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.

Excellent value. Lots of sights and plenty of time. Great tour guide Amir. 3 hr drive each way from cruise ship to Paris. No tour guide or narrator for the trip to and from Paris makes for a long ride. Bus is a little cramped. Not enough leg room.
Wonderful Paris tour

Wonderful tour. Met our guide Amir in Paris after approx 3 hr bus ride with one rest stop. Then about 3-3.5 hours in Paris on a spectacular weather day! Our Seine cruise was a highlight as well as time at the Eiffel Tower and Champ Elysee for 1 hour where we got pastries at a place suggested by Amir. Our driver was also skilled in navigating very tricky Paris streets. Highly recommend this tour from our cruise ship

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.
