5.00Very good overview of main sites of Paris. Bus tour plus river cruise plus a couple hours to explore on foot is a must if you only have a few hours to visit Paris

4.00No guide were with us on the bus from the cruise meetup to Paris, the driver can't speak English. A couple of planned items in Paris were cut off, the guide in Paris was really good, he seems have a lot of experiences, he gave details about place we went. Liked the water cruise, wish the guide can gather us together and use speaker to talk to us, we are sitting spread out, he did make effort to talk to us. The instruction for the meetup were not accurate at all, we walked quite bit to reach out the bus far more than we expected.

4.00Despite the busy Paris scene, the tour delivered everything that was promised and even surprised everyone with a goody bag. The operators were pleasant, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They waited for us when our ship was late docking and they ensured that everyone was back well before the ship’s departure.
Wonderful Trip
