Traveler reviews
What a shame.....
While the welcome is perfect, the staff is very friendly, professional, and attentive, and the meal offers a very good quality/price ratio (including for the children's menu), it is unfortunate, to say the least, that the "routine" maintenance of the boat leaves much to be desired. We had this lunch cruise on a scorching day (35 to 40°C outside), and not only was the air conditioning too weak (if not nonexistent), but also nearly 1/3 of the ceiling blinds were missing, which made us feel like we were in a greenhouse. This is absolutely not normal and spoiled a good part of this day. These are lamentable savings and reflect a total lack of respect for the customer by the management of Bateaux Mouches. What a shame because, as mentioned above, the staff and the meal are very good, hence the "Average" rather than "mediocre" or even "Horrible."
Very good experience
Very good experience. Smiling staff who are attentive to your needs. Excellent food. Good value for money
A chaos to enter the boat.
The organization was terrible. We were hundreds of people waiting for a boat. They direct us to one door and open another, and in a small hallway, many people try to enter. We looked like cattle trying to enter the slaughterhouse. And then on the boat, you can't see any of the people that are there. I do not recommend this company at all.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I recommend it for a great time with friends.
We had a wonderful time with friends. The choice of dishes allowed my guests to enjoy according to their tastes. A big thank you to Clara, our main waitress, as well as to the entire team who contributed to the smooth running of this meal. A very good choice for celebrating my birthday. I recommend this option.
Interesting ride.
The ride had expectations, then it wasn't so much. At noon, on a sunny day the cabin was not equipped, air conditioning was lacking, too hot.
