Great trip. We were well looked after by all the Kiwis who delt with us during the day, from the pick-up bus drivers to the boat crew. Dramatic landscapes and very interesting commentaries. The Kiwis are certainly an hospitable crew. Highy recommend the tour.

A potted history of France delivered by a Canadian. However it worked out well. We started at 'Hotel des Invalides' then walked across Le Seine to Place de la Concorde and finished outside Le Louvre. OUr Canadian guide, Scott, was very entertaining and informative.

My Review

We highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Marion, was knowledgeable and made our foodie tour really interesting. We covered aspects of French history and gastronomy while walking through the Saint Germaine area (Latin Quartier). Finally gathering together all our purchases to make a picnic with a bottle of French wine from a nearby store. Thankyou, Marion, for a lovely morning.

Visisted many of the attractions on the card and made use of the tram ticket . Some of the attractions we wanted to see were not open on the days we had left to see them so check this before planning your schedule.

Milan Half-Day Sightseeing Tour with da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'

My Review
Well worth doing this excursion. You need to ask at the travel agents near the meeting spot to be told where the bus is situated. The guide had her work cut out speaking in English & then Spanish. Very limited viewing of La Scala Opera House as there was a rehearsal going on at the time.
