5.00I 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.
Paris Day Trip

5.00I was skeptical at first if I want to book this tour. This is the last port (in Le Havre) before we disembark the next day. Been to Le Havre before and I am looking the best way to kill the time other than staying on the ship, and try to use up the drink package and get wasted. Been to Paris and stayed for couple of days before. Is it worth the money to stay on a bus for 6 hours total (round trip) and spend couple of hours in Paris and to see places that I have already visited before. I am glad, I did. On the last minute, I decided to book this tour. After I booked, my booking was Pending until the tour operator confirms availability. I got so anxious because the office was already closed and had to wait till the next day. The tour starts at 7:30 AM. At 7:00AM, my booking still Pending. We decided to get ready and took chances and see the operator at the designated meeting place. On the way to the tour meeting place, I tried to call again the tour company and finally, I spoke to one of the representatives. To make a long story short, we were able to join the tour. In Paris, we were met by our tour guide Amir. Amir introduced himself and he is originally from Iran. He is very energetic, great communicator and a good “story teller”. Instead of mentioning dates, names, etc, he tried to paint a picture and tell stories starting from the Eiffel Tower. That tour could have been boring but he made it interesting, dramatic and even engaging. It was one of the best organized tour I’ve ever had. It is worth the money and time. Kudos to you Amir! And yes, It was Amir’s birthday and we all sang Happy Birthday in front of the Eiffel Tower.

5.00Our guide Amir was great he was very good explained things regarding the area very personable And were good spots to see and were good places to eat . The only thing I thought is the driver from port to Paris spoke no English so communication was not good
