxing boat ride
nekosix
Wonderful boat trip, excellent food and service, more wine than we could drink, a relaxing way to see Paris. We did the Privilege level which gave us a table for 2 at the window. Worth the price
Great food and Wine Experience
Keith_C
A lot of fun. Great food, wine, and service. Great experience sailing down the river enjoying food drink and conversation but probably not the best tour for sight seeing and learning about the sites.
Excellent
