I agree with Mary. Vedettes du Pont Neuf uses smaller boats and has live commentary.

Took the Vendettes Seine cruise recently. No slippery steps trying to get onto the boat, smaller numbers and the guide gave an excellent commentary. Highly recommend

Vedettes de Paris, at the Eiffel Tower. Small boats, electric powered engines, live speaker in English and French, not a recording in five languages.

I only heard about 10% of what the Vedettes guide had to say. My hearing is less than great, but not that bad. Combination of general background noise (the smallest part), nearby passengers speaking loudly and poor sound system - at least on the upper, outdoor deck.

Did not have these problems on the Saone cruise in Lyon a few days earlier.

Nice enough cruise with Vedettes on the Seine, though after the experience I’d say my preference is to walk along the sidewalks or quais along the riverfront. Take in the street vendors and street life. Pretty much the same views.

Note that there are several companies with "Vedettes" in their name.

Mary and I were recommending Vedettes du Pont Neuf. They are located near the Pont Neuf at Square du Vert Galant on the Ile de la Cite.
