So happy we took this trip from Le Havre. Seeing the newly restored Notre Dame cathedral up close was a dream come true, the architecture is stunning. The guide was very nice and helped us take the best photos in front of the Eiffel Tower too.
The tour takes you straight to the best places. Seeing Notre Dame up close was wonderful, and the river cruise was so peaceful. We even had time to buy a coffee and some French pastries. Loved it!
If you want to see a lot in short period of time then this is for you. Guided was a little late and felt rushed at some stops because of it. But overall all, great experience.
The worst excursion we ever had and the most expensive! We had no contact from the tour company as to where to meet or what to look for after we disembarked. Another company helped us out. Tour guide spoke English but could not understand what she was saying. The only reason I booked this to go to Norte Dame. When we arrived there we where given 30 minutes to view the outside of Norte Dome because we where told it took over an hour to get inside! We were also told to use the rest rooms and have lunch during this 30 minutes. We drove by the Arc de Triumph. We were in the very back of the small bus so we could not see anything! We could have done away with the boat cruise on the Seine which the tour guide tried to charge us an additional €55. It was paid for and included in the excursion. This tour was NOT WORTH THE COST A OR TIME.
We regret to hear that our services did not meet your expectations. Please understand that the time available for this tour is determined by your cruise ship’s port schedule. As your ship provided approximately 10 hours ashore, and the round trip transfer requires around six hours in total, only approximately four hours remained for exploring this beautiful city. The tour itinerary clearly states the time allocated to Notre-Dame, and visits to interiors or relaxed lunch are not included, as the schedule does not allow sufficient time for them. Our guide is a fully licensed professional who assists thousands of cruise passengers each season and is thoroughly familiar with both Paris and this itinerary. The boat trip is included in the tour, and there was no reason for the guide to request any additional payment for this service. Regarding pickup, our representative was waiting at the pier with a large JAT sign, as clearly stated in the pickup instructions. Please note that Viator works with many different suppliers in a large port such as Le Havre, and each operator uses its own identifying sign rather than a Viator sign. Safe travels.
It’s definitely a full day, but everything is planned so well that you don’t feel lost at any point. Seeing Notre Dame up close was something I didn’t expect to affect me that much.
The river cruise was my favorite part, no question. After walking around and taking photos, just sitting on the boat and watching the city from the water felt so relaxing. Paris looks softer, calmer from there.
There were a few rushed moments and it's definitely a full schedule, but I'd still recommend it. Guide handle the group well and kept things moving.
It felt like a premium, personalized service rather than a 'cookie-cutter' tour. If you want a reliable team that actually respects your schedule, these are the guys to book. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.
The guide knew exactly when to walk, when to take photos, and when to relax on the river. Seeing Notre-Dame from different angles, including from the cruise, was memorable.
We did this in a small group, and the guide did an excellent job of keeping everyone on schedule. The overall place is, of course stunning, but having a team to handle the details made it so much better. Special thanks to the team for being extremely responsive to our requirements.
