Outstanding Tour!

5.00This is one of the best tours we have ever taken. Antoine was an exceptional guide. He was organized, charismatic, outgoing, extremely knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, provided us with rich historical context along our journey, answered all questions, and exceeded all expectations. From meeting points to metro rides and everything in between, it was a seamless and fun experience for the group under Antoine’s leadership. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in covering lots of ground in one day to get a feeling for where they’d like to visit again during their stay or for anyone with limited time in Paris. The tour is exactly as described so be sure to read the full description and itinerary. Lots of walking and beautiful sites and stops, but very well balanced with breaks. A Seine River cruise ticket is included to use at your leisure, after the tour. The ticket is valid for one year. We chose to use ours the same evening as the tour, during sunset. It was an outstanding day!
Perfect intro to the city of love….

5.00Our guide, Elise, was fantastic… she was upbeat & very good at sharing just the right amount of info. We took 19,000+ steps & climbed 25 flights of stairs according to my iphone so it was also an excellent workout. Wear good sneakers!
Great way to get your steps in

5.00Our tour guide was Emilie. She was very knowledgeable. And you can see she enjoys what she does. Makes the day pleasant. This was a WALKING TOUR. A great way to get your steps in & enjoy the sights. The Louvre is huge, to see every paintings takes days. Having her guide you to the “must see” & explain what you’re looking at was very helpful. The tour ends at the Eiffel Tower. This tour does not include tickets to go up the tower. If you want to go up we were told to book it in advance. But this tour does include a cruise on the Siene River where you can go at any time. A good way to chill & end the day after all that walk. It would be a great idea to ride it around 7 PM so it’s not too hot.
Great Tour
