Fue genial, totalmente recomendable. Comentar que el enlace de la ubicación que indican en el correo, te lleva a un embarcadero más lejano, sería genial que lo cambiasen. Sería perfecto que se indicasen los horarios disponibles de los barcos, ayudaría mucho en la organización del viaje Translate this opinion into English.

It was great, totally recommended. Comment that the location link indicated in the email takes you to a more distant pier, it would be great if they changed it. It would be perfect if the available boat schedules were indicated, it would help a lot in organizing the trip Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue OK porque depende mucho de en qué momento accedes al barco ya que hay sitios desde donde se puede ver muy bien todo y otros que no. Arriba seguro que muy bien pero cuando está lleno te toca ir abajo, donde la visibilidad es muy limitada y tampoco se oye muy bien lo que dice la guia. Es donde estuvimos nosotros. Por suerte en el recorrido de vuelta pudimos disfrutar de la Torre Eiffel iluminada pero del resto de monumentos no. Consejo: si no podéis ir arriba esperar al siguiente

It was OK, but it really depends on when you board the boat, as there are places with great views and others where you can't. Upstairs, you'll definitely have a great view, but when it's crowded, you'll have to go downstairs, where visibility is very limited and you can't hear the guide very well. That's where we were. Luckily, on the return trip, we were able to enjoy the illuminated Eiffel Tower, but not the other monuments. Tip: If you can't go upstairs, wait for the next boat.

Merece mucho la pena, especialmente al entre al anochecer. Empezamos el crucero de día y a la vuelta vimos la ciudad iluminada, llegando justo a tiempo para ver los destellos de la Torre Eiffel. Espectacular. Lo habíamos reservado para un día que finalmente llovió y pudimos hacerlo al día siguiente sin problema. Translate this opinion into English.

It's well worth it, especially going in at dusk. We started the cruise during the day and on the way back we saw the city lit up, arriving just in time to see the Eiffel Tower twinkle. Spectacular. We had booked it for a day that ended up raining, but we were able to do it the next day without any problem. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hacer la excursión por el Sena con este servicio fue bueno porque al tener los tickets ya comprados nos ahorramos la espera bajo el sol de agosto. El paseo es agradable y acompañado de una explicación sencilla sobre los principales edificios alrededor del río. Translate this opinion into English.

Taking the Seine River tour with this service was great because having pre-purchased tickets saved us from waiting in the August sun. The tour is pleasant and includes a simple explanation of the main buildings along the river. Opinion translated. Show original.

La información un poco escasa, si compras el boleto no puedes ni reservar hora, solo te dan información de orientación. Si llegas y no sabes por dónde pasar te aviso… es la fila enorme que vez… como nos dijo la chica de información “Todos ellos tienen entrada reservada y pagada”. Luego en el barco que te diré… todos corriendo para pillar sitio, personas peleando por que otras se quedaban de pie en las barandillas, un grupo de 5-6 chicas se fue por las escaleras que daban al “capitán” a ligar…

The information was a bit scarce; if you buy a ticket, you can't even reserve a time slot, they only give you basic information. If you arrive and don't know where to go, let me tell you… it's the enormous line you see… as the information girl told us, “They all have reserved and paid tickets.” Then on the boat, what can I say… everyone was running to get a seat, people were fighting over who got to stand on the railings, and a group of 5-6 girls went up the stairs to the “captain’s” area to try and pick someone up…

Paseo muy agradable donde ves los principales monumentos desde el rio. Lo unica pega que no hay nadie regulando que la gente no se ponga de pie o que los niños no corran por la superficie y hay gente muy maleducada que no piensa que no van solos en el barco Translate this opinion into English.

A very pleasant boat trip where you can see the main monuments from the river. The only downside is that there's no one regulating whether people stand up or if children run on the deck, and some people are very rude and don't seem to realize they're not alone on the boat.

La experiencia en sí nos ha gustado pero demasiada cola y el barco muy lleno aunque como nos tocó subir de los primeros y tuvimos la suerte de poder elegir el lugar donde nos sentamos. El recorrido nos pareció un poco más corto de lo habitual (fue el último viaje del barco).

