It is a long ride to Paris from the cruise ship. This bus was air conditioned & the seats were very comfortable. There was places to plug in your phone for the 3 hour drive. When we got to Laris we liked our tour guide, Ash. The lunch was really good. The boat tour was very informative. There was a very short amount of time to shop & take pictures at the Eiffel Tower but this is due to the amount of time it takes to get to Paris & the departure time of the cruise ship. I think k it was a great value for the price.

Your group did an excellent job with communication as our boat was late and Kat and crew did a fabulous job keeping us on schedule and back to our cruise boat on time!
