The performers were superb, the costumes dazzling. So many costume changes! The show is worth every penny. It’s a must do while in Paris.

All went smoothly and we enjoyed the show. It was very colourful and my wife loved it A great trip to an iconic venue

The tour was very disappointing. It was cold and wet the bus had a broken plastic window and the commentary was non existent. We were rushed through the city and lined up at the venue and felt everything was totally disorganised. We also had to pay 45 euros to catch a taxi back to our accommodation because we couldn’t locate the bus or the tour guide.
Dear Kerryn, Thank you very much for your comment. We sincerely regret that the tour did not meet your expectations and that you experienced these difficulties during the activity. Your comments are very important to us and are taken very seriously. We will pass them on to the responsible team so they can be reviewed in detail and these issues can be addressed. Once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused. We hope to see you again soon and be able to offer you a better service. Kind regards, Paris City Vision
Return bus never showed at 01:30 am in Paris. Metro doesn’t run that late. Long walk back to the hotel after midnight in a foreign country.
Dear Kelly, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that you were left without return transportation after your tour. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we fully understand the inconvenience and stress this must have caused, especially so late at night. To investigate this matter further and ensure it does not happen again, we kindly ask you to contact us directly on booking@pariscityvision.com with your booking details. Our team will review the situation and work on a resolution for you. Kind Regards,
Paid for the entire experience and got only a partial one in return. Never let Viator fool you into believing that the river cruise is on the same day. You'll be left with no refund and absolutely no river cruise. As a company who values customers , it left a very ,very sour taste in the mouth. I'd never advise anyone to book Viator in the future. Travel guide was good ( moulin rouge was flawless of course )but again , no support even from her side for the customer I'd say. Not a great experience with this tour. Wouldn't recommend it.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Moulin Rouge and your guide, but we’re very sorry to learn of your disappointment regarding the river cruise. To clarify, the cruise is not scheduled for the same evening as the show. Instead, we provide tickets that can be used at your convenience on another date. These tickets are valid for six months from the date of issue, giving plenty of time to enjoy the experience. We regret if this was not clear in your case and apologize for the inconvenience. Kind regards,
Highly recommended, and easier to get tickets here at short notice. Nina was super fun and organized everything perfectly.
This is the first time we’ve experienced a bad tour with Viator. First, the guide Andre was very nice and tried hard. But Viator misled on this one… it clearly states you get a cruise ticket but non was given. Guide said it was “an option” but option was never given in the app and it clearly showed it was included. That’s no big deal, the issue was how the illuminations tour and show were operated. The illuminations tour simply seemed like a weird bus ride around Paris to kill time and charge more. Then when you get to Moulin Rouge they hoard you in like cattle and have our group all sit in these tables all the way in the very back that are positioned sideways with 6 of you at the table. Very crammed, poor sight of stage, and you have to turn your head sideways the entire show. Also, they bring you maybe a half glass of cheap champagne when you sit down and don’t even give you an option to buy a bottle, get water or anything else; no server ever came by. We would’ve been happy to buy a bottle, etc. and spend money if they had asked. You are so crammed at the table too and can’t move whatsoever, while it was super hot and there was no way to even get up and use the restroom. Do not choose this tour just purchase direct through Moulin Rouge. Our entire table had the same complaints. This is the first time I think I ever left a bad review but this one deserves it so people know what the real deal is. I totally considered it false advertising and it wasn’t inexpensive. Best part of the tour was the beginning waiting to board the bus taking a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower. We didn’t even take the bus on the way back to avoid the nonsense and bus seats were hard on our bottoms, and on the way there it started to rain and the roof was leaking!?! Also Ferreira is cheesy, go see the actual Moulin Rouge.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. We understand your frustration regarding the cruise ticket and the seating arrangement at Moulin Rouge. Our goal is always to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience, and we’re glad your guide Andre did his best to assist throughout the tour. Your comments are very valuable to us, and we will use them to improve our services. Kind Regards,
It was a great show. The dancers enjoyed the entertainment beautifully. Unfortunately, the streets of Paris, rainy but illuminated, glittered and we could see the main spots. My guide NINA was cheerful and firm, and I was relieved.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the show and the beautiful illuminations of Paris, despite the rain. We’re glad that Nina’s bright and reliable guidance made your tour comfortable and enjoyable. Your feedback is much appreciated!
We live in Las Vegas, NV so we have seen quite a few spectacular shows, but this one was over the top. The intimacy of the venue and the costumes! Feathers, Feathers and more Feathers. The quality of the production and the talent of the performers was top notch. Yes, the venue is a little “tired” and crowded but that only adds to its charm and legacy!
Dear Claudia, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Coming from Las Vegas, it means a lot to us that you found the show spectacular and the talent and costumes truly memorable. We are delighted that you enjoyed the unique atmosphere of the historic venue as part of its charm and legacy. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable evening. Best regards,
