Paris Food Walking Tour: Gourmet French Food
Paris, France
My Rating

The tour was ok.
Very pleasant guide who took us on a local stroll around the market area, and gave us some history on the produce of the region.
I guess I had expected more food, so I did not have breakfast for our 9am start.
No tastings until nearly midday, and then we had the cheese and baguettes that were purchased along the way for a snack at the end of the trip.
Worth doing ..... just.

Paris Paradis Latin Dinner and Show
Paris, France
My Rating

Very entertaining evening.
We had great seats (it was so pleasing to see our names on a place card at the table).
The meals were surprisingly very good, with plenty to eat and drink.
The show was bright, colourful and fast paced. (Warning - exposed flesh)
I have seen Moulin Rouge, and this was Moulin Rouge-like, just on a smaller scale.
But, you get what you pay for. MR costs more, and if you have been before, and you want something similar but on a smaller scale, this is it.

Paris Bike Tour

Really enjoyable ride around Paris.
This is certainly not strenuous. It was a meander through some of the streets, dominating the lanes at times (so cars could not get past) , then taking bike paths and occasionally footpaths.
We stopped for many photo opportunities, and explanations of some of the sites we saw.
Ryan, our guide, was from Texas. A very easy to listen to guy, full of interesting sidelights.
We stopped at a picturesque (but expensive) place for lunch.
Even though the weather was poor, it was stilla very worthwhile tour to do.

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

Too expensive.
Too long to get to us.
Too long to get us to our hotel.
Don't use !
It took 3 phone calls, and over 1 hr and 20 minutes for the shuttle to arrive, and THEN had to go and collect 2 more lots of passengers. And yet we still weren't the first ones dropped off.
We may have been unlucky, but there is no way I can recommend this service, sorry.

London Eye: Champagne Experience

Excellent experience!
Certainly makes you feel special with the champagne.
Even though the day was overcast and a little rainy, the view was spectacular. The crew made the trip run smoothly, and was a great way to travel "The Eye".
