Whirl Wind in Paris
Lynne_I, Dec 2024
Thor got us through several sights in just 3 hours! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the architecture and churches. Our 3 hours in Paris went better than expected.
Thank you!
Great orientation tour

We were able to get our metro pass and learn how the bus and metro symptoms worked. Toured the Latin quarter and gave us good advice on restaurants and places to go. We feel very comfortable navigating our way through Paris. Would recommend.

Our guide was amazing. He asked us what we wanted to do while there and then showed us how to get that accomplished. The instructions on how to use the transit system were explained in detail.

Excellent first day!

Thor was communicative in advance and so helpful when we met him. Such a great tour guide. Thor provided good advice for our entire stay in Paris while educating us on the Metro and popular locations in Paris. We flew all night prior and were very tired, but he was such a good guide we were invigorated. Thanks, Thor!!

" How To Tour"- A Must Do!
ANN_S, Dec 2024
Cannot recommend this tour enough to anyone who is new to Paris! Thor was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable and helpful to us. This is by far the best decision we made for ourselves.
Thor was flexible with the scheduling of our meeting, came to our hotel to meet us. The first thing he did was asked us about what we wanted to see and do while we were in Paris. He tailored the tour to our specific needs.
Thor spent time in teaching us travel safety, tipping etiquette, how to use the public transportation. He made recommendations for places to go, things to see and do. The best thing we did in Paris was to purchase the 1 -week Metro pass- Thor convinced us of this and we really used it a lot!
Not only did Thor talk us into the passes he took us to the Metro and we did a trial run to see how the system operates. This was by far the most helpful tour we had which really set us up for a fantastic vacation.
