Batobus Reviews

Nice boat ride. You can get on and off which is great. Second time on. Great for kids.

Wow! What a great experience.. to be able to see everything along the river during the day and the as it got dark all the lights that illuminated the city! I saw the Eiffel Tower lite up for the first time while on this cruise so lovely

Very comfortable and convenient ways to see most of major attractions in Paris. Paris seeing from upper deck is even more beautiful. Audio guide is basic but I did learn some interesting history. If you are not in rush, this is a great way to tour the city for the first time.

The Batobus river tour of the Seine in Paris is a nice way to see some of the tourist attractions in Paris that are at the river bank. You can get off, visit the site, and then, when you're ready to continue, get on the next boat to continue the tour. The seats are comfortable, but there are three issues that prevent me from giving this service a full five stars.

1. During the height of the tourist season, which is when I was there, the boats should come along more frequently.

2. Because people tend to take pictures through the windows, they should keep the windows cleaner than they do now.

3. The guides who describe the sights should describe more of the sights than they do now. They should describe places that the boat passes as well as the ones where the boat stops, and the public address system should have better quality speakers. They are not using 21st century speakers. The sound quality sounded like they are using technology from the 1980s.

It was fun , and toom us to many different nice places in one go instead of looking for buses and metros to how to get there , we spent one days exploring them by the batobus

It s good if you do not want to walk a lot. I was there at about 1pm and the sun was on the right side of the boat. So you may want to take note on where to sit. Services runs until 5pm only; which is a very short time if you ask me. Considering I bought the tickets at 1:30pm. Oh yes, the tickets are 24h upon purchase. So if you bought tickets at 12pm, you can use it until 12pm tomorrow!

There are 9 stops in total and takes about 1h45m to complete the whole loop.

There were a few things we didn t personally like but it s just a preference.
1) The cashier is VERY VERY hard on exact change. Do not understand why. Insist that we give exact change.
2) The seats at the centre isle springs back noisily.
3) The wait at the dock is too long sometimes; do not understand why since there s nobody queuing.

Include some scenic photos

Super touristy as you can expect. Long lines just to get in, go on the elevator up, and then the next elevator to the summit, and then back down... you get the picture. Be prepared to spend at least 2-3 hours here. Tickets can be bought on the day there, the queues were mainly for getting in.

Again, worth ticking it off your list. There are toilets as well so you should be good!

Took the boat tour when I visited France. Nothing compares to sitting with a bunch of strangers and waving at people by the river Bank and on the bridges. Had a lot of fun and I definitely recommend if you're into that.

This worked really well for us 17 euros for each adult and 8 for each kid. Boats came very regularly and there was always space to sit down. Drops you right next to the main sights and in some cases we got off, walked to the next stop and got on again. I felt like it gave us a great view of the city from the river as well as a lot of freedom.
