Paris' Pere LaChaise Gravestone Walking Tour
Paris, France
My Rating

This was one of the most interesting and well presented tours we took while in Paris. Our guide, Alfredo, was very knowledgable. He was enthusiastic but respectful and it was apparent that he loves showing and talking about the famous people who reside in LaChaise. Don't miss this tour!

Auvers sur Oise and Giverny Small Group Day Trip from Paris
Paris, France
My Rating

This is a long full day tour. Monet's gardens were by far the best part. All the flowers were in full bloom - it was an incredible sight despite the crowds of people. Auvers sur Oise was ok. Being a van Gogh admirer, we had to see where he spent his last 3 months. Lunch was marginal. One of our companions had an allergic reaction to the entree. The restaurant staff and our guide argued over whose fault it was - an unpleasant scene. Our guide should be avoided if possible. It was obvious to all of us that he dislikes his job; was distainful of his clients by being abrupt and sarcastic; we learned very quickly not to ask questions as we were usually ignored. He did give several speeches on what we were about to see and seemed relatively knowledgable about the subject. At Giverny he couldn't get rid of us fast enough. While taking his jacket off, he accidently hit one of us in the face - no apology given. He neglected to tell us the lunch menu, hence the allergic reaction. He was late in picking us up in the morning blaming traffic. One wonders why he didn't know about the nightmarish traffic Paris endures and plan accordingly? Once out of Paris, his driving speed was erratic. On the drive thru afternoon rush hour traffic, he began swearing at other drivers. We all immediately went silent for the remainder of the ride! This is only tour we ever taken where we did not tip the guide. Bottom line: Take the tour, don't expect a good meal and avoid Chris unless you enjoy being uncomfortable.

Ghosts, Mysteries and Legends Night Walking Tour of Paris
Paris, France
My Rating

Not too much ghostly, but very captivating. Benoit gave us information and stories about Paris that aren't in guide books and we'd have never known. It was very interesting and we highly recommend it.

Skip the Line: Paris Louvre Museum Guided Tour
Paris, France
My Rating

If there is an easy way to get into the Louvre, this is it. We skipped most of the lengthy line. Afterwards we had the run of the place - if such a thing can happen amongst the throngs of people! Anne our guide was extremely knowledgable and presented her information in a fun, friendly manner. We highly recommend doing this tour not only for the information but for the easy access to get in the place!
