This was an excellent tour that surpassed our expectations! Our guide, Milan , met us at our hotel with a bottle of champagne before we started off. We began at Galleries Lafayette and ended with a ferris wheel ride at a Christmas fair and carnival near the Louvre. And everything in-between! Paris was all lit up even more than usual because it was Christmas. Milan took us to all the highlights as well as off the beaten paths. Milan was very knowledgeable and informative and easy to understand and communicate with. And our tour lasted almost 2 hours longer than advertised! Milan was an excellent guide and we highly recommend this tour!

Well the crowds were overwhelming! So why that’s a negative it’s also a positive as everyone wants to be there ! Our guide Milan Melet was well knowledgeable and a ton of fun . I have been to Paris before so we shared our knowledge and he opened my eyes to some details I missed on past trips. If you want a memorable trip request Milan!

The most amazing nighttime tour that took us from the front windows of Printemps and Galerie Lafayette to the sky deck where we arrived just in time for the Eiffel Tower to light up. Milan, our guide , was knowledgeable and a congenital host to the city of lights. He had lived in the U.S. and his English is impeccable. When we expressed interest in Chanel and Dior. He took us an amazing journey to see their houses decorated in a unique and beautiful style! So many good pointers from Milan! A five star host!

Milan was a wonderful guide! My husband and son had never been to Paris before, and Milan managed to show them/us so many of the major sites and views in a short time. He also took family photos of us in front of various light displays. And he gave us helpful information on Normandy, which is where we are headed after Paris. Well worth the money!
