We felt like we were being packed in everywhere: at the dinner at the Eiffel Tower, the river cruise, and the show. The seats were certainly not great, we were almost at the back.

The Moulin Rouge show was great! The dinner was okay. The restaurant at the Eiffel Tower is very rustic and not the elegant dinner I would have expected to have at such a beautiful location. The food was not bad, but it was very informal with twenty strangers to a table. Also, there was no choice of food, you just had to eat what you were brought.

The Moulin Rouge was fabulous, but the dinner at the Eiffel Tower was disappointing--no choice of menu, and people had to settle for what they got. I would not book the Eiffel Tower dinner again but would highly recommend the Moulin Rouge.

There was a mix up in our arrangements to start our evening. We therefore missed the beginning of the evening, but tried to catch up. Long story short, the customer service and transfers between the dinner and show could've been A LOT better. The Eiffel Tower dinner was standard, the Moulin Rouge was excellent.

The tour operator in Paris was very professional and organized. The experience as a whole was very good. I have to mention that the Moulin Rouge show for us was too much a Las Vegas show, which we were somehow disappointed. We were expecting something different, that why we did not make the Lido show. At the end, it seems that both shows are basically the same. Other than that, very good experience.

Eiffel Tower was faultless. Brilliant. Moulin Rouge, however, was disappointing. As we see a lot of shows, and it was quite uncoordinated, I thought we might have been seeing the second or understudy company. It was not a cohesive troupe and not pretty to watch, I'm afraid. Unfortunately, the bus driver dropped us nowhere near our hotel, and gave us very little idea of where we were going. We were specific about which metro station it was, and it was miles away from where he dropped us. It was such a shame, as the Viator procedure up to that point was fabulous, sorry he let us down.

The Eiffel Tower dinner was absolutely horrendous, the worst food and service we have ever encountered. We spent a lot of time waiting around in the cold with no one knowing what to do. There was no communication from Viator reps. We were jammed in at the show, and couldn't move even to go to the toilet. Overall, we were very disappointed. The actual show was the only thing decent on the night.

The tour was supposed to take about 5 hours and have us back in the hotel before midnight but we got back after 1 am causing us to miss our next tour the following morning.

Tour started on time but due to congestion on the Eiffel Tower, the cruise was canceled, the seats in the Moulin Rouge were the last 2 rows. The tour group lost 25 persons then found them later!

In the Moulin Rouge show our group was assigned to sit at the last row. I could only see a half side of the performance because there was a huge pillar right in the front of our table. The waiters even forgot about us and only remembered to bring us drinks after the show has started.

I wanted to go to the Moulin Rouge and thought having dinner at the Eiffel Tower would add to the enjoyment. The dinner was very pleasant. It was a little rushed for no real reason, and we could have spent more time on the Eiffel Tower, but we were advised to be back for the boat trip by 8:30. The boat did not leave till 9 pm. The boat trip was simply not worth the time spent. We should have stayed at the restaurant. At 9 pm, we could not see very much; the trip would have been much better during the day. We sat and talked amongst ourselves for most of the trip. After the boat trip, we went off the the Moulin Rouge. A lot of people say you have to see this, but take my word, you don't. Not unless you really like looking at pretty outfits, and there isn't much else. The tables we had were the furthest away from the stage. The performance was amateurish, comparable to a school production. I didn't speak French, and the meaning was lost in the translation, but I don't see why the women have to take their tops off. Don't get me wrong, I can watch naked women all day, I just don't see what it was supposed to add to the show. I can only conclude it was to distract me from the poor performances.

We enjoyed the Moulin Rouge Show, but we were disappointed with the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. The place where we had dinner reminded me of a cafeteria, and we had absolutely no view from where we were sitting, or for that matter anywhere in that restaurant area. I was under the impression that we were going to have dinner at really nice restaurant in the Eiffel Tower because I felt we paid a lot of money. And according to the voucher and information we received, the dress code was formal so I was expecting a classy place, although the food was good and the wine was excellent the atmosphere was gray and gloomy. The cruise was nice and informative and I like the way the Eiffel Tower was lit up when the boat came back from the tour cruise.
As far as the Moulin Rouge show the dancing was great and the show girls were beautiful but I felt we were really pack in and seated at the far left end of the room and our view was discomforting. I also notice that when the Moulin Rouge show was over that most people were dressed in jeans and sneakers. All in all we loved Paris it's a beautiful city to visit.
Dinner was fine, however the Moulin Rouge Show is overrated. You have to wait until nearly midnight to see and then packed in like sardines at very uncomfortable angles which make it difficult to see the whole stage.

The show was OK, nothing spectacular. The seats were very small; everyone sat tightly together.

The meal at the Eiffel Tower was very good, however, seat location was disappointing. The Moulin Rouge experience was fraught with too many people crammed in and a lack of attention from staff. We were stuck up in balcony seats, which were very uncomfortable.
