Love Marine’s energy! - Great introduction to the City of Lights - even in the rain! Marine showed us the highlights of Montmartre, the Louvre, and Il de La Cite before wrapping up with a gorgeous view of the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero. The boat cruise was the icing on the cake

You should have seen it - Montmartre, Louvre, Eiffel Tower - you have to see everything! Unfortunately there was a queue at the Eiffel Tower (1 hour) despite having booked a guided tour and a specific entry time. Louvre - simply brilliant, you need a whole day just for that. Montmartre is very charming, great for evening strolls.

Good, Busy Tour of Paris - Family of 4 with two teens (14, 17) on our first trip to Europe. Our tour guide was Marine, and she was energetic and fun. The day was full of amazing sites and experiences. Unfortunately, the day long rain, which was out of everyone’s control, put a damper on several of the experiences. The funicular ride to Sacre Coeur Basilica was down for maintenance, so taking the steps to the Basilica was more time consuming than expected. The Basilica itself was breathtaking. Montmarte was an adorable area, and it would have been great to have the coffee stop there instead. The tour through the Louvre focused more on stories of mythology than the actual art on display. In the 2 hours we spent there, it felt like we spent a lot of time standing and listening to stories about the people/gods we were seeing, which we could have spent seeing more artwork. Lunch was fantastic. Marine recommended several spots, and from those, we selected a wonderful place called Cafe Leon. The entire dining experience was exceptional. The rest of the afternoon seemed very rushed. We did have a few inconsiderate folks on the tour who chose repeatedly to wander off on their own, which cost the entire group time looking/waiting for them, which is no fault of the tour company or guide, but something to be aware of when booking with groups. We did not go by Shakespeare and Company, which was disappointing. We have not gone on the river tour yet, but I do appreciate the flexibility of the ticketing process for that experience. Overall, this was a pretty good tour but there are simple things that could be done differently to improve the experience.
