Great time visiting Paris

4.00We had a great time visiting Paris on this one day excursion from London. Our guide, Anna, was fantastic and made sure we knew where to be and when. We really enjoyed the river ride on the Seine River and the trip up the Eiffel Tower. However, we purchased the lunch in the tower as part of the package and would not do so again. I rarely dislike food, but this was really bad. Starter was cold beef block that was worse than Spam, main entree was supposedly chicken, but it was more like fat with a little chicken, and eclair dessert tasted like it was store bought. Save your money and just purchase a ticket to get in the Eiffel Tower. Overall, though the trip was great!
Amazing Trip with Anna in PARIS!

5.00This was one of the best tours I've been one by far. Had it as a surprise for me wife while in London and she was sooooo happy. Hop a train with the amazing Anna and guided us through everything with an wonderful funny tour of Paris, boat tour, then lunch IN the Effeil tower, free time and train ride back. I would recommend for all that want high level service and a unforgettable experience.

5.00Having a tour guide was the way to go! Anna, was amazing! She was knowledgeable, prompt, engaging, humorous, a delight all around! She went above and beyond in helping a family member with a situation that could have been a ruining end to a wonderful experience. I would recommend this tour. It was a long, full day…but afterwards, I slept better than I had in some time. :)

5.00The full day in Paris a great way to see the highlights of the city in 1 full day. It includes everything and centers primarily on the Eiffel Tower which was so impressive. DEFINITELY choose the lunch option if available. It was fantastic. Ana was a terrific guide. Had a few hours of free time towards the end of the day. Absolutely a 10 out of 10!!
Amazing 🤩

5.00Yesterday, for the first time, I traveled to Paris. We went with Premium Tours, and it was definitely one of the most amazing and complete experiences I've ever had traveling with a group and meeting different people. Anna, the person who guided us during this trip, provided an excellent experience. Her customer service was superb, and she was so much fun! If I had the chance, I would absolutely travel with her again. I highly recommend this company and highly recommend Anna as a tour guide.
Highly recommend!

5.00Everything was top notch. Anna is an expert in organizing everyone, keeping the mood light, and making sure everyone is happy. We had a small crisis on the return trip regarding the train, and she handled it with aplomb. Would recommend!
I would recommend Anna to anyone!!

5.00Anna has us covered from the start with all aspects of the tour. When the train system failed on our way back to London, Anna was a champion in getting us new train travel so we were able to get back. We loved her and would use her again.
Exceptional tour experience with an outstanding guide

5.00We had an outstanding experience with our Paris tour guide. Anna was absolutely exceptional & knowledgeable! From the moment we started, she brought the city’s history, culture, and hidden stories to life. Truly a caring guide — thoughtful, patient, and always checking in on our big group of 13 including kids. Incredibly caring, calm and reassuring that we would not be left behind despite a train delay followed by a missed train issue. Thank you for going above & beyond, Anna. Greatly appreciate!
Amazing Experience with Anna

Great Guide! Lousy River Cruise

- Review from Viator
4.00The tour was fantastic (especially our guide, Anna)! She had lots of humor mixed with fun facts. It was my wife’s birthday, and Anna arranged for a special dessert at the Eiffel Tower luncheon that made her day feel super. Our only disappointment was with the Seine river cruise. There was no audio available, so we expected a live person to point out what we were seeing. That didn’t happen, therefore, we got virtually nothing out of that activity and still wonder how much better the entire experience would have been with a better river cruise provider.
