Super nice guides but bus was dirty and outdated. Super nice guides did not make it totally clear that a restroom stop in the station would delay the trip . Perhaps they infrormed most of us, but one couple missed the instructions and delayed us One family had a restroom emergency at the base of the tower which delayed everyone at lunch. Perhaps in the future they could have most of the group start eating on the delayed family simply would just need to catch up. They delayed everyone because of the late family, which was very awkward

Loved the trip. Would not do lunch and the Eiffel Tower, took too much time out for exploring. Would have been nice for the bus to drive past a few more sites.
Super efficient day trip to Paris

What a lovely whirlwind day exploring the highlands of this beautiful city. Anna was so exceptional at her job! She was fun, funny, knowledgeable and very good at checking that nobody was left behind. The coach is super comfortable and you stop close to everywhere you need to be. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is short on time and only have one day to get a feel of Paris. There is enough time at certain stops for a quick shop and to do your own thing. Really great trip and I really enjoyed the day with Anna who made it super special.
Great day trip to Paris!

Anna was an amazing tour guide full of knowledge and humor! Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was delicious. We did have some issues with finding the person at the beginning meet up spot to get our tickets as she was not clearly visible but the rest was amazing

Fantastic one-day tour of Paris via Eurostar from London, which tickets for those were included. It was an early day in London with a departure time of 7:00am, and then immediately into a private bus for part one of the bus tour upon arrival. Then it was a stop at the Eiffel Tower for an optional lunch, and then back onto the bus for part two of the city tour. The last portion of the day was spent at the Louvre museum, which required a separate admission which we passed on just so we could walk around the property outside, which there is much to see! The day ended at the station for an 8:00pm departure back to London. It was a long day, but worth it if you just want to get your feet wet in France, so to speak. Our tour guide and host was Anna, and she was very engaging and funny. She was able to answer all of our questions about the city, and then some.

Anne did a great job as guide for our trip. She was with our group at the beginning and had our tickets ready for Euro star train. She gave good commentary while on the bus.
