Viator Rocks
Paris
My Recommendation Tip
Viator was the reason every part of our trip went smoothly. Every tour was exactly as they described it, the people at every meeting place were wonderful, pleasant, and accommodating. I would now not plan a trip without going through Viator first. An absolutely first rate organization. Thank you for the fantastic experiences.

Skip the Line: Palace of Versailles Tour with Night Fountain Show
Versailles, France
My Rating

The skip the line part was awesome, as the lines were very long. The tour was excellent, especially the headsets which allowed you to hear the guide no matter where you were standing. I didn't like the empty time between the fountain show and the tour which ended at 5, but we got a chance to buy the best chocolate covered cherries I have ever had from the chocolate shop across from the train station. Better be sure you have round trip train tickets back and don't miss the last train at midnight. You'll miss some of the fireworks just to be close to the entrance or you will miss that train back to Paris. They let you in at 8 to see the fountain show, but don't start the fountains up until 9, which means an hour of milling around doing nothing and waiting while all the gardens are locked and guarded. The fountain show is fabulous, and worth the trip.

Moulin Rouge Show Paris
Paris, France
My Rating

Quite the most visually dazzling show I ever saw. Everyone should see the Moulin Rouge show before they leave Paris. Get in line early for the best seats, everyone gets champagne. Getting a taxi home was a big problem, we had to wait an hour along with all the other people. The taxi drivers want you to wait across the street at that stand and ignore you if you wait at any other taxi stand, even if it is clearly marked. Some were quite rude.

Romantic Horse and Carriage Ride through Paris
Paris, France
My Rating

We spent a week in London and a week in Paris, saw all the sights and museums, and this carriage ride was by far the highlight of our whole trip. It was SO romantic and private, just like a fairytale fantasy. Worth every penny, especially if you go with someone you love.

Paris Pass
Paris, France
My Rating

I don't know if we could have gotten it cheaper, but it was essential to have. The best part was all the free transportation and tours as well as museum admission. Clearly it was great to have the pass and not worry about having enough Euros to do the sights.
