Let me start by saying our guide Tank is TERRIFIC!!! This is a LONG day, but a terrific way to see Paris highlights. We started in Monte Marc and the Sacre Coeur Basilica and a walk about the the neighborhood. A coffee stop was a welcome break. Then we used the Paris underground to get to the Louvre, where we spent about 2 hrs ending at the Mona Lisa. We walked to a nearby neighborhood that had plenty of restaurants for a 90 minute lunch break. We then continued via subway to Notre Dame Cathedral for an external tour, we then were transported to the Eiffel Tower where the tour ended. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Tank is an amazing story teller. We were a group of 19 and he managed to keep us all on time.

Tank was an exceptional guide. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, he shared that in an interesting, relatable, and humorous way. He showed uncommon kindness to the entire group, but also to a special needs woman. He kept safety in mind all whiles ensuring the group was together and aware in advance of what was happening while we were using the under and overground and the funicular. For anyone interested, my step count showed about 4.5 miles and lots of stairs and standing but we had nice breaks for coffee and a long lunch and there were places to take a brief sit periodically. Just as an aside, this review was way too challenging to write and may represent the other couple with whom we were traveling because they couldnt navigate the multiple sign on requirements!
