Siene Boat Ride
 

Is it best to do the Siene Boat Tour day or night? Which tour is best? Dinner or not? Thank you much....

Go at dusk. Forget dinner. Eat at a real cafe.

Night. No food on the boat. There's much better fare to be had. Have a great time!

I second Lisa's answer. I wasn't sure how much we were gong to see at night but the sights were absolutely fabulous at night.

.....but may I add, if you don't have time to do it at night, the daytime trip is nice, too.

I have to stand up for the dinner cruise but only the top level prestiege cruise. you are in the front section of a glass boat waited on hand and foot, live music, hand made truffles, cognac, very good food and the best view of paris. NOt to mention a lovely time . I find that many people on this board bash the dinner cruise because it is touristy ( last time i checked i was a tourist ) and it is about 100.00 a person and out of their budget. They served fine wines and champagne and was a great experience.

All: Muchas gracias for the advice....

I wouldn't "bash" the dinner cruise because of it being touristy, though it is that (no oné's denying that - I've been on those boats two dozen times, as a tourist, and love them), but because for the same money you can have a far better meal in a nearby bistro, brasserie, or restaurant. Back out the cost of the meal from the total cruise price and you'll see that you could eat a wonderful dinner at the Brasserie Ile St-Louis, for example, and take a boat ride on the Seine at night and have what in my opinion is a better experience for the same or less money.
