We went on the 2 1/2 hour trip from Musee D'Orsay to La Villette via the Sant Martin Canal. It was a brilliant trip - seeing a completely different part of Paris, with the history, the locks and the views. Would recommend highly.

Lovely cruise from the Musée d'Orsay up the Canal St. Martin to Parc de la Villette. Some of the trip was underground but the guide still had interesting info to share with us. Very informative and great to end up in such a beautiful location. In the summer there is a lido in la Villette, which might be worth exploring in the heat.

We really enjoyed our little cruise from the Musée d'Orsay up to La Villette through the Canal St. Martin with Paris Canal. It's a great way to see the city (and the tunnel the ships pass through is fascinating, too). The guide gave us a lot of info in English and French. Since the ship has to pass nine locks, you need to have the patience for waiting in the locks for quite a while.

I took a group of 35 people on a 6-hour Seine and Marne rivers. It was flawless. The lunch was delicious, the bilingual commentator perfect, even the weather was cooperating. Gorgeous day, congratulations.

circuit was from Musee de l´Orangerie, and finishes in la Villete. Departure was on time, good explanation of every place, organized and nice crew. Thanks Paris Canal we had a really good time

Staff of the ship was competent (good explanations in French and English) and friendly! We will recommend this sight seeing event!

This was a 2.5 hour cruise, entitled River Seine Cruise. We were expecting to see a lot of the city from the river but in reality the first 2 hours 15 minutes was negotiating canal locks! We saw Notre Dame but that was all.....

I could enjoy one of beautiful Pari view in high winter season.It was slow and good time on cruise!!

we had a very nice trip on a cold day! It was very interesting to listen the famous guide on the boat.

Paris in another view, beautiful, funny. Guide was perfect, possibility to drink wine while you look around.

It’s a long trip in cold damp weather and we needed more and better commentary and history. The poor quality of the sound system and our guide’s very heavy accent made it harder to understand. His French commentary was much more interesting to the extent I could follow it. Fascinating ride but should be a better experience

The cruise was very interested but we would have appreciated if there was coffee service while on cruise. Thanks

I was happy to discover that we could explore another way to enjoy a Paris boat ride. Leaving from Parc du Viliette, gave us the opportunity to see another neighborhood. Using 9 locks on the canal we made our way to the Seine, around the Bastille ending at Musée D’Orsay. During the Pictureseque ride we had lively commentary from one of the boat crew which truly enhanced the experience . I would not hesitate to try this different approach to the Seine, it was a great way to see another part of Paris.

We don’t recommend this trip. It seemed like a long 2 1/2 hours. There were two overall problems. First, the guide’s English was very hard to understand. We caught the meaning of about 25% of it, so we really comprehended very little of the commentary. Learning about the history of the canal and its history would likely be interesting. Then, it was simply a rather boring trip. The majority of our time was spent inside the very high number of locks. It was interesting the first time or two to see and feel the water flowing in and raising the boat, but it was really slow going and monotonous after the first 40 minutes or so. Others on our trip were also unhappy with the experience....

The tour was outstanding! Unlike any other river tour that simply runs up and down the Seine River in town. This tour starts n the original part of Paris and then runs through a series of locks as you view the older sections and original waterway of Paris and ultimately takes into and around the Eiffel Tower. Very creative and historical tour!
