Great quick one day tour of Paris from the cruise ship. They picked us up from the cruise terminal The driver was amazing. Drove the big bus so smoothly. Great driver. Tour guide joined us when we arrived to Paris. He was very knowledgeable (Maartin) We saw everything we wanted to see touring the city from the river boat tour. Also apart of this tour. We got off the bus for photos of the Ethiel tower and walking around the arc de triumph for shopping. The tour arrived back to the ship with a hour to spare. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend this day trip to Paris.

Great tour. Our guide was Maarten and he was great (10/10). Only complaint was not much free time on your own to shop or eat. Only had 1 hour so you only had time to either go to a restaurant OR to shop some souvenirs and get some quick takeout food.

I can not say enough of what a wonderful experience it was to visit a major European city in the history of the world. Not only in government, but society, art, music and architecture. It must be experienced.
