If you shot on time and want to experience Paris, this is a great way of expressing a little piece of the icon Paris!
This was great experience, day trip to Paris. It was well worth the trip. I would not be able to do this without the help of a professional tour guide. Our tour guide David take us to all this beautiful tourist scenery without rushing and he make sure that we all make the trip guiding us through both Paris and UK immigration. The lunch at Madame Brasserie was outstanding delicious food. It was a long day but it’s an Awesome Trip. Highly recommended.
We booked this tour based on previous recommendations and reviews on Viator. The trip was excellent and exactly as advertised and described. The tour guide Anna was outstanding. She was well versed in the trip and what to expect. She was friendly and helpful with any tour related questions. Anna stayed on task and with the timeline of the tour. She guided the group through the busy process of traveling in two international train stations. One in Paris, we walked as a group to a clean tour bus nearby. Once boarded we toured numerous spots in Paris and stopped at the boat dock for the river tour. Afterwards, the group walked to the Eiffel Tower. We opted for the lunch at the Eiffel Tower and were pleased with our experience. It was nice to see the tower while taking a brief break to refresh after a very early morning. The restaurant was busy, but well organized. It is air conditioned and has restrooms. The views are spectacular! Afterwards we had some free time at the Louvre for walking and shopping. Due to the lack of time left in the day, we did not attempt to get into the Louvre to see any artwork. A ride back to the train station and we were soon returning to London! Be prepared for a long day, but one that’s well worth it.
Her guidance and great passion to her job is commendable and I liked her service a lot. Enjoyed it at the fullest.
Anna was fabulous and informative, pleasurable !!
Anna was AMAzing!! She treated all of us as her family and is extremely knowledgeable about the tour and helpful as well! Team Adriana and Team Deron could not believe the sights, the special toxches she provided and allowed for. Having lunch in the Eiffel Tower 10/10!! Pinch us we couldn’t believe it! The Seine River experience was relaxing and gorgeous!! 10/10!!
Our tour guide Anna was amazing from the moment we met her, very organised and made everyone feel welcome. She was funny, caring and informative, we cannot speak highly enough of her. The tour was everything we could have hoped for and more. We highly recommend this to everyone who only has a short time in Paris.
Great day. Anna is an excellent tour guide
Excellently arranged as described - guide was professional & enthused with the group & tour/ the day was over 100 degrees but we survived
Wonderful experience. Great introduction to Paris for first time - or only one time - travelers. Optional lunch at Eiffel Tower should not be missed. It will be a 'forever memory'. Best of all our fantastic guide, Anna, made sure everything and everyone was taken care of from beginning to end. As an event planner myself with over 31 years of experience, I know that successful planning and execution of such tours can be a daunting task behind the scenes. The best tour operators are excellent at making it appear effortless and Premium Tours is one of those. To anyone who is thinking about booking this tour: Go!
