Great weather and making friends in the long queues at the Eiffel Tower made up for the 2 hours spent standing. Some of the elder folk found that really difficult. Unfortunately by the time we actually got in the Tower the restaurant had shut, and we were offered very poor salad instead. This was quite upsetting at the time as we had booked to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were refunded the difference later. My advice is not to trust the couriers to know who should go forward in the queue, ask and make sure they know that you have a reservation. However the Eiffel Tower experience was fantastic. We did not have time to do the Seine cruise on that day but were lucky enough to be able to return the following day, some folk might not be so flexible. The commentary on the boat was especially interesting. All in all, poorly organised but beautiful scenery.

We had a lovely experience with the trip. A lovely meal in the Eiffel Tower and being able to take the boat trip when we wanted was great - we did ours in the evening and enjoyed all the monuments being lit along the Seine. We felt like celebrities being able to walk to the front of the queue at the Eiffel Tower too. The coach trip was good but the commentary did not always match what we were looking at - which was a little disappointing - but overall a great trip which I would recommend.

Food trip, nice lunch at the Eiffel Tower with a great view. Only thing I would have changed is having an open decker bus, as this is not easy for taking photos.

The tour guide for the Eiffel Tower was a guide for 35 years was very rude. We asked why we had to wait in a long line (waited about an hour) when the tour guide passed the line to go to the restaurant for lunch. We threatened to tell the tour operator and after lunch she changed her attitude and she was overly nice.

Enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend this as a way to see the sights of Paris.

We did a one day round-trip Eurostar from London to take this tour. This is the tour to do! It includes a bus tour, river cruise and Eiffel Tower, ahead of the lines plus a very nice lunch at Altitude 95 with fantastic views! My 13 year old loved it!

The tour of Paris was great. I wish that Pigalle and the Moulin Rouge would have been included. The tour was very good. The cruise down the Seine River was magnificent. However lunch at the Eiffel Tower left a lot to be desired. I wish they had more choices on the menu! We had no choice, our meal had been pre-selected. I didnt like that. After lunch we had to find our own way back to the hotel. I didnt like that either. I thought they would have returned us to our departure location.

Your website is a great way to sort out tours that are available and book them before you leave home. Thanks!

Need to drive by the Moulin Rouge on the day and night trip! It looks so different depending on when you visit.

The tour was great, we got to see all the major attractions for Paris, and had a great chance to eat at the Eiffel tower. A Must!!!!!

If you're only in Paris for a limited amount of time, this tour does give you a good overview of the city. It was very hot when we were there, and we welcomed the air-conditioned comfort of the coach. The meal at the Eiffel Tower is nice, but be warned it is partly self service, which is not mentioned at all online. This did not impress the group I was with!

Paris is a beautiful city, and this trip provided a way to see much of it. We had a great view while eating lunch at the Eiffel Tower. However, we were limited in our food choices since we had prepaid, which was a bit annoying. The Seine River cruise was nice due to the scenery, but was crowded with children's groups who were a little noisy.

The office staff was not very personable. There were no toilet facilities at the office. Lunch at the Eiffel tour was essentially self service, but the food was good. The tour on the Seine was lovely.

The city tour was good, but the boat trip was boring. It was raining and there were very few people on the boat. The guide was automated, so there was no one to ask questions on the bus and boat. The guide that took us from the boat to the Eiffel Tower rushed us and did not explain exactly what we would be doing. She took us up to the first level and pushed us into the restaurant and left. We did not find out until after being seated we had to go back downstairs and choose our food, cafeteria style. Also we were told when we finished in the restaurant we could go over to a booth and buy tickets to go to the upper level, but the booth was locked and there was no one to ask any questions. We went back down and were told we would have to buy tickets and get back in line. There was only 1 elevator working that day, so the lines were long.

Thought I would receive more for the money, turns out I could have done the same myself for about half the money.
