Food absolutely delicious but different menu to advertised on app. We chose to buy drinks onboard rather than champagne package and that was great. A lovely lady singing and commentating added to the atmosphere and fun. Highly recommend!”

Dessert was very small but first 2 courses were awesome. The boat was the largest, most spacious and prettiest one I saw on the water. Made me feel fancy and luxurious. Staff were so friendly. Didn’t have to rush to a seat, everyone’s seats are pre-allocated based on bookings and you had your own tables.”

Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

10.Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,310 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $483

Start around 6:30 pm with a three-course Seine dinner cruise, then visit the Eiffel Tower’s second floor before heading to Montmartre for the Moulin Rouge Féerie show. Champagne, shared tables, coach transfers, and a city-center drop-off are included, but timing and seating can vary.

“With the cost of the tickets for this experience, I was shocked that you had to pay extra for beef on the dinner cruise and we were charged 8 euros for a bottle of water! That was extremely excessive and I was very disappointed by that! Everything else was good although you really don’t have a lot of time for the Eiffel Tower tour and hope to catch the bus on time for the Moulin Rouge. The last issue was that there’s supposed to be a dress code for the Moulin Rouge, but it looked like you could actually wear whatever you want!”

“I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this company was deeply disappointing. The level of service I received was far below what any customer should expect. Communication was poor, issues went unresolved, and the overall professionalism simply wasn’t there. I spent far too much time trying to get basic concerns addressed, and the responses I did receive were unhelpful and dismissive. They charged me for an experience I never got to enjoy and refuse to refund me. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. I hope they take this feedback seriously and make improvements, because the current standard is unacceptable.”

“The sights , the food and the service was excellent. After enjoying a glass of wine up top and watching the iconic sites we passed by, we went downstairs for dinner. Although my fish was delicious, a portion of it was undercooked and so I left it on my plate. Surprisingly, the waiter noticed this and the manager came to my table to offer me a cheese plate. I accepted an after dinner bailey's instead. I was definitely impressed with this service. The cruise and dinner and service were worth the price.”