We liked the experience itself, but there was too much of a line and the boat was very full, although we were among the first to board and were lucky enough to choose where we sat. The trip felt a bit shorter than usual (it was the last trip of the boat).

Muy buena, solo estaría bien que la fecha para usar el pase del barco tuviera más margen para ser utilizada, nos toco los días se Canícula y hacia muchísimo calor. La experiencia super bonita, solo estaría bien tener opción de utilizar el bono en una semana indistintamente el día Translate this opinion into English.

Very good, it would just be good if the date for using the boat pass had more flexibility; we went during the dog days of summer and it was incredibly hot. The experience was wonderful, it would just be nice to have the option to use the pass any day of the week. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fuimos al final de la tarde y la fila era muy larga, la mayoría de la gente haciendo la fila y corría rápido, pero mucha gente colándose. Aunque existe toda una logística, faltaría ampliar el control. Al subir la barco nos tocó abajo y nos salimos a la borda del barco y ahí no se escuchaban los comentarios del guía. El recorrido es hermoso y se pueden apreciar muchos de los edificios emblemáticos. Translate this opinion into English.

We went in the late afternoon and the line was very long. Most people were waiting in line and moving quickly, but many were cutting in. Although there's a whole system in place, they need to improve security. When we boarded the boat, we ended up below deck, so we went over the side and couldn't hear the guide's commentary. The tour itself is beautiful, and you can see many iconic buildings. Opinion translated. Show original.

La crociera sulla Senna è stata un’esperienza davvero meravigliosa, vissuta intensamente dall’inizio alla fine. Navigare tra i monumenti simbolo di Parigi, ammirandoli da una prospettiva unica, ha reso tutto ancora più speciale. Il momento del tramonto, con il cielo che si tingeva di colori incredibili e le luci della città che iniziavano ad accendersi, ha regalato un’atmosfera magica e indimenticabile. Un’esperienza che consiglio assolutamente a chi visita Parigi. Translate this opinion into English.

The Seine River cruise was a truly wonderful experience, thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Sailing past Paris's iconic monuments, admiring them from a unique perspective, made everything even more special. Sunset, with the sky ablaze with incredible colors and the city lights beginning to come on, created a magical and unforgettable atmosphere. It's an experience I absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Paris. Opinion translated. Show original.

Croisière un peu décevante cette fois-ci. Comparé à ma dernière visite, l’expérience était moins intéressante, notamment à cause du peu de commentaires pour présenter Paris. Le trajet reste joli, mais l’aspect culturel n’est plus vraiment au rendez‑vous.

This cruise was a bit disappointing. Compared to my last visit, the experience was less interesting, mainly due to the lack of commentary about Paris. The route itself was still beautiful, but the cultural aspect was largely absent.

Mi experiencia en el paseo en barco por el río Sena fue muy agradable. Las vistas de París desde el agua son hermosas y el recorrido permite apreciar monumentos emblemáticos desde una perspectiva diferente. Sin embargo, considero que sería importante controlar mejor la cantidad de personas que acceden al segundo piso de la embarcación. Durante el trayecto hubo demasiados pasajeros en esa zona, lo que dificultó disfrutar cómodamente de las vistas, tomar fotografías y desplazarse con seguridad. Translate this opinion into English.

My experience on the boat ride along the Seine River was very pleasant. The views of Paris from the water are beautiful, and the trip allows you to appreciate iconic monuments from a different perspective. However, I believe it would be important to better control the number of people accessing the second floor of the vessel. During the journey, there were too many passengers in that area, which made it difficult to comfortably enjoy the views, take photographs, and move around safely. Opinion translated. Show original.

Cuando llegamos a mediodia a París lo mejor que pudimos hacer fue acercarnos a los muelles hacia las 8 para coger un paseo por el Sena. Llevábamos las entradas pero sin hora concertada, salían cada 20 minutos. El paseo precioso. 1 hora de ida y vuelta y después esperamos allí mismo, en un café en el muelle, hasta las 10 que se iluminó la Tour Eiffel. Translate this opinion into English.

