Stanis was a great tour guide. He explained the different sites with interesting information and was also very funny. It was exceptionally enjoyable having him as our guide.

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 while’s 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 couldn’t navigate the multiple sign on requirements!

We were promised by Tank that this would be one of the best days of our life and he delivered! We got so much insight into the city of Paris, its art, and history, with a particular highlight being our visit to the Louvre. Tank connected with everyone in the tour and took extra steps to ensure that our daughter with special needs had a chance to experience and understand everything along the way. His kindness, knowledge, and understanding was incredible, and made this a visit we will cherish always.

Awesome introductory tour to Paris by Felicia!<br />Felicia (native Parisian) was excellent! It was a 9 hour tour and definitely make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. We started off at Montmartre and took a funicular up to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and from there walked around Montmartre and descended down and had a nice 20 minute coffee break with a warm croissant! Then we took the metro and headed towards the Louvre and in between had time to have lunch on our own before having a good introductory to the Louvre and walking out to take the RER to get to the boat tour of the Seine. It was very nice introductory tour that we walked, took funicular, went on metro and RER, and boat! Felicia was very enthusiastic and pointed out a lot of interesting sites and had lots historical knowledge at everything we visited. The only suggestion is that the headphones at time was not clear and I had at times difficulty understanding what Felicia was saying and had to get close to actually hear her. Otherwise, amazing job Felicia, Merci!

Our guide Felicia (named after a character in General Hospital) was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Paris. She was very considerate regarding the pace of the tour. She always checked in on us and made sure we were all ok. I really liked the fact that she gave us an estimate of how many walking steps and flight of stairs we would do throughout the day and if this was feasible for everyone before the tour started. She was extremely informative as we toured the Louvre Museum. Overall she was just GREAT! You have the option to complete the Seine River Cruise after the tour or at a later date. The Seine River Cruise was a bit boring. I recommend the Big Bus tour over the Seine River Cruise.
Yes! Please ensure that all members of your party, including children, have a valid ID on them on the day of the visit.
