Time spent at Louvre and Eiffel Tower was as expected. The Louvre is so big it was great to have a guide to get us through the highlights. We were expecting a more comprehensive tour of Notre Dame tour says 45 min we were only there for 15 minutes and didn't get to go up in the Bell Towers. A good addition to this if they can't go into more detail on Notre Dame would be to add Saint Chappelle which is a couple of blocks from Notre Dame. It's a hidden jewel, a cathedral that is full of over 1,200 stained glass scenes.

Our tour guide was very good although our group was a little too big to manage. Also, lunch at the Eiffel Tower was very confusing and disorganized. The tour guide actually left and we had to manage on our own - not good. The commentary of the guide was very good.

The tour was good although it was hard to hear what the guide was saying at times.

The guide was well informed about art. A visit to the Louvre is more than just seeing the Mona Lisa but seeing the history of art. Lunch was tasty at the tower. It was good to be in a group to help jump the queue. Notre Dame is a must see with someone telling you about the finer points of the artwork that makes this landmark famous.

This tour was great and the guide was knowledgeable. The lunch was pretty bad but the wine and bread were delicious, as usual.

This tour was a great way to get an introduction to the most must-see tourist spots in Paris. The tour guide was fluent in English and knowledgeable, and she provided enough time to allow for a little shopping and bathroom breaks. A great way to get your bearings for return visits for on-your-own exploring.

Very informed guide who we met at a very easy meeting point. Headphones for tour of the Louvre first. Very crowded and a bit rushed. Everyone wants to see the same things which is a shame since there is so much to see. Short boat ride from there to Eiffel Tower. Seen one ya seen em all. Lunch good. Long boat ride from Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame but worth it. Stunning and humbling. Bring your walking shoes. Tour goes all day as advertised.

My wife and I are not the biggest Paris fans, but decided to check out all of the sites this trip. The Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral are definitely the jewels of Paris and our guide did a wonderful job taking us through it. Next time we'd like to try the River Shuttle in the evening to take in the City of Lights!

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The tour guide was great. I only wish we had more time at the Louvre. The lunch at the Eiffel Tower was excellent though.

Great taste of Paris and worth it just to skip lines. Plan on going back to the Louvre when you have time but worth it.

Enjoyed the tour. Thought we may have spent more time on the river. Only 2 stops were done via the river. Guides were well informed and helpful. Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was very good. Would recommend.

The Louvre was amazing and the tour guides were great! Lunch at the Eiffel Tower was fun, but the food was not as good as I had expected. Notre-Dame was probably my personal favorite, truly amazing. I would definitely recommend this tour for a first time visit to Paris. But I would not recommend going in March! It rained the entire week we were there and the temperature was in the 30's.