When we arrived in Paris at noon, the best thing we could do was head to the docks around 8 to take a cruise on the Seine. We had the tickets but without a scheduled time; they left every 20 minutes. The cruise was beautiful. 1 hour round trip, and then we waited right there, in a café on the dock, until 10 when the Eiffel Tower lit up. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tenia una reserva en barco por el Sena hoy, pero tuve problemas con el vuelo Podrian pasarme la reserva para el jueves 14 de mayo por favor? Ayer escribí por WhatsApp pero no tuve respuesta. Sé que estoy pidiendo una excepción, pero como tengo varias reservas, ojalá puedan hacerlo. Esperaré una respuesta. Saludos Ana

I had a boat trip reservation on the Seine today, but I had problems with my flight. Could you please reschedule my reservation for Thursday, May 14th? I messaged you on WhatsApp yesterday but haven't received a response. I know I'm asking for an exception, but since I have several reservations, I hope you can accommodate me. I'll wait for your reply. Best regards, Ana

La excursión cumplió con nuestras expectativas. El recorrido es hermoso. Si querés subir a la planta de arriba que está descubierta, procura llegar temprano para conseguir lugar porque hay mucha gente. Nosotros elegimos el horario del atardecer, fuimos 19.30 y llegamos bien para salida del barco a las 20 hs. Tene en cuenta que hay procesos de seguridad antes de ingresar. Lo recomiendo Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion met our expectations. The tour is beautiful. If you want to go up to the open-air upper level, try to arrive early to get a spot because it gets very crowded. We chose the sunset tour, arrived at 7:30 pm, and made it in time for the 8:00 pm boat departure. Keep in mind that there are security checks before entering. I highly recommend it.

Hizo buen tiempo y fue un paseo agradable. Así que básicamente bien. No está señalizado que las entradas de Civitatis son con la compañía proveedora así que te puedes confundir. Mucho ojo. Y a mi no se me abrió la audio guía del QR así que solo disfrute del paseo y los comentarios exporadicos que hacían en español por megafonía.

The weather was nice and it was a pleasant walk. So basically, it was good. It's not clearly marked that Civitatis tickets are with the tour operator, so you can easily get confused. Be careful. And my QR code audio guide didn't work, so I just enjoyed the walk and the occasional commentary in Spanish over the PA system.

Como indicamos claramente en la descripción de la actividad, Civitatis nunca opera directamente las actividades que distribuye. Las personas que te atendieron eran de nuestra empresa colaboradora en destino, cuyos datos te facilitamos por email. Esta información se da para que sea tenida en cuenta, sentimos si no pudo ser el caso. Translate this opinion into English.

El tour es muy bonito!! Recomendado ir al atardecer, para verlo de día a la ida y de noche iluminado a la vuelta. Importante tener en cuenta que se forman largas colas, y el ticket es sin hora. Nosotras queríamos coger el barco de las 20:20 sin saber que iba a haber esa cola y tuvimos que coger el siguiente. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is beautiful! I recommend going at sunset, so you can see it illuminated during the day on the way there and at night on the way back. It's important to note that there are long queues, and the ticket doesn't specify a time. We wanted to take the 8:20 pm boat without knowing there would be such a long queue, and we had to take the next one. Opinion translated. Show original.

la actividad merece la pena, sobre todo en los barcos nocturnos. El único problema es que hay demasiada gente en cada barco y la zona de arriba, que es la que merece la pena, se llena en exceso de gente y no hay forma de saber en qué sitio te vas a poner cuando empiezas la cola Translate this opinion into English.

the activity is worth it, especially on the night boats. The only problem is that there are too many people on each boat and the upper area, which is the one worth it, gets excessively crowded and there’s no way to know where you’re going to sit when you start queuing.

La actividad es impresionante y merece mucho la pena. Lo único inconveniente fue la cantidad de gente que había en el barco ya que apenas podías sentarte en la parte de arriba. Deberían poner fijas las horas de cada persona para llevar mejor control. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity is amazing and well worth it. The only downside was the number of people on the boat, as it was nearly impossible to find a seat upstairs. They should assign specific times for each person to better manage the situation. Opinion translated. Show original.
