Paris: Illuminated Evening River Cruise & Waffle Tasting

3.Paris: Illuminated Evening River Cruise & Waffle Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,697 reviews · 1 hour · from $22

Take a one-hour Seine cruise from Port de la Bourdonnais, choosing the glass-covered lower deck or open upper deck. See Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower lit at night, with audio commentary in multiple languages. A separate waffle or crêpe at Trocadéro adds a sweet finish, though it is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the boat.

“The cruise was awesome at night. We had to wait until the last boat in order to benefit from night lights along the Seine. The boat was very big so lots of people, but it was fun with people shouting and hailing us from the shore. Only problem was we pitched up without having gone for a waffle, as we didn't want one, and as a result it was tricky to get a code to get on then boat. This was not so clear on the instructions. Otherwise I would recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 702 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $234

See Paris lit up from an air-conditioned vehicle, passing the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Élysées, and Montmartre. Then watch Moulin Rouge’s Féerie revue with Champagne.

“The Moulin Rouge Show was spectacular! Beautiful women, costumes and music. Champagne was delicious. The bus tour itself was very disappointing. I realize it may have been because it was so close to the Olympics, but it was still not like anything described on your site.”

What a lovely, interesting, knowledgeable and funny guy he is. The 1.5 hours riding in his 2CV on a cold New Years evening and learning about Paris is probably one of the best things we’ve done on this trip.”
