Aboard · MUSEUMS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 7 museum visits worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you step aboard.
Meet an English-speaking host at Benlux on Rue de Rivoli for timed Louvre entry, then explore the museum independently with a digital audio guide. Later, take a one-hour Seine cruise past the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Musée d’Orsay, and more. The cruise and Louvre visit are self-guided.
“The museum has many great collections. It was an amazing experience.”
Start at the Van Gogh Museum for a timed visit through the artist’s life and work, then use your open ticket for a 75-minute Blue Boat canal cruise. Audio commentary comes in 21 languages, and the covered boat works well in changeable weather. Snack boxes are available with selected options.
“Loved the museum I wasn’t met at my meet pint so made my own way to location”
Visit the Van Gogh Museum at a reserved entry time, then cruise Amsterdam’s historic canals for one hour with multilingual audio commentary. See Sunflowers, Almond Blossoms, Westerkerk, the Negen Straatjes, and Magere Brug. Reserve your cruise time at a Tours & Tickets shop.
“Everything was good. The audio tool could probably guide the listener with left/right directions.”
Board a quiet solar-powered catamaran at Jannowitzbrücke for a two-hour Spree cruise. You’ll see the East Side Gallery from the water, pass Oberbaumbrücke, spot Kater Blau, and continue toward Treptow Park and Insel der Jugend. German commentary and an English audio guide are included.
“Great trip. Will do it again. Friendly team on board”
Travel from Hurghada to Cairo for the Egyptian Museum, a 30-minute Nile boat ride, lunch, and a guided visit to the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, and Valley Temple. Guides such as Ragab, Noura, Mostafa Salah, and Gamil Hassan are assigned according to availability. Private groups and language add-ons are offered.
“We had a lovely time with Noura. Smooth transportation, amazing time at the pyramids, museum and tour. Noura was completely accommodating to our needs and timing and made the trip great. Lunch was also lovely. Highly recommend.”
Visit Grévin Wax Museum to pose with more than 200 lifelike figures, then take a Bateaux Parisiens cruise past the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Les Invalides, and Notre-Dame. Your one-day ticket includes multilingual boat commentary, but peak-season waits can be long.
“Musée grevin jolie mais pas ouf et je n’ai pas su faire la Seine avec l’attente du musée grevin etc. Et je n’ai pas pu être remboursé.”
Visit the Musée Picasso in Paris with a flexible admission ticket and see paintings, sculptures, prints, notebooks, photographs, and more in a grand 17th-century townhouse. Add a one-hour Seine cruise for views of the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre-Dame, and Paris bridges.
Pick a river, a coast or a harbour.
