    We loved the illumination bus tour and the Seine river cruise! Even though it rained, the views (and pictures we got) were amazing. The tour is very well organized, the duration is perfect too. The place were we had to redeem our vouchers for tickets was easy to find.

    The Seine River Cruise and bus tour was a great way to see Paris at night all lit up and beautiful. The bus tour provided some great information about some of the major tourist attractions. Definitely worth doing. The staff were very attentive and the nibbles were lovely and plentiful.

    This tour is an absolute must do!!! The tour began just before sunset and finished at the Eiffel Tower with the tower floodlit and on the hour the 20,000 lights also blinked for 5 minutes making the tower appear to sparkle. A great way to see Paris illuminated and to relax whilst getting your bearings in the city.

    It gets you around. The fact the bus had dirty windows. So pictures out the front were horrible. Cheesy story on head set. Time to update with the times. No one wants to hear there love story which was corny. The boat ride was okay.

    Driver was very courteous, and very knowledgeable about the area. He spoke EXCELLENT English. The boat cruise was great, it used an APP on your phone to play the commentary. However, it would be nice to mention this in the description so someone would know to bring ear buds for their phone.

    Paris illuminations tour was expected to be a drive abound the city to get a nights view of Pais . The bus tour was short through non business and non entertainment areas. somewhat boring. River cruise was not much better either. It was all worth about $10. waste of money

    Paris CityVision who hosted the cruise and bus night tour were fantastic in guiding us to tne meeting point. The activity itself was ok: as neither the bus tour or river cruise were fully narrated. We took the tour on our second day in Paris and it was a good way to get oriented to the city. The river cruise was very nice but the bus tour was primarily in the downtown core and with the Paris traffic stop and go.

    Absolutely Brilliant. A must see view of Paris. Totally different from any other views.

  • 20-Jul-2018

    We did this our first night in Paris, and we really enjoyed the river, the breeze, the sunset, and seeing Parisians and tourists out enjoying the evening all along the river. It was a great way to get an overview of the center city at the start of our stay.
    We met the tour at the dock instead of at the tour office; it was very hard to find the right place to meet the tour. The instructions were not specific enough about where to meet and what to look for. That was the only problem we experienced.

    So pretty! The Eiffel Tower lit up was wonderful and the twilight along the whole cruise was beautiful. I cannot say enough about our guide Jean and I owe him a thank you note for delivering my 83-yr-old mother and I to our hotel at the end.
