Flawless Paris experience for our group of 11 — Fadi & Maya are rockstars

5.00Our group of 11 had an exceptional Paris layover-tour thanks to guide Fadi and event coordinator Maya with Viator. Maya handled the logistics with clear communication before and during the trip, quick answers, and intelligent scheduling that kept us ahead of crowds. Every transfer and timing detail was locked in, saving us time so we could enjoy more of Paris. Fadi was outstanding on the ground. He's deeply knowledgeable without lecturing, keeps the pace right for all ages, and adjusts on the fly when we need breaks. He navigated the Louvre and Eiffel Tower efficiently, pointed out details we'd never have noticed, and shared practical context, not trivia. He also knew the best photo spots, a couple of low-key cafés, and fantastic shopping that hit the mark—good food, excellent brand accessibility with no tourist-trap pricing. What stood out: • Organization: Zero chaos. Bus ready for airport pickup, meeting points clear, timing tight but never rushed. • Flexibility: Customized around our group's size, energy, and interests. • Communication: Proactive updates, WhatsApp check-ins, and clear day plans. • Value: We maximized our time —worth every cent. • Commitment: At the end of our tour one of the group commented that "It felt less like a tour and more like family showing us around."
Alain was wonderful as was Paris!

5.00The experience itself and our driver were fantastic. The challenge for us was finding the pick up point but that was not the driver’s fault. The airport was confusing and because we had a handicapped mother who had to exit from a different area, no one helped us get reunited with her and it was a mess. It delayed us by 45 minutes. Nevertheless, our driver was patient and friendly. We enjoyed the tour despite the rain. He was very accommodating and pleasant. Thank you very much!
Awesome tour in France!

5.00This tour was excellent! Our tour guide Alain was at the airport on time. Very professional, courteous and friendly! He took us to the major sightseeing places telling us of the history of the specific place. We ended the tour at”Montmartre” which is a must see! There we were able to do a little shopping at very reasonable prices. Alain got us back to the airport on time to catch our flight. I highly recommended this tour!

5.00Fadi was top notch! He was personable, knowledgeable, spoke perfect English and flexible. We added on the extra hour due to short photo shoot. Fadi can actually be a photographer too; he has a natural eye and won’t hesitate to take pictures for you. He took us to our favorite sites, including a coffee shop that was on our must-do list. He gave us historical information as we zipped around town. Safety was a priority and his car was comfortable. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.
Fantastic tour with Fadi

5.00We had such a great time on this tour with Fadi! He was professional, friendly, and so knowledgeable, sharing insights that made every stop more interesting. He also knew some of the very best locations to visit and was amazing at pointing out the perfect spots for photos (and taking them for us too!). We really appreciated how flexible he was and how he adjusted the itinerary to match what we were most excited about. Fadi made the whole experience fun and stress-free. We would absolutely recommend him!
We feel cheated

1.00First of all, the price quoted had us doing 8 stops and we were OK with it. They waited till we landed in Paris to tell us that Tour de France was happening that day and we could only do 3 stops. Imagine our frustration that we paid 807 dollars and only had 3 stops. We complained to Viator and they didn't refund part of our money back. We will never recommend this company to anyone. Just do your own touring, it would have been cheaper with taxis. I am so upset that we flew in for the day and only went to 3 sites for 807 dollars. Horrible company and horrible experience
