I had the opportunity to go to Paris on May 8, 2026, by bus. I started at 5 AM and then we left at 6 PM. My opinion on this trip is really positive because it greatly changed my perspective; I find it to be a beautiful and elegant city. It really makes one want to live there. First of all, we woke up at 3 AM because we had to go to Givet (France) to catch a bus that was leaving at 5 AM to pick up the rest of the people. Then, once we arrived, it was 10 AM, and we were dropped off at the Arc de Triomphe, and we went directly to the Eiffel Tower. Afterward, we walked a lot going to Sephora, Galeries Lafayette, and then we went to eat and drink at some small restaurants. Finally, we left at 6 PM by bus and returned around 11 PM. It was really great, but on the way back, I got sick. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this day, especially since it was with my boyfriend's family.
This tour did not disappoint. We felt welcomed and we were excited. We particularly enjoyed seeing Place Dauphine and Pont des Arts. This tour made us to feel like exploring more of Paris.
Thank you for the 5-star review. We can't wait to share more adventures with you in the future!
Very poor. Our guide knew nothing of the sites (told us the Eiffel Tower “was very tall and had four legs.” We were to take a bus, which we were supposed to pay for…. We decided to end the tour then and did the Eiffel and Notre Dame on our own.
We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback about the guide and overall experience is noted and will be addressed with our team.
This tour beautifully captured Paris’s essence. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a comprehensive glimpse of Paris that strikes the balance between must-see attractions and lesser-known local haunts.
We're thrilled you enjoyed your tour and appreciate you sharing your experience!
