A great tour with enough time to explore the major features. Very competent tour guide. I would highly recommend it.

The tour guide was very interesting. The tour covered a lot of sights. The lunch at the Eiffel Tower was very good.

Loved it but for the price would have expected a glass of wine or champagne to be included in the lunch, that's my only fault! Had a wonderful driver and a wonderful day, thank you so very much.

Given as a gift to my son traveling with my sister. Both loved the tour and the great guide who combined a tremendous amount of information with humor. No waiting in lines and perhaps the best comment from my sister who has been all over the world she would not hesitate to sign up for another tour from this company and she has pretty high standards.

I loved the tour; the guide was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. I would never ever recommend lunch at the Eiffel Tower - the waitstaff were completely unfriendly, and the food was terrible. Besides that, it was a great tour. Thank you.

If you are short on time, or even if you have sufficient time, this tour covers all the highlights of Paris that you will want to see. I highly recommend this tour. We had six people in the van, along with the tour guide, so it was a much more relaxed and informative tour than we would have had with a larger tour.

Excellent! Much more than what I expected.

Not having to wait in line to go up the Eiffel Tower made this tour worth it. It's just too bad, we didn't get to stop at the most famous sights to take pictures. I would recommend this tour. The tour guide was funny and very nice.

The tour guide was great; however, the van was not suitable for sightseeing. The windows weren't big enough, and the people sitting in the middle really couldn't see much. It would have been nice if the van had had only window seats and a high roof, so the windows could be larger. That way everyone would have been able to see well. I feel we would have seen more in a sightseeing bus. The Eiffel Tower and Montmartre experiences were great.

Our tour was fabulous, but the wait for lunch was a problem. The meal itself was great, but the service time was unacceptable.

Our guide was great, and we were able to get around Paris very nicely in the minibus.

This tour gives all the great highlights in a fun-packed day! There's so much to see in Paris, and this tour really gave us a great orientation to the city and its history.

For our first day in Paris, it was wonderful to have a tour to take us to the main spots, and it helped to get a feel for the city. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has never visited Paris before. I would not recommend this to anyone who has visited Paris before, as you can get to the main spots very easily by Metro. That said, the by-pass of the line to get up the Eiffel Tower was almost worth the price of the ticket itself, as well as we saw the tunnel where Princess Diana died. Our tour guide was amazing and spoke English well. We were instructed on the history of the city as we went along.

I rate this definitely worth doing but only if you are on a very short holiday, for example 2-3 days. The tour guide was fantastic, he knew everything about the city from the Moulin Rouge girls to the burial places of famous composers. I saw so much of the city - if i had ventured this on foot or even by taxi I would still be nursing blistered feet and paying off a loan for the taxi fares (taxis are soooooo expensive). If you want to see the sights on a short but sweet adventure go for it.

There was only two stops schedule for the whole day, we had to demand to stop at Notre Dame and only got 5 minutes. One of the stops was at the Eiffel Tower where we had lunch. In our group were vegetarians and the restaurant was not prepared for them. We had a fix menu and nothing was allowed to be substitute. Then we didn't even get what was ordered. There are different set menus and we had the cheapest of all. When we ask the restaurant why, they said that is what the company ordered. Would not recommend this tour.
