To start off with the illumination tour is not illuminated, I went to Paris in the month of may and the sun went down at 10pm every night and the tour started at 9pm. However, i still enjoyed it very much the tour guide was very informative and he was patient and answered every question. I have to say that this tour showed us almost all of Paris so I would recommend doing this tour in the beginning of your trip. I had to stand in line for about 40 mins to get into the Lido, but once I got in I had an escort that was by my side all night and when they found out who had booked through this website we got front row seats. I saw everything. Now the Lido show was out of this world, I absolutely loved it. Besides seeing the Eiffel tower this was the best part of the trip, this show is a must see two thumbs up!

It was excellent experience. The hostess waited for us at the office to handle the tickets for the show. She met us at the Lido and was sure that we get the best table, which was right next to the stage. I will use this company again. It is value for money.

Show was really good. The illuminations tour was not that great.

The night was a little bit long, the show was too late and we had to wait in line in the cold night for about half an hour.

This tour is a must for people travelling to Paris who want to view the city in the evening.

The Illumination tour could have been better, but the Lido show was great and we had great seats.

The tour was great, but the Lido show was a bad experience.

Show was just OK. Couple of numbers were excellent; the rest was outdated. Waiting in line for 45 minutes was annoying, and we never got that champagne included in the price. I wouldn't recommend the 11:30 show because in fact it starts at 12:30 and your whole next day gets screwed up by lack of sleep.

We had called and made an arrangement that we would forego the Illuminations Tour and just meet the group for the Lido Show since it was near our hotel. We waited in front from 10:45 pm, the agreed time until nearly 12 midnight but we did not see the group or the assigned person nor the bus.

Very disappointed. The tour of the lights and sights was done in a small van with windows. The driver, whilst very chatty, had bad English, we couldn't hear him and he seemed intent on speeding around as fast as he could. Very little chance to stop and take photos. He was more interested in showing us what he liked ie. cafes and eating places rather than the main attractions of the city. I was very annoyed and disappointed. The show, huge queue and long wait. The waiters carried on serving people in front of us a good 15 minutes into the show, so we couldn't see a thing. Very rude as we had paid the same as the people in front of us. The show, whilst very colourful was very poor in the quality of dancing compared to other top shows we have been to. All in all we were not very impressed.
