Amazing!

We had an excellent half day with Syed taking us to all the great sights and some we had never heard of before. He was very knowledgeable and was happy to take us to different places and also recommended some to us. With varying levels of ability in our group, and the very hot weather, Syed was very accommodating. We all really enjoyed ourselves and appreciated all that we saw and did. We will book again next time we are in Paris. Thank you Syed, day 1 in Paris was perfect!

Let down

It was a let down. 4 people crammed in a Corolla trying to see the sites of Paris was not a good experience.

Disappointing

Very disappointing experience. I was asked to book a VAN (round trip) because of our 4 suitcases, with a large surcharge. I accepted and paid this difference as indicated. However, on the day of the service, a sedan-type vehicle (Skoda) showed up, although the reservation mentioned a NPV. According to the driver, this was a last minute change. We received no help with the luggage and had to load it ourselves. In addition, during the journey we received notifications that the race was cancelled, which was confusing in this context. In the end, the service received did not match what was booked and paid for. I simply share my experience so that other travellers can take it into account.

Operator response

Hi Guiller, sorry to hear about what happened. This is definitely not the kind of service we would like you to experience with Welcome. I understand that you were already in touch with our Support team regarding this. Rest assured someone from our team will contact you to update you regarding your concern. Thank you for your time and for bringing this to our attention.
