Moulin Rouge was well worth it, but the Illuminations bus tour before was not. Would not do that one, just the show. The bus did not show us a lot and was very rushed.

Overall great experience and quite enjoyable evening. The tour is great and brings you to the most popular places. The lights are amazing, and everything looks kind of different during the night. Moulin Rouge is a great show. I and my wife had a great time and enjoyed the show sipping champagne. My opinion is that the dancers must improve the synchronization since there were some mistakes here and there, but overall very well done. The only thing I didn't like was entering the bus for the tour. Apparently it was done to see who can muscle his way in first. I would suggest the entry be assigned based on the reservation dates; thus people who paid earlier would get better places in the bus and also would avoid the pushing and shoving in the line.

Great tour, Moulin Rouge very entertaining and professional but very little legroom in coach on Illuminations tour made the bus tour a little uncomfortable.

It was great, the show was fantastic. A suggestion would be for the bus tour to actually drive past the Moulin Rouge to enable us to soak up the atmosphere outside the theatre as once off the bus you are herded into a queue in an attempt to get a good seat.

It was ok apart from having to wait nearly 1 hour to get in. The show was supposed to start at 11pm but we did not enter the building until 11.25, then we were crammed right at the back but the show was excellent.

The Illuminations tour was great and we also enjoyed the Moulin Rouge Show. It was very crowded and they had to set up a table for us in the middle of one of the aisles, which was fine. Three of us at table shared a full one and a half liter bottle of champagne and no one in front of us to block the view. We got back to hotel at 2:00 a.m.

The night was well organized from start to finish, the night lights around Paris were awesome. The Moulin Rouge show was a great experience. We were assisted by the staff right up to the door of the show and to our hotel afterwards. Excellent. As a recommendation, the option of a hotel pick up or a taxi voucher would assist aged people and those who do not know their way around Paris.

Arrive early to allow time to exchange your vouchers and acquire your show passes. The best viewing is from the upper levels. Many of Paris's highlights are viewed and discussed from the comfort of your motor coach. Ushering in only so many people at a time, you may wish to sneak across to the street's center divide to catch your best chance for pictures of the outside of the fabled theater. Be sure to have your show passes at the ready as you are pressed into the front foyer. You're crammed in like sardines inside, and you're offered your complimentary glass of Champagne or another beverage, which is refreshing seeing it gets rather warm. The festivities begin and you are captivated by the bright lights, brilliant colors, and of course the dancing lovelies on stage. It is truly an enjoyable variety of entertainment. Your departure home is pleasant as you are cordially dropped off at you hotel, making for a convenient end to a most enjoyable evening. I would greatly recommend this adventure given all it has to offer, but book early to ensure availability.

The show was great, the seating was ordinary. Obviously, you need to do the meal show to get better seats, which should have been told to us.

The excursion was carried out as described. Everything was fine and the show was great. We were dropped off near our hotel. It would have helped if a pick-up could have been provided at our hotel. The tour offered the same trip with transportation and dinner for the first show at a lower price.

It was fine.

It was very easy to find and book this tour online with Viator. Paris is beautiful at night and I loved the show at Moulin Rouge. My only complaint is the mixed instructions I got as to where exactly we had to wait for the bus. However, it was not a problem, we found it. Definitely recommend it.

I took my girlfriend and we had a wonderful time. The coach cruise was fun. The best seat is at the front. Just a quick tip: if you want to watch the 7:00 p.m. show, you need to book a meal or you'll go to the eleven o'clock show. Beware of this.

Beware, there are two performances in the evening, and the 11:00 p.m. show doesn't finish until 1:30 a.m.
