I felt our guide could have been a bit more knowledgeable, but the walking tour itself was fantastic.

The tour could have been better organised, and we waited 10-15 minutes to get our tickets. But apart from that, it was a good tour for people new to Paris.

It allowed us to see the high points of Paris in a single day.

We would just do the Louvre next time. The guide had a microphone, so we could hear him anywhere, which was awesome in such a large museum. We ended up having 3 hours after the Louvre at the Eiffel Tower, which was too much, especially since we had already been there and gone to the top. We decided to ditch the tour and go to Notre Dame on our own.

The guide walked us through the beautiful Tuileries gardens, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre. She got the tickets and earphones for the tour in the museum. Although she did a good tour of the museum, she was concerned that we would miss the boat, which follows a strict boarding time. The boat trip would have been better if someone had told us what was going on around us. We got off at the Eiffel Tower, got tickets to ride up to the restaurant, and were left to ourselves till it was time to go back on the boat to Notre Dame cathedral. Except for the shorter line to get tickets to the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, my wife and I could have done well without joining the tour. Luckily, we had had a real walking tour the day before, and we certainly learned so much more on that one. For someone who has little time around Paris, this tour would be worthwhile. The guide certainly could have done a better job.

Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was great. Tour of the Louvre Museum was not long at all and was in 2 languages so there was a lot of waiting around while the other language was being spoken.

Tour was pretty good, but definitely not worth the money. No free time was given at the Louvre, and we were only shown a few things. The food at the Eiffel Tower was the best part of the whole tour. Overall, good but not for how much it cost.

The tour was disorganised. No guide commentary of the areas we passed. Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was the highlight.

Lunch at the Eiffel tour was way too drawn out, 2 hours! And the menu was pre-ordered. Very expensive if you do not like the food selection. Also, the guide did not even offer any history on the tour, just let us in. I do not recommend this tour, better off on your own with a good guide book. Also, no narration when on the boat. Not sure what the role of the guide was on this tour other than leading us from 1 site to the next.
