Great family experience - Very nice cruise to do as a family with children. Our guide was great! Fun and informative anecdotes for children and adults. Opportunities to ask questions and participate for children, who have not seen the time pass.

Fun and educational for children and parents - Very good time with the family, with a great guide (Myriam) who asked the children questions as the walk progressed. Beautiful view of the monuments especially upstairs. We recommend in good weather…

To do - A good time, with interesting comments on Paris. Only downside: the wait was long (it was a public holiday).

Flooding caused the route... - Flooding caused the route to be changed - it wasn’t clear when booking online. We were offered another day when arriving at the boat but like most people we didn’t have spare days.
This trip was stated as a family focussed trip but I couldn’t see anything family oriented or different to any other cruise

Not kid directed as advertised. - Very disappointing. We were excited for this cruise advertised as kid friendly. We had a 6 and 3 year old and this was not the case. One guide on a large ship only on top deck. Only real nod to children was the cookies and juice for sake. Not what we expected at all.

Naive atnaque - Big con. On the pretext of a boat blocking the passage the cruise part was removed from the island of the city. Actually there was no boat. To escape.

Sadly, not what we hoped for! - Sadly, this was not the experience we had hoped for! Narration was not clear, and English was VERY brief compared to the French narration. Nothing was presented especially for kids…and we could have gone on the earlier boats!!!

Poor service, no cafe, not family friendly, kids bored - This boat trip was very poor, the woman at the bar refused to give me a coffee saying I hadn't brought the right ticket to buy a coffee, yet 10 mins after I watched someone buy a expresso. If they cafe wasn't opened, as advitised as part of the cruise, then we should have been informed at check in so we could have brought stuff with me. The lady doing the tour only spoke to one person on board and did not interact very well with the children. Honestly the reason we chose this over other cheaper options was the cafe and I felt so let down by that.

Not a "kid friendly" tour as advertised - went on the family tour expecting it to be a kid friendly tour. We learned nothing. The seats were all taken on top the boat and we could not see anything the guide was talking about and he was talking so far we could hardly understand. It was not talked about in a way a child could understand and there was supposed to be some "diploma' for kids at the end, there was not. It was a very disappointing hour and we were happy to get off.
