I wish this had 5 stars. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Paris. Be sure not to miss the 3-hour night tour...magical. We felt like celebrities in our classic 1968 Citroen! We got "thumbs up" and smiles by most of the Parisians all night long! Also, our driver/guide could not have been more charming and accommodating.

This was a very special experience. In the three hours we saw all the sights of Paris in our little Green CV. This was better than any coach tour!!!

The whole night was a hit! The drivers were great fun and certainly added to the overall pleasure - nothing was too much trouble for them. We were able to stop for photos on request. We thoroughly recommend it as a great fun way to see the sights of Paris.

It was absolutely perfect until one of the Citroens broke down and we had to push it up the hill, though that did make for some great pictures and funny stories. A wonderful way to see and be seen in Paris.

From the moment our red 2 CV arrived promptly at our hotel we were transported into another world. Our driver made the whole evening fun, took us on a non-touristy route and we saw things we had never seen in all our visits to Paris. He was very knowledgeable and took great care to see that everything was comfortable for us. We thought the tour a little expensive but after the experience we were glad to have paid every penny and also to give the chauffeur a tip. We were glad to have selected the evening tour as one could imagine daytime being a bit noisy and a bit polluted. In the evening one sees the illuminations of the shops and buildings and it is so romantic. The car is immaculate, one gets the history of its manufacture, and the red velvet seat covers were a nice finishing touch. Highly recommended to young and old and something we will do again perhaps next year. A great experience and the hotel pick up and drop off was appreciated.

This tour was fantastic. It was private, just the two of us snuggled up in the back of this classic car, with a nice blanket provided by the driver. We felt completely luxuriated while the tour guide took us all through Paris, answering questions, stopping for photo ops, and giving us the skinny on what to do with our time in Paris. The rain came and went during our tour, as did the convertible top on the vehicle, but our spirits didn't. It was the best way to see Paris. The car attracted a lot of onlookers too! Or was it the sight of two awe-struck Americans in Paris?

This tour is a great thing to do when you are in Paris for only 2 full days. Make sure to book it at the beginning of your stay, so that after this tour you can explore in more detail the sights you liked the most.

We had so much fun with our guide. It was great to be able to stop and take photos and drive some of the smaller streets and neighborhoods that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. The car is very fun and just perfect for two people. My only suggestion for improvement is to have the drivers know more about the sights we saw. Basics such as year built, previous use, current use and maybe a little known fact or two. We will tell all our traveling friends about the Viator tours.

Paris is a wonderful city. Of the seven days we spent there in the middle of April, private Citroen tour was definitely our only regret. The driver was late. The backseat was dirty and full of bread crumbs - completely disgusting. While we realize that the car is antique and must have some normal wear and tear, we don't believe that the passenger side view mirror should be in disrepair. The driver had to fix it every five minutes literally. The driver or guide was a student who had about two tours to his name and honestly told us that he purchased a book about the monuments of Paris just a day before our tour. He could barely answer our questions and preferred talking about politics instead. In conclusion, he dropped us off next to Louvre on the day when Louvre was closed, Tuesday. We believe he just was not aware of the hours, which further demonstrates the lack of interest and professionalism. This was not worth the money. Paris is amazing and wonderful and best of all, out there to be explored without unprofessional and overrated tour guides.
