5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

A fantastic evening was had by all on this brilliant ghost tour. Julien our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgable, and made the evening truly memorable. A great way to see the hidden, darker side of Paris. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. It was good value, well organised and really good fun!

Dinner and Show at the Paris Moulin Rouge with Transport

My Review

This was a really well organised tour. We were picked up at a central location by coach and dropped off right outside the Moulin Rouge. Queuing to get into the theatre was not too bad, taking about 25minutes. Once inside we were seated at our tables, and yes, as other reviewers have said, it is cosy! The food was reasonable and efficiently served, and the waiters were attentive. Half a bottle of wine was included in the price, but it's worth saying that additional champagne or wine was extortionately priced at a minimum of 80 euros a bottle. The show, itself was good fun and high energy, though probably more Las Vegas is character than we had anticipated. For those wanting a souvenir of their visit there was a small shop selling items from the usual mugs and postcards to jewellery etc. Our coach picked us up at the end of the show and dropped us off right by our hotel, which was great and made the whole evening worry free. Overall this was an enjoyable evening. The organisation of the tour itself was exceptional and our guides were very friendly and helpful. However, the show was a little bit on the tacky side and whilst I would say the basic price of the evening was reasonable value, prices were ridiculously elevated for extras.

Skip the Line: Paris Louvre Museum Guided Tour

Paris, France

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review

An exceptionally well organised tour that really bought the beautiful artworks in the Louvre to life. Our guide was friendly, helpful and very knowledgable, and by using the headsets provided, despite the crowds in certain areas of the museum, audible throughout the tour. The Louvre itself is vast so the tour focused on providing an introduction to treasures from Ancient Egypt to the Napoleonic era in France. We were able to skip the entrance queues and go straight in, which was great as the museum was very busy. The tour lasted around 3 hours and I was totally absorbed throughout, and would happily have stayed longer! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to gain an overview of what the Louvre has to offer, with a view to exploring the museum further on another visit. Overall, one of the highlights of my trip to Paris.
