Anna was fabulous. She was entertaining, knowledgeable, and communicated very clearly. We always knew what to expect. Great day for us!
We had a great experience on our day trip from London to Paris. Anna was splendid, very organized, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The day was very well planned, and the time management was exceptional, especially considering how much we were able to see and do in just one day. We also liked having some flexibility to do things on our own rather than being with the group the entire time. It gave us a chance to explore Paris at our own pace. Overall, it was a really memorable experience and a great way to see Paris from London. We would definitely recommend this trip!
This tour was such a wonderful experience! Having seen Paris many a time, we’ve never had a trip filled with so much knowledge!! Anna was a fabulous tour guide, super friendly, professional and extremely knowledgable! The tour was seamless!!! And would highly recommend!
This was a great experience if you don't have more time for Paris. I imagine it would be very difficult to figure out how to navigate to these places without a professional guide, from meeting at St. Pancras International to getting through all the border security, getting to the Eiffel Tower, lunch on the tower etc.. I for one would have wasted much time trying to figure it out on my own. Lunch at Madame Brasserie was very good. Different wines were served. Food was good. I really enjoyed the Cruise on the Seine River. Traveling via Eurostar was really cool! Our guide David was great. Our bus driver was great. We were able to pack in major sites in a short time because they were such pros! It gives you a quick taste of Paris so you can decide if you wish to come back and explore more.
Our tour guide Anna was fabulous and very knowledgeable on France. If we come back I would request Anna again. The bus driver was very good, and friendly.
Anna is an excellent host and she went above and beyond to maximize our day in Paris. I would highly recommend this trip.
Anna was amazing, she made the day so easy. It was an amazing way to spend one day in Paris.
From start to finish, the trip was organised really well. Great trip round Paris, river cruise was fab. Followed by lunch in eiffel tower which was efficient, tasty. Waiters were friendly and helpful. Only downside was the queue to get in, around 1 1/2 hours and we had prepaid tickets. Less free time in Paris as was around 3pm before finished lunch but, as we'd seen most of the sights already wasn't too much of a downside. Left St Pancras around 7am got back 830pm
What an awesome experience. I never been to Paris but my day spent there was absolutely awesome. Our tour guide Anna was the best cute little lady any tourist could ask for. Funny but very knowledgeable of the trip. She was caring concern and made sure our group was together at all times. I love Anna lol.sbe said this would be an anonymous review but my name is Duane and I want it to be known that the next time I come to London I want Anna.
I had a great time! Our tour guide, Anna, was knowledgeable, engaging, and humorous. She was thorough in level setting expectations every step of the way. As we were leaving, we passed a Starbucks and I asked Anna if I could circle back. Not only did she allow me to go back, once she had the others in our group on their way, she waited for me. Overall Anna was wonderful and took very good care of us.
