3.00train was excellent but info provided was confusing. Once we received our tickets and found our contact for our departure all was good until we landed in Paris. Directions provided to meet up with the hop on/off bus was confusing and impossible to follow (including directions to walk to a specific intersection 30 min away) We found help from a local Parisian and used metro to find closest bus stop
Wonderful time in Paris - beware the pedi-cab scammers!

5.00My daughters and I had a wonderful day exploring Paris! It was an early start on the train but easy to find and board. The instructions for bringing a passport were very clear and easy to follow. Upon arrival, we walked to meet the TOOT bus. I followed the instructions provided and found the TOOT bus easily. Luckily I had cell service (I used google maps). The TOOT bus route had been amended for the upcoming Olympics and went to all the main tourist spots which we enjoyed! We got off to see the Louvre and Eiffel Tower. I hadn't bought entry into the Louvre prior but I was able to get entry later in the day on the website. The Eiffel tower was adorned with the olympics logo which was very cool to see! We enjoyed a delicious lunch near the base of the tower and then went back to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa and amazing art inside! Wish we had longer to spend in the museum. Overall a very fun and interesting day. One bad note: DO NOT take the pedi-cabs unless you ask about the rate first. We took one back to the train due to the timing at the end of the day. The driver approached us and asked if we needed a taxi. I asked if he took a card, and he said yes so we 3 (adults) piled into the back of the pedi-cab. It took us 15 minutes to get to the Gare. He then said it would be $150 Euros and pointed to an ATM. He was a rather large man and I felt uncomfortable confronting him so I just go the money and paid him. I realize that we were definitely scammed and I hope no other foreigners fall for this. In hindsight I wish I had been more forceful in demanding a reasonable price but I guess that's a lesson learned for me. To end on a positive note, I would like to thank Maria Cioplea for all her help in making sure I had what I wanted for this tour. There were some errors in the advertisement that made me think we could upgrade to a higher train class, and that we were getting the metro and bus tickets. I was disappointed at first when we learned we could not upgrade and I was issued only the metro ticket. Maria was very patient and helpful in making sure we were able to get the bus tickets since that was my desire from the beginning. Unfortunately we did not have time for the river cruise- but overall a great day and memories we will not forget!
Disappointing

2.00Disappointing, the only thing we got was public transportation tickets. No river tour or bus tour, just left on our own to wander.
