5.00We had Anne as a tour guide and she was amazingly funny, energetic, and full of information. She memorized all of our names on the tour and quickly got invested with making the tour exceptional for all involved. It was a packed day but every minute was fun and I felt engaged.
Outstanding Performance from our Guide

5.00The purchasing and scheduling of our Paris tour was extremely easy. Anna our guide was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive in ensuring everyone in our groupwas engaged. I noticed she was constantly checking on the needs of each individual in our group. The only downside was a 3 hour delay of the Eurostar. But, the experience could have been far worse if it was not for Anna keeping us informed in train status and masking us a priority in getting to our final destination.
Amazing in the face of unforeseen circumstances

5.00One word AMAZING. Anna was an exceptional tour guide. She was knowledgeable, entertaining and extremely safe and thorough, but what set her apart was how she advocated for our tour group when our train back to London was delayed by over 2 1/2 hours. She kept the group together, ensured we are made it through security and continually followed up. The Eurostar was a nightmare of an experience, but Anna and premium tours was exceptional! 10/10 recommend if you want to hit all the Paris highlights in one day trip
Disappointed

1.00There is no consideration for tourists when it’s 96 degrees (35 Celsius) outside. People were getting dizzy and nauseous. They especially don’t have consideration when they have disabled people on the tour. I would say 90 percent of the people on the tour were disappointed.
Paris in a Day

5.00A fabulous way to see Paris if short on time. The tour covers many great landmarks and the lunch at the Eiffel Towers Madame Brasserie was a definite highlight. This was optional, so you could either do the lunch or take that time as free to wander time. David our guide was very warm, funny and welcoming and a fountain of knowledge. Unfortunately it was a very hot day but this was out of our control. All in all it was a fabulous day, busy, hot but worth it. Thumbs up. Loved meeting new people from all over and really happy we did this tour. Thanks David. Enjoy a cold beer, you earned it!

5.00We had a wonderful one-day tour in Paris — everything was well organized, interesting, and full of great impressions. It was the perfect way to see and feel the beauty and atmosphere of the city in such a short time. A special thank you to our guide Anna 😊 She is amazing, very friendly, and has a fantastic sense of humor. Anna made the excursion easy, fun, and truly memorable with her engaging stories and positive energy. Thanks to her, our trip to Paris became even more special. Highly recommended ❤️
Anna is a fabulous guide!

If you was a quick trip

5.00Our bus driver did a great job. Navigating Paris roads driving a bus along the small streets. David, our tour guide, was fantastic! He gave us a lot of info. The 5 stars belong to them. This tour is fine if you just want a very quick trip. And if so, then this is 5 stars. I need more time, so next time I'll do a round trip via the train and stay a couple of days in Paris. I wasn't impressed with the food at the Eiffiel Tower, but the tower was a wonderful treat. Now for my part, I left my phone on airplane mode and didn't realize it wasn't registering real time. So, I was almost 15 mins late at the meet point. Another 5 stars for them NOT leaving me.
60th Birthday in Paris!!!

5.00I can’t begin to rave about this experience. I actually went to Paris with the tour group on my 60th birthday!!! It all began with a trip on the EuroStar through the Chunnel from London to Paris…David was our Tour Guide and Fabien was the Coach driver once we arrived in Paris…David shared a wealth of knowledge and insights about the city of Paris…Claude made sure to drive us pass every memorable sight that I could only imagine… but the best thing was having a 60th Birthday lunch at the Eiffel Tower at the Madame Brasserie restaurant… I received the surprise of my life when David arranged with the wait staff to serenade me with a chorus of “Happy Birthday”… a perfect end to the day was a cruise along the River Seine…a Birthday I will Never Forget!!!
