Great fun with kids - It was a great trip - even on the hottest day of the year! The tour guide was really fun with different monuments and a good quiz at the end. I loved it and would definitely recommend it. It is great for younger children - they provide booster seats. I hope you have as much fun as we did.

A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! 💓💓💓 - Super experience full of joy and good humor that wins a lot with Pierre's real "one man show" that presents Paris in a learned, funny, truculent and unexpected way with incredible speed that allows him to switch between French and English. It is both a visual spectacle outside with a visit to a Paris not so classic as that and of course the flagship moment with the entry into the Seine and the fact, so pleasant to discover the river otherwise with monuments that few saw it as the future museum of the great century. Thank you for these unforgettable memories and the talented team (speaker-facilitator/driver/captain...)!

Great guide, fun experience, ok coverage of Paris top sights - The guide was excellent, very friendly, fluent (and quick!) in both French and English, and very knowledgeable. My only negative was that the bus route in the Seine was around a less interesting curve of the river, probably on account of it being a bus rather than a proper boat tour. That said, it was nice to see some green pockets of the city, and my son LOVED the novelty of driving a bus into water.
