We only had one day to visit Paris from London, so we chose this trip and are so glad we did. It was an easy train ride from London Paddington to Paris. Dave was our guide and he did a fantastic job of getting us around Paris, to the Eiffel tower and to the Louvre. Dave is personable and professional. The lunch at the Michelin star restaurant at the Eiffel tower did not disappoint and it was well organized. We had ample time to walk around the Eiffel tower, take photos and shop. A visit inside the Louvre was not included in this tour but we did stop there for a short visit to take photos and shop. The cruise down the Seine river was terrific as we saw so much from the boat including Notre Dame and the bridges. Very enjoyable day in Paris even though it was very hot that day. I recommend this tour if you have only one day to see Paris. It is a long day but well worth it!
It was a great trip, Anna our tour guide was the best, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and entertaining throughout the whole experience.
This was an amazing trip! Anna provide a great experience.
This was my first time visiting Paris in my life. After a long cruise and a day in London we booked a trip to Paris so I could propose to my now fiancé. Anna noticed a ring box in my fanny pack and went out of her way to ask me if I wanted professional photos done and took pictures and videos on her personal device to send to us. It was an all around amazing experience for me and my fiancé. She was super knowledgeable, humorous and tentative to everyone’s needs. In the end there was a debacle about seating because the Eurostar reassigned seating in the train and she took the problem handle it in a professional efficient manner and got everyone happy with seating and arrangements. I would recommend her 10 time out of ten to anyone and everyone coming to Paris looking for a guide.
Anna was our tour guide. She is wonderful, very informative of the history of Paris. She made out experience seem very effortless by providing great tips and suggestions on where to go, what to see, and time frames. Really enjoyed the trip.
Anna was a fantastic tour guide and very concerned with making sure everyone was taken care of.
