Cruise was great. Dinner was OK

4.00River cruise was very nice. Got to see different parts of Paris and the guide provided many interesting facts. Dinner with Madame Brasserie Restaurant was more 3 stars. Given 3 main entree’s that truth be told were not all that appealing. I guess you are paying to eat on the biggest draw in Paris.
Poor communication

3.00We’ve used Viator many times, but unfortunately this was by far our worst experience. The instructions for meeting our guide were very poor. We were told to look for someone in a green hat waving a flag, but the “flag” turned out to be just a card and the hat was not green, but a faded pastel color. Because of the confusion, we lost valuable time and had only a limited opportunity to tour the base of the Eiffel Tower. On the positive side, our guide was very pleasant, and the dinner cruise afterward was quite enjoyable.
Bad bad service

Beware

1.00The boat and lunch were lovely, however we waited an hour for our guide who never showed. Not so coincidentally, we were given tickets earlier in the morning on the “off chance” we couldn’t meet up. Very shady. After calling the vendor Tour Meets World and getting connected, the woman assured me she would give our guide my phone number since “he was there waiting” in the exact spot we were. Should come as no surprise, but we never received the phone call from our guide. We made the decision to leave our meet up spot and go directly to the river cruise. Although everyone was cold & cranky, the boat was very nice. Be wary of this company!
Great way to start our Paris Trip!!
