A fantastic trip. we'll worth the money. we went for the Premier package which proved to be well worth the little extra. lots of food, lots of wine, and great views from our perfectly placed table at the front of the boat.

It was the perfect ending to our Paris trip! If you are looking for an affordable river cruise that allows you to see the popular sights of Paris, this is the excursion for you!! We did it at dusk, and it was perfect!

The bus was comfortable and heater was on for the small breeze that was blowing. Earphones were also provided. In all a great experience for myself and my 2 children, 5 and 11 years old.

It was amazing, prioritized access so no waiting in line. 50 museums in Paris for that price is great. Would recommend if you’re a fan of museums and photography

Entrada nos museus sem fila e com pouca espera. Vale super a pena
