What To Expect
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was built by French engineer Gustave Eiffel, for the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. This magnificent technical feat was achieved in a mere two years, two months and five days. It stands 324 metres tall, and the metal structure weighs 7,300 tonnes. Parisians were scandalised by its metallic look and height. It was built to last 20 years. A radio antenna was added to the top in 1903, saving the tower from demolition. It has now become the monument symbolic of Paris.
The American Church in Paris
The American Church in Paris with its green clock-tower was the first American Church built outside the US, in 1931. The stained-glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany have been listed as a historic monument.

Crystal -best tour guide

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Crystal at Notre Dame. She was knowledgeable, expressive and had a gentle calming attitude. It took us awhile to figure out the meeting place was across the street from the cathedral but that was the only hiccup in an otherwise great experience.
Excellent, informative, smooth Seine cruise

5.00An excellent 1 hour round trip from the Eiffel Tower to the end of the Ile de la Cite. Excellent guide giving lots of information in French + English. 100% electric boat so smooth and quiet. WC (but only one) on board. Embarkation was trouble-free and the boat kept to schedule (it was not over-busy). Highly recommended.

5.00Get there early enough to get a seat on the 2nd floor of the boat, other wise you’ll have to stand to see the views. If you miss a view don’t worry as you’ll circle back to see it again

5.00Guide kept my 11-year old’s attention and did a good job of narrating in two languages (French and English). Boat was comfortable and not overcrowded (probably due to the cold weather).

5.00We missed our reservation. They informed us that our tickets are good for 30 days which was very accommodating. Also, our adult son has a disability so they priority queued our group of 5 people ahead of those already in line.
