Paris in a Day Tour with Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Seine River Cruise

Stefan

We had a great guy showing us around. Funny, educational, and very good at keeping the group together and on schedule. My wife and I agreed we would not have had half the experience if we tried doing it ourselves. Great company!

Loved the tour

Our tour guide was funny & very knowledgeable!

A really enjoyable experience

We really enjoyed our day with the tour group leader, Yulia. She clearly enjoys her job - and gave us a really in-depth commentary on the places we visited. The visit to Louvre was really quite good, and the Seine River cruise really provided another per perspective to the City.

Great way to see the city!

We have two days in Paris and this tour was great. We were tired by the end but really did gfeel like we saw everything we could in a short time. Julie was great. She taught us how to use the metro but made sure we were with her and took the correct stops. We started in beautiful Montmatte. The tour guy staff suggested some bakeries to grab a quick breakfast when we arrived early. Julie knew her was around the crowds and took us on a beautiful tour. She even suggested where to avoid eating and which restaurants were good. She made sure we saw the highlights in the Louvre. We could have spent an entire day there. But she also made sure to explain why certain peices were important, their significance, and what to look for. We saw more then just the Mona Lisa. She brought us to a great spot fir photos near the Eiffel Tower (that wasn’t packed with tourists) before our timed ticket entry to go the the second floor. She suggested restaurants and routes for going other places in the city. When we took the seine river cruise, I knew the bridges we passed under and the buildings we saw and their significance because she had already taken us to see them and explained what they were. We walked A LOT on this tour but saw so much. She even explained each bridge we crossed, the decorations on them, their place in history, etc. Great tour!

Tickets not included within tour

This tour was a great way of seeing ‘Paris in a day’ and Julie did a great job in getting us through each of the specified tourist locations. We were very disappointed however that the Eiffel Tower tickets to the second level were booked for us at 10pm that evening - 6 hours after the tour was finished! Also the river cruise was also not board of the day and offered at the end. This was not communicated and we had already made plans for the time after the tour so did not set to use these two opportunities. That’s not good enough and should’ve been advised in advance for planning.

Full walking tour

More than expected, and the guide was phenomenal, knowledgeable with a sense of humor as well as historical perspective.

Great experience

We had a wonderful time with our guide Astrid, who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Paris and the places and artworks that we saw. The tour made seeing the major attractions in Paris easy and efficient for a short visit.

A Magical Day & Night For Our Family

My wife and I have been looking forward to this since we booked it several months ago. As the time got closer, we got worried that the amount of walking would be too much for our younger children, aged 7 and 9. However, this was fine. I must say, we were very lucky with our Tour Guide, Aida. She made the experience engaging, her local knowledge was fantastic, especially at the Louvre - we all got right up to the Mona Lisa! Her explanation kept us all engaged. The head-set was a great idea and she calmly guided part of the Tour when she identified potential 'pick pockets' on the train. We got to see everything and luckily for us we stayed near Notre Dam so we went back to our hotel for a few hours sleep before going to the Eiffel Tower visit at 10pm. What an experience. I must say, we worried about this timeslot but we got to see the Tower both just before sunset and when the lights came on. Highly recommended and once again, a big thank you to Aida

It's possible to do Paris in a Day!

We had a great day with our tour guide, Steve. He was knowledgable, friendly, and kept the group in good spirits and engaged. We walked through neighborhoods, rode the Metro, went to the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the day ended with a wait-free ride to the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower. It was an awesome day. The scheduling and lack of lines made everything so much more fun. Steve's ability to highlight the most "desirable" sights was super helpful, too. Only thing to consider: it's a lot of walking, so if you're not comfortable with walking 7-8 miles, this isn't the tour for you.

Tour is informative, fun, but involves a lot of walking.

Our tour guide, Fabian was fantastic and provided lots of interesting information about the sights we which we wouldn’t have been able to get otherwise. The only word of caution is that it involves quite a bit of walking (around 20, 000 steps with moderate climbing and stairs). It was a long day starting at 9:30 am from the meeting spot and finished around midnight for us back to the hotel. That was partly because we 9 pm Eifel Tower tickets. Between 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm we had free time before standing in lines again for the Eiffel Tower. We were there in end of June and be prepared for crowds especially at the Louvre and Eiffel Tower.. Fabian gets 5 stars from us. Thanks 👏🏻

Great and wonderful

We had a wonderful time - a very busy day - but we saw the best of Paris. Our tour guide was wonderful. She explained so much of the history and background of the places we stopped and visited. I would recommend your tours to anyone!

Art/religion history lessons

Ramona (our guide June 12th) is an art and religion historian and her passion for it shined on our tour After a rocky start at the Eiffel Tower (group tickets had an issue with processing them) Ramona settled in once we reached the second floor. She was a wiz with information about how Paris was built and rebuilt and why it was rebuilt -- think defense, upheaval, regime change. The canvas she spread before us on the Tower was filled in as we made our way to Notre Dame. Before we talked about the church Ramona explained how the Romans shaped the city streets, and then how the conquering of the pagan religion shaped the church's power, and then the city to come. Once we arrived at the Louvre, it was not enough to guide us through the 35,000 pieces of art (although I think she could have done it with gusto!) she started with the archeological history of the building itself, why it exists where it does, and how religion, wars, and royalty brought it all together. Once inside, Ramona engaged us in the sculptures and paintings and the history lessons behind them--why is there fried chicken next to Jesus? Why did the artist paint the cherubs touching the floor? How do we know the sculpture of hermaphrodite was made in two different centuries?. After a late lunch, we moved on to Montmarte for a tour of the artists haven from the late 1890s and Ramona did not disappoint -- as a painter herself she reveled in story telling about Picasso and van Gough and the many people around them. As she name dropped and told vignettes of windmills and gardens and old buildings she admonished us to look for paintings at the musee D'orsey. While the day was longer than expected, her lessons were appreciated as we toured the rest of Paris, looking for curious references to the art and religious rebels she so enjoyed.

Trying to get info

I’ve tried contacting the company in many ways, phone calls, emails, contact the website…. Absolutely NO answer back. We have a trip booked for Rome too. Will NOT be using this company
