Doing what: Paris City Tour with Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower Lunch
The Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower Lunch were great but the Paris City Tour was not what we expected.

Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
Learned so much about Paris on the City Tour, thoroughly enjoyed all the sights. The Seine River Cruise was beautiful and the guide very informative, very relaxing. Now the best part, of course, is seeing the famuous Eiffel Tower and not standing in line to get in. We stood in line for a short then went to the 2nd floor, was great. Got really great pictures from the 2nd floor and then went to the top which was really incredible. Would recommend this 3 tours to see Paris and then decide what you want to go back and see again.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise, Paris Illuminations and Dinner on the Champs-Elysees
We thoroughly enjoyed the Seine river cruise Paris tour and dinner on the Champs-Elysees. The river cruise was delightful it was a lovely summers evening you couldn't beat it. The city tour was good but got better as the evening drew in and the sights were lit up stunning is the word that comes to mind. The meal was brilliant plenty to eat and drink. The only thing was that we were left after having our meal to find our own way back to our hotel . It would be advisable to mention this to your customers so they are fully informed.

Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
A good way to get an overview of the city and see areas we couldn't explore during our stay in Paris. It was a cold and wet day, very windy on the Eiffel tower, but bypassing the queue was again worth the expense of pre-paying. We ran out time to take the Seine River Cruise, the weather just wasn't good and our accommodation was too far from the departure point to get there easily.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise, Paris Illuminations and Dinner on the Champs-Elysees
This was a great tour! The Seine River Cruise was beautiful although the boat was a bit crowded and the seats were little. The Paris Illuminations tour was great and our driver was awesome! Paris is so wonderful to see at night. The dinner was very good and the atmosphere was cozy. The restaurant staff were all friendly.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
this was a great combo tour, the meal on the first floor of the Eiffle Tower was top quality and the views spectacular of Paris amazing at night. the Seine River tour gave a different perspective in the evening of paris in lights. i was however angry/disappointed with the tour operator when i accidently left my good fur hat on the river boat, he could not care less or didnt have a phone number i could call to contact the river cruise operators, i was told i would have to contact them in the morning it was all too hard -pretty poor customer service - of course the next day when i finally did contact the river boat companythrough nothing had been handed in -
the moulin Rouge show was spectacular and worth the wait - the bus dropped us off in the street whereby we had to queue in the cold for aboutn 45minutes- once seated the show was spectacular and amazing worth seeing.
the night ended for me at 2:30am - so be prepared for a late night but a great combination of events. good value but make sure you dont leave anything behind!!!

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
Perfect the dinner in Eiffel Tower (B 58) with the nice view of Paris. The sunset in the Seine river cruise was wonderful. But the Moulin Rouge was not we expected. It was a regular show and the best parts was the circus show. And another problem... we had the worst places because the production destined these for the tourists who booked at the local tourism operators.

Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
The tour of the city was very good although I was surprised that it did not include the Sacre Coeur surely one of the most beautiful buildings in Paris. The Eiffel Tower and Seine river cruise were marred by bad weather but on a good day would have been brilliant. Thanks to all concerned for a really good day.

Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
Tour very good. Only problem is knowing that you have to go to the counter of the provider to exchange your voucher for a ticket. Only two operators on, small office and long queue.
Tour around Paris very good. Visit to the Eiffel Tower excellent - our guide took us to a very small line and we were going up the town in a very short period of time.
Cruise on the Seine River very interesting and relaxing.
Note from Viator: Thanks for your honest feedback. We’ve contacted our local supplier and are following up to ensure this does not happen again.

Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
For anyone, like my wife and I, who were spending a four day visit to Paris and want to see as much as possible, this three-part tour was excellent in so many ways and is a 'must'.
First it was the ease of booking it before we left the UK, therefore avoiding wasting time, and possible disappointment, if we had booked it when in Paris. Second, it was great to just have 6 of us for the minibus City Tour and then be on our own for the other two parts although well instructed and guided as to what and where to go by the Viator personnel.
The whole trip lasted 5 hours and took in all the major sites of the city. The City tour was extremely interesting and our guide-cum-driver stopped at many locations and told us a lot about the landmaks of Paris and was very happy to answer any questions we had for her. The mini bus was very comfortable and the guide spoke through a headset so all was clear to hear.
We were met at the Eiffel Tower by another Viator guide who already had our tickets and whilst taking us to the Tower she explained about the boat trip and where to embark. which is near the Tower As we had pre-booked tickets we were soon up on the second landing of the Tower taking in the amazing views avoiding the queues below. We could stay as long as we liked.
Lastly we had an interesting hour long cruise on the Seine in a spacious glassed in pleasure boat.
I would thoroughly recommend this trip for value for money and interest and enabling a visitor to cover many of the best landmarks all in one trip.

Doing what: Seine River Cruise, Paris Illuminations and Dinner on the Champs-Elysees
The tour was very nice but make sure you only do the Paris Illuminations and Seine River Cruise once as it becomes hard going if more than once- the dinner was lovely but we had to find our own way back to the hotel and it was after 1pm but I still recommend it

Doing what: Versailles, Paris City Tour and Seine River Cruise Day Trip
Really enjoyed the morning Palace of Versailles tour. The tour guide was very informative and spoke several languages. And it was very beautiful. One girl at the office was very unfriendly and could not be bothered with our questions. The lunch was really good, but there was only 3 of us eating, so it was strange to have a large area reserved for just us. The afternoon Paris City Tour was too fast. A lot of my pictures didn't turn out or got cut off. It snowed when we were on the Eiffel Tower, which was cool. The Seine River Cruise was very nice too. The employee on the boat knew several languages, which is very helpful. Bravo for those people because it really makes a difference. This all day tour felt like several small separate tours put together in one day. We were handed our tickets to the Eiffel Tower and river cruise and left to our own devices. Some may or may not like this way of touring.

Doing what: Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge Show and Seine River Cruise
The whole evening was organised perfectly - directions to find Paris Visions were very good, with nice coaches, great seats at the Eiffel Tower, and the food was good too. The Seine river cruise at night is incredible and a great way to see Paris. Moulin Rough is certainly a show, our seats were not the best, so make sure you get at the front of your bus group and then you will be fine! All round, I know it is not cheap, but it is certainly one of the most memorable parts of our Paris trip!

Doing what: Paris Seine River Dinner Cruise
This was a really special experience despite a few niggles along the way. To get the irritations out of the way first. The coach doesn't leave from the address you are told to go to. Why, I don't know. Our trip was on a Saturday and the Paris rush hour traffic was horrific. Having thought we had nearly missed the coach by arriving just on 7pm, we then had a 100m dash around the corner to where the coach departs. Also, the coach drops off at different venues, the Seine cruise was the last drop off so we had an hour and a half on the coach driving around Paris whilst others alighted at The Lido. After 3 laps of the Champs-Élysées you get a little bored. We could have gone straight to the boat at 8.30pm and saved ourselves a big rush and an hour and a half on the coach.
However, let me say that the boat was impressive and the dinner truly excellent. Great service and good entertainment. The coach drops off back at hotels, which is a great benefit late at night. On the night of our trip the boat had to stay moored due to the height of the river, however, this didn't distract from the experience at all and we received a free pass to take a Seine boat tour on another occasion. Many thanks for a memorable evening.
Note from Viator: Thanks for your comment. While we never like to hear about customers having substandard experiences, your feedback helps us to ensure our local suppliers provide a quality experience. We'd like to advise that our Paris departure point has been renovated over the Christmas holidays. We temporary set up an alternatively departure location 200 meters away.

Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
Great value for money. We really enjoyed our city tour and Seine river cruise. Unfortunately the Eiffel Tower was closed due to snow but we did get our money back for that. Please note that you are not taken back to where you start your tour, you will be left near the Tower. Would recommend it if you are in Paris for the first time and want to see the sites
