Smooth day trip to Paris
Had a wonderful day trip to Paris with our guide Anna. She was super helpful throughout with lots of tips and funny stories! Everything went very smoothly and we never felt rushed. Food at the restaurant was ok, but our server was excellent and they paid very close attention to food allergies which was much appreciated. We had around 2 hours of free time which is both a lot and not enough to get out of the touristy area on foot. Our tour bus driver did an amazing job in chaotic traffic situations due to road shutdowns with protests. Overall had a great time! Anna really looked out for us all to make it so smooth.

Great experience!
My husband and I decided to do this trip on a recent vacation to London. We really enjoyed it. It didn't seem to be too hectic. It was a great pace, and we experienced the best parts of Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride seeing some of the best landmarks including Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris. The lunch was great at the Eiffel Tower. I was expecting small portions of food and wine, but it wasn't. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend it. Our tour guide, David, was great.
