It is the guide that makes for a great, or not so good tour, and Antoine was fabulous!!! He was knowledgable, passionate and easy to understand. He was also quick witted and resourceful. This tour was a great way to see many Paris highlights in a day.

If you’ve not got a lot of time to get around Paris to see all the sights, this is the perfect trip. It’s a long day with quite a bit of walking (I’m 25 weeks pregnant… I managed but it was hard work) but includes stops, places to rest and some metro/trains so very manageable. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My highlight was that we got to the cruise at 5pm which meant when it returned to the Eiffel Tower it was the perfect time for sunset and right on time for it sparkling which was the perfect end to the day. Would highly recommend!

The tour was long but very well timed and planned out. There were plenty of stops for bathroom and snacks as needed. Arwan was our guide and he was great about making sure we were all keeping up. He even found vegan options for lunch for some of the other guests. One of the best parts that was completely unexpected was a second guide for the Louvre portion. The group was split into 2 smaller groups, each with our own guides, to make the Louvre experience even better than expected. I had Suzanne (?) as my guide for the Louvre portion and she was AWESOME!
