They made it possible to see so much of Paris in just one day. Sophie, our guide, was fantastic, energetic, organized, and very knowledgeable. From the Louvre to Notre Dame, every stop felt meaningful and well-paced. It never felt rushed despite the full itinerary.
ALERT - THIS IS A WALKING TOUR - AND METRO TRAIN - NOT A BUS TOUR We were lucky that our group of 16 was able to keep up and walk so many places, including the train ride.
I had a great experience on the Paris in a Day tour, visiting landmarks like the Louvre, Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, and the Arc de Triomphe. The itinerary was well-organized and didn’t feel rushed. Our guide was engaging and shared insightful history throughout. I highly recommend it for a quick and enjoyable overview of Paris.
It was very disappointing when 35 min before the departure time, I received a text cancelling the 2- day tour. I don’t know what to do at that time… I had to start searching for transportation on how to get it he tourist’s places and bought tickets at the last minute.
