The Small-Group Gourmet Christmas Tour of Paris exceeded any expectation that we might have had. Our tour guide, Roberto, was wonderful. (He even made dinner reservations for us for Christmas dinner and offered his phone number in case we had problems while we were in town.) The tour was a great way to see streets and shops that are off the beaten path in otherwise tourist-filled parts of town. The tour isn't really paced for people interested in heavy duty shopping at each stop, but that was just fine with us. The tour concluded with coffee or tea at a nice hotel with plenty of time to enjoy the delicious holiday treats we picked up along the way. I would recommend the tour to anyone planning on being in Paris for Christmas, especially since many places are closed for the holidays.

The Paris Pass was a lifesaver. It was easy to pick up and use-- places that accepted the pass clearly marked where we should go to use it. Skipping the line at the Louvre cut at least an hour of "line time" out of our visit. The Metro tickets were great because they gave us the freedom to go all over the city. The hop on hop off bus also helped us see the main attractions conveniently. I'll get a Paris Pass for my next trip to Paris, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

We had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our tour guide, Gill, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. Skipping the massive ticket line was excellent. The hour we saved from standing in line made a big difference in our day. This was an amazing way to see the Eiffel Tower, with both structured time and opportunities to explore on our own. I would recommend this tour to anyone thinking about visiting the Eiffel Tower, even if they have been there before.
