Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! He was also accommodating of our group’s requests and preferences.
Our guide gave us an amazing tour that perfectly reflected our vision and requests. There isn't a better way to maximize your exposure to Paris as a tourist with a time constraint than this in our opinion.
Hicham’s tour was one of the best parts of our trip. He was so easy to work with and picked us up at a restaurant where we’d had dinner in his spacious, comfortable, air conditioned cab with a huge sunroof that gave us incredible views. He took us where we wanted to go as well as places we didn’t even know we needed to see, let us out to explore and to take pictures, and told us about the areas and answered our questions. One of the places that wasn’t on our request list he suggested and took us to see ended up being my favorite spot I’d explored from our entire trip. He was AWESOME! The value for the time we had, what we saw and learned, while being relaxed and comfortable was exceptional! Hicham ended the tour by dropping us off at the Eiffel Tower in plenty of time to set up for pictures before the lights. Book this tour! There is none better!
We had an excellent tour with Hicham! We loved seeing Paris on our first day from the clean and comfortable cab. He did a great job showing us the sights, sharing tips and advice for the rest of our trip, while patiently navigating the Paris traffic. Thanks for a fun start to our visit! We highly recommend taking THIS tour!
I would like to start off by saying our driver was a very nice man, tried to make the cab comfortable, but the a/c would not work to keep up with the hottest day of the year. We were miserable in the back of the van. Only 2 of the vents were working. We cancelled our scooter tour to take this tour because of the heat. We love to get an overview of the city when we first arrive. We wanted our teens to have the same experience as my husband and I have had in the past with a tour around the city with all of the stunning monuments.. There was ABSOLUTELY no information given about each place we looked at…..this is a church, this is the opera house, etc. It was basically silent in between. I was so angry and hot, I told him to just take us home early. I think he was really mad we asked him to do that. This was a huge disappointment, a waste of our first day in Paris, and we never got our overview of the city as now we did not have time to fit it in. I would ABSOLUTELY like a refund. Do not take this tour if you are looking for information. I read all of the reviews, and that was NOT the experience we had. It actually became an ongoing joke with my teens the rest of the trip as they would point at things and say, “there’s a church.” I don’t like to write negative reviews, but I don’t want you to have the same experience with limited time in Paris.
Unbelievable!! Bad faith in all its glory! I genuinely believe you were not ready to take this tour. You were already complaining about jet lag just a few hours after arriving from your long trip from California and that’s perfectly understandable. From the very beginning, I tried to make you feel comfortable by explaining how the tour would go and asking if you were somewhat familiar with Paris. But there was no interaction possible you seemed closed off, almost stuck. During the hour and a half we spent together, you barely said a few words. I felt like I was talking to myself, as if you just wanted to be left alone and you showed no interest to what I was saying, at all. Despite that, I continued the tour and shared the history of the monuments and not «There’s a church» full of mockery ! But I could see no interest from you in what I was saying. As for the air conditioning, I asked you from the start if it was comfortable for you, and you said everything was fine. And then, suddenly, it wasn’t anymore. You should really be ashamed of presenting things in such a dishonest way and I truly think you were tired from your long trip and just wanted to go back to your hotel to rest. Or maybe there was something about me that bothered you or didn’t suit you, but only you would know.
Our guide picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. He was very knowledgable and friendly, took us to all the sights we wanted to see ( and more), and we were able to stop at those we chose to take a closer look and get photos. We were only in town for one day, so this was a great way for us to see Paris. The van was very comfortable and air conditioned (it was very hot outside, over 100 F). I would highly recommend this tour!!!
We had a great experience on this tour because of our driver/guide Hicham. He entertained us with all the history of the iconic places he took us to. Not only did he stop at these places but he also allowed us time to quickly pop in to view the inside of Sacre Couer and to take photos by the Eiffel Tower. He timed it so that we would be there when it lit up but unfortunately the tower didn’t cooperate! C’est la vie! Hicham was also very accommodating in regard to pickup location and drop off. This tour is a great way to see “most” of Paris. We highly recommend it!
Fantastic Tour. Our guide, Rafiq, actually covered for the owner of the company. He could not be any better !! He took us everywhere, explained all that he could and offered his own experiences as well. We even hired him to take us to the airport the next morning and took his card to contact him whenever we are back in Paris. Again, a wonderful experience thanks to a fantastic guide. We highly recommend him.
Our family took the 2 hour tour. The driver, Hicham, was very accomodating. He offered interesting facts and stops. He allowed us ample time to visit Notre- Dame which was a top on our must see list. Very comfortable way to see sites. I highly recommend them and give a thumbs up on their green efforts using electric.
Thank you very much for your kind review! I’m delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the tour Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back in Paris in the future!
Very pleasant; the driver was attentive at all times. Due to a setback, the Spanish guide could not carry it out, but he put all his effort into translating the places we visited. 200% recommendable. Leaving and taking photos with us
Muchísimas gracias por su comentario. Me alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron de la experiencia. Lamento nuevamente el pequeño contratiempo con el guía en español, pero hice todo lo posible para que pudieran disfrutar cada lugar visitado. Gracias por su amabilidad y les agradezco mucho su recomendación y espero volver a verles en su próxima visita a París, esta vez en español :) Un cordial saludo Hicham
