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.

Sale puntual y regresa puntual. El guía que habla en el altavoz le da vida al recorrido y lo hace muy entretenido. Falta que incluyan el español en los idiomas en que lo explica , pero con el inglés pude enterarme . En general recomiendo el recorrido se hacen fotos espectaculares. Translate this opinion into English.

It departs on time and returns on time. The guide, who speaks over the loudspeaker, brings the tour to life and makes it very entertaining. They need to include Spanish in the languages they offer, but I was able to understand it with English. Overall, I recommend the tour; it takes spectacular photos. Opinion translated. Show original.

Vale la pena para cuando estás cansada de andar todo el día. Lo hicimos por la tarde noche y pudimos ver la Torre Eiffel como se iluminaba y todos los monumentos de noche con sus luces. En el barco hay bebida y algunos snacks; así que es perfecto para ir el viaje. Translate this opinion into English.

It's worth it when you're tired of walking all day. We did it in the evening and we were able to see the Eiffel Tower lit up and all the monuments at night with their lights. On the boat there are drinks and some snacks; so it's perfect for the trip. Opinion translated. Show original.

Recomendado 100% un bonito paseo en barco donde ves lo más importante de la ciudad, además por la web vas escuchando el audio guía muy interesante (llevar auriculares). La mejor hora es al atardecer ya que a la vuelta es de noche y justo vimos la torre Eiffel encenderse, un momento increíblemente precioso! Translate this opinion into English.

100% recommended, a nice boat ride where you see the most important things in the city, and also through the website you can listen to the very interesting audio guide (bring headphones). The best time is at sunset because on the way back it is nighttime and we just saw the Eiffel Tower light up, an incredibly beautiful moment! Opinion translated. Show original.

Recomiendo coger el tour con esta empresa ya que el ticket es sin hora, hay barcos cada media hora y puedes ir cuando tu quieras. Los barcos son grandes por lo que no tuvimos que esperar nada para entrar. Fuimos a las 19:00 y fue perfecto porque estaba anocheciendo y en la Torre Eiffel había un espectáculo de luces. Translate this opinion into English.

I recommend taking the tour with this company as the ticket is timed, there are boats every half hour and you can go whenever you want. The boats are big so we didn't have to wait to get in. We went at 7:00 pm and it was perfect because it was getting dark and there was a light show at the Eiffel Tower. Opinion translated. Show original.
