Steve was a great & friendly driver. He took us to all the stops in Paris, gave us the time needed & picked up within minutes of saying we were ready. The fresh bread upon pickup was a nice touch & enjoyed throughout our drive/tour!
Hello Julie, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your day in Paris with Steve and appreciated his friendly service throughout the tour. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Normandy or Paris in the future!
Great tour! Jilani was very knowledgeable, nice, charming and patient. We were able to see Roun which is beautiful and many of the sites in Paris. If you can get him as a driver do it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had a great time discovering Rouen and Paris with Jilani. He will be very happy to hear your kind words — professionalism, patience, and creating memorable experiences for our guests are exactly what we strive for. Thank you again for your trust in our team, and we truly hope to welcome you back again soon for another adventure in France!
Great trip with the private driver into Paris. Hugo knew all the great tourist spots to visit with the time we had. We were on our own time at each stop and got to take in the sights without being rushed. He also took us to a few places that were not on our agenda. We would not have been able to view these amazing sights without his knowledge of the area. Slight English language barrier but we were able to work through it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great trip with Hugo. It’s wonderful that he was able to show you not only the must-see sights of Paris but also some hidden gems off the beaten path. We’re glad the flexible schedule let you truly enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Despite the slight language barrier, it’s great to know communication wasn’t a problem and that Hugo’s local knowledge made your trip even more memorable. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
We had a great experience with Gelian. Our cruise ship excursion was canceled and we were happy we could book a driver from the cruise ship port to Paris. Gelian dropped us at various monuments and then came back to pick us up when we were ready. He spoke very good English so was able to answer our questions and give us a reccomendation for lunch.. Some have commented that they didn't know a full tour guide was extra. I felt this was clearly communicated. We felt it was a very good value for 6 of us.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Gelani made your day in Paris enjoyable, especially after your cruise ship excursion was canceled. It’s great that you appreciated the flexibility of being able to explore the city at your own pace, with Gelani providing insights and recommendations along the way. We’re also glad to hear that you found the communication clear and the service to be a good value for your group. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Paris! Safe travels!
We were excited to be able to visit Paris and our other tours with Viator have been wonderful. From the description it said all the places we would visit and had and English speaking guide. When we were picked up from the cruise port, there were two guides, one spoke very little English and the other no English. We were given the no English-speaking tour guide and followed the first guide to the Eiffel Tower. At that point it looked like we were going to be following each other rather than a private tour. We talked to the English-speaking guide, who then translated to our guide where we wanted to visit. He kept getting lost. We spent more time in the vehicle driving around to the locations than actually spending time at the sites. At one point, he took us to Notre Dame following a dump truck into the construction site and us getting yelled at for being at that location. Never did see Notre Dame. At one point, my husband use Google Translate to ask him about a building, and the guy said that he was not from the city and did not know the buildings. He kept having to call others for directions and using gps to navigate the town. Due to this experience this was the least liked city we toured and were very disappointed in what we got for our money. We did immediately call Viator to complain once we got back to the ship, and was given a 10% discount, which was not much for what we paid and experienced.
Good day ! Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent tour with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are truly sorry that we fell short of your expectations. You have booked the Private Tour with a Driver option. As stated in the description, this is a private transportation to the sites of interests. The driver understands English but does not speak fluently. The person who pick you up in the port was a driver and not a tour guide. For future reference please know that we have a Private Tour with a Licensed Guide option where you will have dedicated English speaking tour guide will be on site to provide detailed insights, historical context, and cultural background. Once again, we apologize for the experience you had and appreciate your understanding and patience.
This was an amazing day trip. Our driver was great and provided us with a ton of things to see and lots of flexibility.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour with Paris tour with us. Your positive feedback means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon!
We had a very short window to visit Paris. Our guide made sure we were able to see everything we wanted to see in the amount of time we had. She provided us with a lot of interesting information. Overall it was a very good day.
Melina our driver stopped at all the places we wanted to see and gave us great advice about where to shop, where to eat. It was the best tour of our cruise. She was an excellent driver.
Joseph picked us up in Le Havre for a whirlwind trip to Paris! Van was great, he bent over backwards to get us to Saint Chapelle, Montmarte to view amazing Paris for quick shopping & stopped at a patisserie for a croissant before our river cruise on the Seine in front of the Eiffel Tower (pre booked boat & chapel from Viator as well). He got us back to the ship with plenty of time!! Although we don’t speak French his Spanish was excellent. Nice guy!!
Hello Debbie, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to know that you had a wonderdul day in Paris with Jose. Having done a private tour in van really gave us the advantage to maximize your day and stop by the places where big buses cannot go. We have passed your feedback to Pascal and he would like to thank you as well for your kindness and generosity. We wish you a pleasant journey ahead and we hope to see you again in France some time in the future. Merci beaucoup !
Easy pickup and drop off Enough time at each spot Driver was patient Would recommend to anyone looking to get to Paris and back in a day from cruise terminal
