Just a taste of Paris

3.00One day is not enough time to get a good taste of Paris but it is the time we had to give it. We lost an hour of our precious time as the train was running late going there. There was a technical problem. Our bus driver did his best to drive by the major sites but we didn’t get very close to many. The Eiffel Tower was very impressive and we enjoyed the Seine river cruise. We opted to get lunch at a local cafe and found some delicious macarons. Anna our guide did a good job of getting us where we needed to be and giving instructions and explanations. Between the time limitations and the high heat the day wasn’t everything we had hoped for. But we are glad we did it.
Not as advertised.

3.00I love the part that I was able to go and see Paris last minute but was not satisfied. I felt that trip was really short to explore or feel the Paris. May be they should charge a bit more and make it overnight tour. River boat cruise is frustrating. Audio will not work and you will have no clue what you are looking at. I had better experience at hop on and off tour. I was thrilled to dine in that Michelin Restaurant. Worst experience if you are vegetarian. Listing says that you will get Risoto but we got uncooked pasta. First course was boiled egg with Mayo. Not sure how it is vegetarian. Dessert was one for all. Our guide was amazing. No complains there. He was sweet guy.
Memorable Day Trip to Paris!

5.00It was a very good experience, primarily because of an outstanding guide in Anna. She paced the session very well, and when the bus could not park near the Louvre Museum (as per original plan), she tool us to the Nortre Dame, which was a bonus to me. There was a delay of 90 minutes of our scheduled train back to London, but Anna managed to get all of us on the previous train (that was leaving at our scheduled time due to a delay). We reached back in London without delay. I rate Anna highly for her professionalism and dedication to service. The Eifel Tower visit and lunch was very well organised and an experience to remember.
Well worth it!

5.00It is a long day that is so worth it! Great for first timers who don’t want to worry about planning or knowing how and where to go. The tour takes care of it all! Definitely upgrade to the Eiffel Tower lunch or you will not get to go up and see the view, plus the food was great. You will have some free time but not enough if you want to see museums. More just shopping and walking around. If you want more free time you should not do the lunch. Our tour guide Anna was great!

5.00We had a great time with Anna from Premium Tours. Funny and full of facts and knowledge about Paris on the tour. Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was delicious and we didn't want to leave but the following boat tour was well worth it. Great time and a full day.
