3.00My primary compliant is with the train schedule.. To maximize your enjoyment in Paris more time is needed. My schedule departure was for 7.00 AM, I was in the train station at 5.00 Am. I was told ito switch my 7.00 AM train to a 6.00 AM Train was not possible. That extra 1-hour could of help us with additional activities i wanted to do. Other than this one inconvenience, I have no complaints. .
Get tour guide, Anna, one of the best we had on vacation! Get experience!

5.00Anna our tour guide was awesome! Took the train from London and saw amazing sights in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was incredible and the lunch there was great, the cruise was great seeing the scenery around Paris. Anna kept us informed and was great. She made sure we were kept together and what we were doing and going. Highly recommend this to anyone.

5.00First time going to Paris and booking through Viator. Tickets, info and pass for Big Bus tour were e-mailed in good time. Instructions were clear and well presented. Really good trip for a day, and easy to get to big Bus stop via metro. This doesn't give you a metro card for underground so make sure you look on utube for Les Frenchies to see which underground ticket you may need.
Fantastic Day Trip to Paris

5.00We arrived at meeting point our lovely guide Angela was waiting she was super informative and told us the plan for the day. Arriving in Paris she gave us an amazing tour with lots of information about all the sites we saw. She was fabulous and the driver of the coach was very skilled in navigating the narrow streets of Paris. We also had the river cruise which also was a lovely way to also see the sites of Paris l highly recommend this tour if you have limited time this is the tour to book. Everything was highly organised
Great Experience

5.00We wanted an day trip to Paris and hoped it would be worth it, and it certainly was. Our guide, Richard, was amazing! He kept us on schedule, but it didn't feel forced. He guided the trip, without it feeling overly guided, which is our favorite type of excersion. He was very knowledgeable with Paris itself, which you expect, but he also made sure people knew how to be safe. We would highly recommend Evenevans tours and especially Richard as you guide!
Totally Unreliable

1.00I have booked booked a Paris Day trip twice twice this year. The first was with Viator and the next via GetYourGuide. Both were operated by Evan Evan Tours which I was not aware of at the time. I had been warned prior that they were totally unreliable and I should not bank on my trip going ahead. Needless to say both trips were subsequently cancelled. I will not be booking any Day trips to Paris or any other trips via Evan Evan tours. S Williams
