I really enjoyed this little trip, it was a great way to start the holiday and see the sights from a different perspective, the only downside was people continually standing up in front of you spoiling the view for many others. The illuminations tour by bus after the boat trip was quite interesting too.

This made our first night in Paris a great memory!

We arrived in Paris on Saturday afternoon and after checking in to our hotel we freshened up and walked the few blocks to the tour office. The boat ride on the Seine was great. The weather was clear and not too hot. The cruise began at 800PM while there is still sunlight and lasted for about two hours. We returned to the pier near the Eiffel tower and boarded a bus for the illumination tour. The Illumination tour was excellent! Paris is a completely different city by night. Would recommend this tour combination to anyone who wants to get an overall Paris experience.

Well organized and very friendly from beginning to end. Enjoyed every minute of the evening.

I was so impressed by how the trip was so carefully organized. With the long summer days, I didn't know what would be "illuminated" at such an early hour. The tour is perfectly planned. You take a cruise along the Seine at dusk. You are let off at the Eiffel Tower where we had about 40 minutes to gaze at the tower and grab a quick bite. By sundown we were jumping on a comfy bus right by the Eiffel Tower and treated to a twinkling tour and auditory history and information of the major sites. The driver and guide were so careful to stop at the perfect angles for photo opportunities - so bring your camera! They would even turn twice to make sure both sides of the bus got good views. My friend joined me and he is from Amsterdam. I listened to the English audio as he listened to the Dutch version! This trip is worth the small price. It was raining on my trip, yet it was still breathtaking!!
