This is a great way to see as many highlights as possible if your time is limited. I highly recommend it.
Overall a decent tour, Versailles was packed with peoples but we got in and out quickly. Our guides were well informed, answered questions, kept the group moving and were overall super helpful. Bus tour just highlights the places we were looking for. Eiffel Tower and Seine river cruise we were at our own pace. One star off because - Hello! Why we were in Paris but sitting in an Irish restaurant and eating Irish lunch and pay extremely pricy drink?
Really enjoyed the morning Palace of Versailles tour. The tour guide was very informative and spoke several languages. And it was very beautiful. One girl at the office was very unfriendly and could not be bothered with our questions. The lunch was really good, but there was only 3 of us eating, so it was strange to have a large area reserved for just us. The afternoon Paris City Tour was too fast. A lot of my pictures didn't turn out or got cut off. It snowed when we were on the Eiffel Tower, which was cool. The Seine River Cruise was very nice too. The employee on the boat knew several languages, which is very helpful. Bravo for those people because it really makes a difference. This all day tour felt like several small separate tours put together in one day. We were handed our tickets to the Eiffel Tower and river cruise and left to our own devices. Some may or may not like this way of touring.
The overall trip was worth it, the tour guide to Versailles was very knowledgeable and friendly. The only draw back was the lunch. The food was not up to par and the restaurant chosen for the lunch wasn't even french for tourists who wanted french cuisine. The lunch was in an Irish restaurant in Paris. The service was not great either.
The trip was confusing, but ended up working ok. The website address was wrong and the new office is a block away. We started out with one group in the morning and then came back for lunch and then ended up being combined with 2 more groups in the afternoon. Lunch was at an Irish pub and hot and heavy for a summer day. I would have preferred a lower price and free time at lunch so we could explore french food. However, the guides were good and the trours were on schedule and the bus was nice.
A lot of information and sightseeing. The guide spoke very good English guide during the tour at Versailles.
Very well organised and informative tour, unfortunately our ear pieces did not work, so the guide had to work very hard communicating with a large group. The weather was bad, so the company suggested we make our rver trip the next day - they gave us the tickets and we were able to enjoy another wonderful trip under slightly better weather conditions. The guide on the river trip was excellent and well informed.
The process was smooth for us. However, Versailles was so packed that it was a bit hard to appreciate. Yes, we got right in with our tour guide, who was knowledgeable, but it was too crowded. The gardens cost extra. Versailles was not so good for kids. The Paris tour was good, wished our bus was open top for better pictures. The Eiffel Tower was the reason to purchase this trip, we walked right onto the elevators and had as much time as we wanted. The cruise could be taken at our leisure and was interesting and good. As others have said, the lunch was not too good. Irish pub, food was marginally good, but I didn't do this for the food.
This tour was very informative and afforded us the right amount of free time to explore the areas visited on our own.
English speaking tour guide at Versailles was hard to understand, the included lunch was a disgrace, and at the end of the tour right after the Eiffel Tower we were left on our own to find our way to the River Cruise...Please understand these were the negatives that can be improved upon, but the overall Day Trip included many wonderful sites was great value for your dollar.
