A terrific way to spend the afternoon between the Eiffel Tower in the morning and the boat trip in the afternoon. The aquarium was fascinating and thoughtfully laid out with lots to see and interactive areas such as the Japanese Koi carp tank and QR choices to enhance knowledge.

We took our 3.5 yo grandson to the Aquarium. He really liked the Koi exhibit and touching the fish. He was not ready for the live shows and I did not realize there was a live mermaid show until later. I understand being in Paris it is in French, however English handouts would be nice as there are many visitors from all over there.

The visit is very pleasant and the 2 shows we attended were very good, even if a little short for our taste. There weren't too many people in the aquarium and the explanations were of good quality.

Our visit to Headout was great!!! We were in Paris with the French Language Center of Mrs. Evangelia Livanou, where our little daughter is studying and the visit to the aquarium was one of the most beautiful activities of our trip! It was great to meet Dory!!! We were also impressed by the jellyfish and the open aquarium with goldfish that we could pet. Finally, we were pleasantly surprised that by the time we reached the entrance, the problem that had arisen from us stealing our tickets alone was taken care of by the rest of our tour group. Team headout thanks so much for the friendly atmosphere and the wonderful experience!

I found that despite the beauty of the aquariums and aquatic animals, the Little Prince show was very short, and I was also unable to find out when the Little Mermaid show would be on, which the little girl we were with wanted to see. We were very disappointed.

I recently visited the Aquarium de Paris, and it was an absolutely brilliant experience! From the moment I arrived, I was amazed by the diversity and beauty of the marine species on display. The tanks are magnificent, and the visit is both instructive and captivating. I particularly liked the interactive quiz, which was a fun way to test your knowledge of the oceans and sea creatures. It was both fun and educational, and helped me learn even more! But the real highlight of my visit was the mermaid show. A magical moment combining poetry and aquatic spectacle, with an impressive performance and spellbinding atmosphere. It was a truly unique experience that added a touch of enchantment to the visit. The Aquarium de Paris is a perfect outing for the whole family or just a couple, and I highly recommend a visit if you're in Paris. A total immersion in the marine world not to be missed!

Taking a Seine River cruise in Paris was truly one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment we boarded, everything was smooth, well-organized, and inviting. The boat was modern and comfortable, with panoramic windows and an open-air deck that offered stunning views of the city. As we glided along the river, the sights were nothing short of breathtaking. Passing by iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay while the sun set and the city lights began to sparkle was an absolutely magical experience. Seeing Paris from the water gives you a unique and romantic perspective that you simply can’t get on foot. The commentary on board was informative but not overwhelming, giving just enough background to enrich the journey. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere—perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or simply soaking in the beauty of Paris. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to the City of Light, I highly recommend taking a Seine cruise. It’s a timeless experience that captures the heart and soul of Paris in the most elegant way.

Ticketing online was easy. The cruise was great! I loved that all the seats were outward-facing so you (almost) never had to look over people. We did the dusk cruise in March and got the best of both worlds by seeing Paris in the daylight and lit up in the dark, too. Would have loved a bit more info on the bridges and a bit more time to take pics (Pont Alexandre, especially), but overall, would definitely do again!

If you like history, then it's definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed the whole experience from the gardens to the Palace itself. Would definitely recommend.

Everything was fine with the ticket and the service, they even called to make sure I didn't have any questions. I received the ticket again via WhatsApp the day before, so everything was really on the safe side.
The castle itself is overrated for me, there are more beautiful places in Paris and the surrounding area.
The garden is beautiful and really worth seeing and lovingly designed.

The exhibition is magnificent. Despite having booked a time slot, we had to wait 15 minutes and the rooms were very full, so that we had to push past the photos in a row.

Easy access to the Museum...
What really interested me was the reality of the positions of the public figures in the Museum. It's amazing not to know whether the person in front of you is real or not. I deliberately took close-up photos of people in whom I found a magnificent resemblance. Skin, eyes, facial expression, all remarkably reproduced. A big BRAVO to the whole team.

Our visit to the Eiffel Tower was a memorable experience! Anjali was an excellent guide – knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole tour engaging and enjoyable. The queues were longer than we expected, but overall everything was well organized. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Anjali as your guide!

We took our 3.5 yo grandson to the Aquarium. He really liked the Koi exhibit and touching the fish. He was not ready for the live shows and I did not realize there was a live mermaid show until later. I understand being in Paris it is in French, however English handouts would be nice as there are many visitors from all over there.

I thought I was going to have to let my husband go up in his own due to my knee injury but the lovely staff said no problem, you can use our lift!!! So chuffed as I'd already been gutted thinking I'd miss out on this amazing experience. 🥰🥰

Although the queue was long, the wait was very short. Quickly taken care of and efficiently controlled!
The climb is certainly sporty, but what a view as a reward! Just magical!

The evening visit was more convenient for us, as I also had children with me. The Louvre was a huge place and an incredibly beautiful building. There were so many really cool paintings and other art objects. Even the ceilings of the building were very artistic!

Despite skepticism as to whether I would get the tickets in time, everything worked out and the tickets were on my e-mail in the morning.
Catacombs mega impressive and Seine ride relaxing.
