Amazing time!

5.00Had an absolute blast going to Paris for the day! It was definitely worth the trip. If you're in London and have a day to spare I would highly recommend taking the trip. David was such a great guide. He told us where to go, and where to be and was full of knowledge when we got to Paris.
Outstanding in London

5.00Anna was an exceptional tour guide. We have traveled to other places and used other tour companies, and she was absolutely remarkable. She was informative, very personable, and made the experience overall so memorable.

2.00The advertisement said we would eat at a Michelin starred Restaraunt at the Eiffel Tower. While there was one there, we were taken to a different Restaraunt and the food was not that great. Given the price of the ticket it's hard to see what we paid for without the higher end dining experience.
Great value day in Paris

5.00This is a great value day out in Paris! It's a great way to see a lot in a day! Book a different or longer trip if you plan to do a museum. The river cruise was such a great way to see a lot, especially for those seeing Paris for the first time. I really enjoyed going up the Eiffel tower (just to the first floor restaurant, but really an amazing view). The lunch was good value, considering everything like the cost of entering the Eiffel tower was included, however I felt the restaurant could have served us with a little more care (table wasn't clean when we sat down and interactions felt a bit rushed compared to how they served people who hadn't booked the set menu). I was also disappointed that we sat in seats with the least appealing view, felt intentional as we were the set menu group. The food there was ok, I liked the dessert and mash with the main was nice. And drink to start, wine and soft drink was included in the set menu, which I thought was good. Anna was a great guide, with great knowledge of Paris that she shared with humour and charisma! She calmly and skillfully kept us all on time and was just really nice and easy to talk to. Having the guide and all the included activities, plus ample free time for a little shopping and exploring really made this well worth it! I do recommend it, but if you're a foody, maybe opt out of lunch. Great driver on the coach too, he was safe and drove expertly through a lot of tight spaces! Thanks for a great day!
Good tour

3.00Be prepared for long waits in line, horrendous traffic issues and congestion everywhere. Fortunately our tour guide, Anna, was a real pro and compensated for that frustration. Bus CC’d tour a tremendous bore, river cruise not worth it, Eiffel Tower experience and lunch excellent.
