Canal St Martin cruise to Musee D’Orsay - We really enjoyed the whole experience! The views are fabulous and Lea, who was our guide, did an excellent job of storytelling and setting the scenes around what we were seeing. The bar on board is small but adequate and John (our captain) and Roberto were on hand for anything that anyone needed. The locks are an incredible piece of engineering and there is enough to keep both technically minded people and young children entertained throughout the 2 1/2hr cruise. Highly recommended!

Very nice cruise - The course is pleasant and especially the comment is exciting. We learn a lot DE and note ENt historical anecdotes that help us understand where expressions come from that we use without knowing the origin.

Very pleasant and informative walk - Walk one Sunday morning, we were with Captain Anthony and Lea who made us live a very pleasant time. We were delighted with the information given throughout the activity, allowing us to (re)discover Paris and its monuments!

Great experience - Beautiful cruise. Léa and Antony were at the top and remained very professional and attentive to travelers despite the unease of a lady who had to be evacuated by firemen during the journey. Cruise advised by a friend, during which you learn a lot of things. I strongly advise her too. Thank you 😉

Amazing/ highly recomended - Highly recommended cruise. Much better than the standard Seine cruise. The guide lady (Leia as I remember) onboard told very very interesting informations about Paris in a very nice style. She elevated the cruise experience to a higher level.

Beautiful walk - With my friends we enjoyed this walk on the canal and then on the Seine, the comments were precise and punctuated by anecdotes, the weather was beautiful, the sun highlighted the monuments of Paris and we took full eyes. Congratulations to the crew and thank you for their kindness.

Freshness in times of great heat. - Thank you to all the team on board for the quality of the comments and the historical, literary anecdotes of Lea, the availability of the staff and the quality of piloting. I recommend the morning visit, in times of great heat, we found the freshness of the trees and water.

Fabulous way to see Paris - This is a fabulous 2.5 hours trip & a fabulous way to see Paris old & new , known & unknown (at least to us). Passing through nine locks, a two kms tunnel , a swing bridge & a lift bridge, it’s a wonderful way to experience the city from a historical & very different perspective . As wonderful, was the commentary - highly informative (in French & English) & very funny. The boat has plenty of seats - especially on top - & it doesn’t take too many people. Great value for money. An unmissable experience .

Suggestion - Passengers should be made aware that the trip does not return to the start and returning to the origin point is the passengers responsibility. A handout of the canal and options for returning would be useful especially to visitors from other countries.
