Excellent Experience in Paris
S343BCericab,Jun 2, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Amir the guide in Paris was awesome! He had our tickets already for the river so there was no waiting around. He added commentary, facts, and history all relevant to the sites and assisted others to get on our bus so they wouldn’t be stranded. His message at the Eiffel Tower was what should be represented to all people. Our guide on the bus was also very helpful and welcoming. The whole process was perfect right from the pick up at the port. A1 excursion for a fraction of the price that the cruise line charged.
