River Crusie Sights
Diane_K, Dec 2024
this river cruise allowed us to capture the heart of the city all within an hour. We saw many iconic sights and got a bearing on locations to start our visit. It was also very relaxing!

Lovely cruise along the Seine with a nice overview of the city. Boat was comfortable, with some commentary.
Only if you enjoy overcrowding and not being able to see the sights.
poppy, Dec 2024
There were too many people to see anything so we waited for the next sailing. The next sailing was the same so we ended up not even going and
spent money for nothing.
Terrible and expensive
Richard_S, Dec 2024
Guide did not allow enough time to return from city center to bus. Consequently had to catch a train to Brussels. Return from city to bus station not easy to navigate.
