エスコートされたパリ日帰り旅行： エッフェル塔＆ノートルダム＆ランチクルーズ

The tour itself was enjoyable, and Pierre, our tour guide, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, professional, and provided a great experience throughout the day. However, I was disappointed by the communication and expectations set during the booking process through the third-party provider, TripAdvisor. The information provided prior to the tour did not accurately align with the itinerary that Pierre presented on the day of the excursion. As a result, there appeared to be a disconnect between what was advertised and the actual agenda that was followed. Based on the information received before the tour, I understood that there would be free time to explore Paris independently after the lunch cruise. Instead, following lunch, our group returned directly to the train station, and no opportunity was provided to experience Paris on our own. Unfortunately, the itinerary outlined in the confirmation email did not match the actual schedule, which led to unmet expectations and disappointment. While I greatly appreciated Pierre’s efforts and professionalism, the inconsistency in communication from the booking provider negatively impacted my overall experience.

Booked tour through Viator. Golden tours in London set up Eurostar tickets and gave itinerary in writing via email week before. However when arriving in Paris , local tour UTG stated itinerary would be different. It was a guided tour in am and free time in PM with returning on Eurostar. We had purchased separately tickets for Musee de Orangerie for Monet’s water Lillies , but now we were not ending near that museum. We were supposed to go to Notre Dame after lunch cruise on Seine River , but itinerary was reversed. If it wasn’t for Pierre who was with UTG tours it would have been terrible. But he met us after the boat tour and took us separately from the group to the Effiel tower. Explained to us how to get our own ride to the museum we had purchased tickets for, he then texted us pictures of where to meet him so we could return to the group. And get transportation to Eurostar for return to London. We were able to navigate on our own. But Golden tours didn’t provide what we expected. Thank goodness for Pierre who helped us. With UTG tours. I would suggest just booking with them. Not Golden. We also were to met our contact person at St Pancreas at 5:45 am. He was not there on time , others from our group all standing around wondering what to do. .. eventually he showed up. Not all were on the same tour package. It was chaotic getting in line for Eurostar, so much so that officials with Eurostar argued with him about us boarding and lining up. The Eurostar was amazing. , little did we know that when we arrived in Paris we would fine the tour we paid for was not going to happen.

It is a long day. Be prepared to walk, deal with crowds. However, the tour guides were lovely, Paris is an amazing city. The cruise on the river with lunch was a perfect way to see a lot of the architecture. A great taste of Paris to prepare for the next trip.

Avoid golden tour at all cost.My 16 year old and I booked an escorted tour to Paris on the 27 of May 2025. The tour was cancelled by the company. The representative who addressed us promised that we will get a full refund of our money.. I paid C$ 1400 . They only offered to pay C$ 445. This company is a scam.

Had an absolute awesome day and Carlos and his team were fantastic!!! So knowledgeable about everything Definitely recommend this tour and would definitely insist on having Carlos as my guide on our next trip. Thank you for making our day trip so special. Regards The Kean’s 😀

Very informative guide. Was given enough time to venture on our own and see the city. Great quick trip to get a taste of Paris if you have not been before.
