Not worth the money and boring trip

The speakers did not work in the boat so could not hear any of the guide. And then her access in French was too strong to understand any of the English.

Thank you for your feedback Todd, we are sorry your experience didn't match your expectations.
All of our guides put a lot of effort into providing the best commentary for our passengers, in French and English. We are sorry to read your disappointment regarding our French accent, which is our first language.
We hope to welcome you again on the Canal Saint Martin or the Seine for an unforgettable cruise!
Wishing you a great day,
Christophe from France Tourisme
Pleasant cruise through a colourful and romantic part of Paris

The most fun was had by the kids sitting in front of the boat who got splashed with water when the lock was filling. Good fun had by all.

Excellent excursion. But incredibly difficult finding where the meet-up place was. The address doesn’t have a physical location. GPS could not pinpoint a physical location. Signage would be very helpful..
A very interesting, pleasant and informative tour.

I very much enjoyed the history of the canal and locks, the scenery and visiting suburban Paris on a Sunday afternoon. A very pleasant and informative tour. Thank you very much.
Enjoyable and informational
