Paris by Night Illuminations Tour and Paris Moulin Rouge Show

My Rating

Not really what I expected......with exception of can-can, rather dated and jaded dance routines and costumes, and rather lame comedy and juggling act. Much preferred Lido. Champagne neither as generous nor as chilled as Lido either. Queuing beforehand for 11.30 pm show was decidedly haphazard, as it involves blocking entrance to other cafes and bars, who obviously tolerate it reluctantly. We were then herded into tables my less than enthusiastic ushers, again not as mannerable or well dressed as Lido staff. Waiter also started clearing up and noisily carried huge trays of empty glasses through seating area I was in while show still going on. Overall hugely disappointing, though interesting to see inside such a famous venue.

Paris Shuttle Arrival Transfer: Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
Paris, France
My Rating

Satisfactory, once minibus turned up( about an hour after pre- advised flight landed) Driver also seemed oblivious to where everyone's accommodation was, again despite prenotification on booking. Please also note, the free phone number given by Viator for contacting the shuttle on arrival is incorrect, but helpful information desk staff called them for me.

Lido de Paris Dinner and Show

My Rating

Didn't have dinner, booking was for show only, which was very enjoyable. Costumes and dancers were excellent. Doormen and ushers and waiters were very smartly dressed too, and very efficient and friendly, much better experience than Moulin Rouge. Cabaret part of show also of better calibre than Moulin Rouge, as was dancing routines. A half bottle of delicious and perfectly chilled champagne, rather than a glass of semi chilled champagne at Moulin Rouge.
