Unreliable service - We were charged, cash on demand, an additional 20 euro for “ entrance to museum”. This is unacceptable practice. “Elvis”, our tour guide, spoke perfectly and was very knowledgeable. He spoke too fast and it was distracting. They provided one earbud for listening. This is the second time we have used Viator. The first time was May 2023. These tickets were for the Eiffel Tower. When we arrived our vouchers were not valid and we needed to buy tickets on site. Not acceptable practices.
