Excellent tour given the available time. Our guide was very personable and well organized, keeping the group together and constantly moving. We were able to see a reasonable amount of the Louvre in two hours. The lunch at the Eiffel Tower was at the 53 Restaurant at the level of the Eiffel Tower. Adequate time to enjoy the meal and the meal was quite good. After lunch, we re-boarded a boat and cruised along the Seine to Notre Dame. The cathedral had many tourists on Monday and it was impossible to stay together in such a large tour group. This was not a problem since the tour ends at the cathedral. A quick cab ride got us back to our hotel.

Excellent tour and tour guide and certainly makes best use of time for those who are on a short break. Avoiding the queues was a huge bonus. Although it was a busy day, there was plenty of time at all venues.

Meal in tower was adult orientated and we had 2 children who would have preferred the burger on the menu for example. But it was fixed menu, should have a menu alternative for younger members.

We only had four nights to spend in Paris and wanted to hit some of the high points. It was great to be able to reduce the waiting time. Our guide, Maurice, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He guided us around the Louvre so we could see the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory, pointing out various art pieces on the way. If you prefer to study and reflect on the artwork, this tour is not for you, but if you are like us and prefer the highlights, this is for you. We also enjoyed the lunch at the Eifel Tower. You are given a choice of three different entrees with either a salad or a dessert.

This was a highlight of our stay in Paris. I think this must be attributed to the quality of our guide for this tour. She was outstanding, and her passion and depth of knowledge were like nothing I had experienced before.

My husband and I only had one full day in Paris, and this tour could not have been better. Our tour guide did an outstanding job. She had about 20 of us in the group with 3 different language backgrounds, but it felt like a small group because she would group us accordingly. The meeting place was easy to find. I loved Paris, and the people there were VERY friendly. If you don't have a lot of time or you want to really learn the history, book with this company. We did for Italy also and had a great time on that tour as well.

The tour of the Louvre Museum is so worth doing as you skip the lines and learn about the important pieces of art in the building. You learn so much, and it's great that there is no waiting involved. The lady who gave us the tour was brilliant. The lunch was beautiful at the Eiffel Tower, and you have plenty of time to explore the tower and again skip the queues--so worth it! Notre Dame was quite a short tour; however, the boat ride there was quite long; we had poor weather, but on a beautiful day you would be lucky!

Our guide made this an absolutely fantastic day. He was full of knowledge and stories that brought these monuments to life. Lunch in the Eiffel Tower was basic and service a little slow but we still had time to go to the top of the tower and take some fantastic photos.

This full day tour of Paris was wonderful! Our guide presented Paris to us in a very passionate and caring way. I was traveling alone, and appreciated the level of comfort I felt, especially in the pace of a full day the tour. There was time to listen to our guide tell us about Paris and time to enjoy the moment in what we were looking at, and time to snap photos. Thanks, I loved this tour!
