Debbie_R, Dec 2024
The tour was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and interesting facts about Paris. We saw so many interesting places and had plenty of photo opportunities
Responses from Claire O
Thank you so much for your review Debbie!! Johann enjoyed showing you around and we're glad you loved the tour! See you next time in Paris :)
Excellent Tour
Regine_L, Dec 2024
Excellent tour! Claire was an awesome tour guide. She was professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We saw all the major landmarks. Claire provided advice on when to visit the sites and how best to get there. I agree with all the previous reviews that this is the best way to see the city, since it includes navigating the Metro.
They canceled before our tour
P9546HEelizabethl, Dec 2024
This company canceled a week before the trip but I did not receive the message until we were at the meeting point waiting for our tour to begin. They said they would initiate a refund immediately when they sent the message a week before when they canceled. They did not issue a refund until I got on TripAdvisor to request it. This was very disappointing!
Responses from Johann S
Hello, we have already apologised and gave ample time for you to cancel by sending you communication well before a week prior to the tour to let you know the tour was not running. And on discovering that you didn't read any of the communications and only contacted us on the day of the tour. We actually processed a refund for you immediately - it was actually that Tripadvisor contacted us after the refund was processed and thanked us for acting promptly on your behalf. We do not appreciate your dishonesty in making false accusations about refunds that usually take 7-14 days to process in any case. We sincerely hope you enjoyed your trip and please do check your emails and communications in the future on future trips.
Perfect Introduction to Paris
Dawn_D, Dec 2024
I highly recommend this tour as an enjoyable way to become familiar with Paris and the Metro system. Claire, our guide, was amazing! She helped me figure out the Metro and was so delightful to spend a few hours with. She helped us feel connected to the history of Paris, sharing much useful knowledge and amusing stories to bring the city to life, including a stop in the Latin Quarter in an area rich with wonderful street food options. Claire made sure all members of the tour were well taken care of, and we left feeling like we’d made new friends in Paris! It was an awesome experience and one I highly recommend to others.
Luciana was great
Nathalie_F, Dec 2024
Brilliant tour!!! Our guide name was Luciana and she was absolutely incredible. She was very knowledgable, respectful and so charming - she truly gave us a fantastic day in Paris that we will never forget. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more.
We never once felt rushed and were able to get as many photos as we wanted.
We would totally recommend this tour to anyone specially with her!
Thank you Luciana for making us feel at home.
