Traveller Tips

The 6pm cruise time is the ideal time to see the city especially Eiffel Tower.
If you can, get a pizza from here because it is delicious!
I highly recommend this cruise in the evening to see many sites from the water.

Would do it again!
Leslie_F, Mar 2023
Took the 6:30pm Champagne tour and it was just what we needed to start winding down our first day in Paris. Thought it was the perfect amount of time. All of the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend - we might do it again towards the end of our trip.

Lovely River Cruise
Amy_G, Mar 2023
Really enjoyed this champagne tasting along the Seine River! We planned it for our first night in Paris and it got our stay off to such a lovely start! Highly recommend!
Perfect to celebrate special occasions and relax on the Seine
Freya_C, Mar 2023
This was a really special way to see the city from the water. The champagne was all delicious, and Remi was a really friendly, knowledgeable host who explained everything about the champagne really well. I loved being able to go out the front of the boat - the only improvement would've been if we had been able to hear more of the commentary from inside the boat, as it was quite quiet and it got busy at the front of the boat.
Great time for my mum’s 60th
Zoe_G, Mar 2023
We had such a great time! 3 glasses of lovely champagne and up and down the river. The host was excellent, no complaints from us!
Champagne Tour

The river cruise with champagne was fantastic! Rudy was an amazing sommelier, his recommendations were spot on. Be sure to visit O'Chateau after the tour!! 10/10 recommend when visiting Paris!!
Ok
Rhiannon_M, Feb 2023
It was ok but nothing special compared to other boat trips. The champagne was good. Paris did look amazing in the dark though.
Beautiful river cruise
Alyssa_D, Feb 2023
A beautiful cruise down the Seine. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the champagne and the tastings were a very good size. Would recommend!
Great experience
Matthew_S, Feb 2023
Great experience... tasting of three champagnes with a wonderful sommelier who was fantastic. We've done this tour twice and loved it. Dock and embarkment area can be confusing so arrive early. Note that this cruise happened to be shared with another tour that occupied another portion of boat.
Missed the boat
Gerard_S, Feb 2023
Gave myself ample time ….. Uber driver couldn’t find us 3 seperate orders . Taxis wouldn’t pick us up finally got into a Uber and drive only to deal with horrific traffic and Uber driver dropping us off in the wrong area .
Great Tour!
Nicole_S, Feb 2023
This was such a great way to end our first night in Paris! The sommelier was fun, knowledgeable and really outgoing. The tasting room in the front of the boat gave the best views and the champagne was tasty too! I would absolutely recommend this tour!
Loved it!

The sommelier Rudy was a great add to the River cruise. We learned about and drank some great champagnes. He even recommended a great local restaurant which we went to and enjoyed.
Sommelier was awesome,...
Domingo_H, Jan 2023
Sommelier was awesome, very knowledgeable on both the champagne and historical sites! Personable and made it a great experience!
Love of Champagne
Dionne_S, Dec 2022
Learnt so much more about champagne, how to open the bottle, true meaning of Brut, extra Brut etc...sugar content and the kinds of grape usually used....was really amazing
Champagne tasting on the river Seine
JohnCassidy_C, Dec 2022
This was a very good tasting and a very experienced guide taking us through three Champanies, their taste profile and strengths. This was very focussed on the tasting of the Champagne in a lovely setting at the from of the cruise boat in a private area. if you want to totally enjoy the Seine and the lights at night maybe another tour would be better, as due to the cold weather you are in a closed windowed area. I would do this tour again and recommend as very easy to do this after visiting the Eiffel Tower as very close by.
Best way to tour Paris
Anna_F, Nov 2022
Excellent time! The best way to tour Paris is on the seine with a glass of champagne in your hand. I definitely recommend!
The champagne one a boat...
Suzanne_W, Nov 2022
The champagne one a boat at night in winter was cosy and seeing the buildings all light up. The guide was very friendly hit at times his voice didnt travel to my ears over the engine and the french guide and his megaphone in the remainder of the boat.
The Eiffel Tower and Champagne on the Seine!
Wendy_C, Nov 2022
Our sommelier was so much fun and so knowledgeable. It was our first night in Paris and it set the tone for an amazing trip. It was the best way to see everything from the Seine and to learn about and taste some amazing Champagne!!
