Champagne Region Day Trip from Paris by Minivan

Paris, France

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

Our guide/driver was really interesting when we got to hear him. At each of the venues however we were in a larger English speaking group. Not the maximum eight we were promised. The small producer was great, the larger was a waste of time. That part was very disappointing. The only person we saw there was a sales rep!

A great guide and spectacular views. The stop along the way was also great. We were never in a group of more than 20! Well worth the long trip.

My Review

Not worth doing. No information which related to Christmas or the history of any of the lighting. Most of the time the audio guide wasn't even working, just repeated Christmas Carols.

Great guide, awful organization! We left at 4:10 for a 3:30 start! Queuing for a tour is not my idea of fun on Christmas day.

My Review

Great guide, but as the museum closed at three we had today an extra 21€ for what was a tour hour tour, mostly just of the Sistine chapel. Would never do it on this date again.

This was the best thing I have done on four trips to Italy. Manuelle was interesting and really made the tour fit our needs. A perfect day helped. Don't miss the opportunity to do this tour!

My Review
This was a great thing to do on a sunny Sunday morning in Paris. Despite the large numbers in the groups, the guide could hardly have been more enthusiastic if he tried. A great way to see and learn about a new city.

Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower

My Review
After having done a few things with Viator as a group this was a really disappointing experience. The only good thing was skipping the queue at the tower! When advertising an English guide I expected a person not an audio guide. The one person on board sorting was unhelpful and overwhelmed as was the guy who took us from the bus to the tower before vanishing. Finding your own way to the cruise was not what was expected, nor finding your way back to the starting point after being abandoned at the river. I would recommend a hop on hop off bus tour to this. Save your money and just do the skip the queue tour of the tower!

My Review
Great antidote to 14 hours on a plane but the buses could have been a lot more regular on the Monday, many buses from other companies went past between ours
