The Illuminations tour was very good. The cruise down the Seine was also enjoyable. I was somewhat disappointed with the show at the Moulin Rouge. I was expecting it to be of higher caliber - more 'Las Vegas' in costumes, etc. I would not have wanted to go to Paris without doing this though.

Tour was a bit fast - no time to take photos, but covered lots of main sights. Good organisation of coaches and got dropped off really near our hotel afterwards. Moulin Rouge was a bit cheesy and squashed, but fun.

A great, very long night out! The whole thing was well organised and the guide was very helpful. Both the coach tour and river cruise were excellent. We didn't wait too long to get into the Moulin Rouge and the show was brilliant. Although we were at the back the view was good. The only downside was that we were squashed in with 8 people at a table made for 6. The lift back to the hotel was very welcome. If I was to go again I would try to avoid the weekend in the hope that it wouldn't be so full. Otherwise, excellent value for money.

Excellent show and we were treated well. Only downside is that we couldn't choose the hour of the show at booking, which is probably the theatre's policy.

Because we were in the tour group we were given seats that were difficult to see the stage from. My grandmother is short and had a very hard time, when she complained to the theatre staff they gave the cold shoulder. We also were not warned that we would be in line for a long time - half hour or more waiting to be seated and there was no where for my grandmother to sit. The show itself was great and the illuminations tour was very informative and comfortable. The staff was great as well, friendly and helpful.

Moulin Rouge was really great and the city lights tour and cruise on the Seine made the night well worthwhile.

It was a good deal we got and good show. Not better than Vegas shows but since we were with Viator we did not get good seats and shared the table with others and they were not happy to have us on their table either.

A very good trip, that included a cruise as an extra. Recommend the Moulin Rouge but be prepared to queue outside to get in. Was pleased that the coach returned us to our hotel as it was 1 am when the show finished. A memorable night out and a great way to see the city and relax at the same time.

Moulin Rouge advanced seating through Viator was very appreciated.

Although the Illuminations tour doesn't stop, and you can't see everything from each seat, in the cold winter nights of Paris it was a way to pick and choose what one may want to revisit in the following days. As for the Moulin Rouge, spectacular as always!!! You can't go to Paris and not see this.

Tour was well organized. It was easy to find the office and the bus left on time. We were surprised to be told that the Moulin Rouge show would be at 11 pm, as winter season shows are normally at 9 pm. As a result, we finished at almost 1 am, and we were tired out. Show was worth watching for the experience, and we can say we've seen the infamous Moulin Rouge. We were impressed that the tour arranged to have everyone dropped off back to their hotels at the late hour. Very professional.

The actual Moulin Rouge show was not what I thought it was going to be, it was like a circus and pantomime rolled in to one. The city tour was brilliant too, I saw so many sights that I did not even know existed. It was brilliant.

What a nice river cruiser. Very cold, though. The show at the Moulin Rouge was awesome. It is really worth it.

A very special experience for our daughter's 15th birthday. The illuminations tour was a great way to see Paris by night, the boat cruise was lovely and the Moulin Rouge show thoroughly enjoyable. The costumes were stunning, the comedians very funny and the whole atmosphere was terrific. The only part of the evening that wasn't first rate was having to stand in line in the freezing cold to get into the theatre, but that applied to everyone who attended the show, not just those on our tour. Being dropped back close to our accommodation was a big plus at 1:40am!

An experience not to be forgotten. The coach trip and night boat trip down the Seine were very good.
