Paris in a day experience

Loved it - Rawda was the best. Recommend for those looking to tackle Paris in a day - seeing many of the iconic locations. 5 stars!

Below Average guided tour.
Christine_A, Dec 2024
This tour was less than average. Having done many Viator tours in many countries I think the tour was not worth the price. Although it was a walking tour and a very small group our guide was not as informative, knowledgeable and entertaining as I would expect for this price. It seemed more like a companionship rather than a guided tour. Anyone can accomplish the visits on this tour much cheaper and with better guides.
Responses from Craig L
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that this tour didn’t meet your expectations. We aim to provide a top-notch experience, and it’s disappointing to hear that the guide didn’t deliver the level of knowledge and engagement you were expecting. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll use it to improve our services and ensure our tours are worth the investment. If you decide to give us another chance, we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a better experience.
Fantastic Tour....you get alot here.
R2778RCscottc, Dec 2024
Really great way to see Paris while getting alot of expert help. Rawda was excellent. My family loved it...and several were skeptical going in. There is a handoff between guides at the Eiffel Tower and your reservation for the Tower may be later. We were planning on a seven hour day, but in reality is more like 10 hours if you do everything. That said, you can skip or speed up any part, however the reservation time at the Eiffel tower may make you have to come back. We chose not to change anything. We highly recommend.
Responses from Craig L
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted that Rawda made your Paris tour so enjoyable and that your family loved it, even those who were initially unsure. We understand that the handoff between guides and the timing at the Eiffel Tower can be a bit tricky, but we're glad you chose to take full advantage of the day. It’s always wonderful to hear that our guides made a lasting impression. Thanks for recommending us!
Good guide, BEWARE- experience description is not accurate.
Herman_V, Dec 2024
The rating of the experience is the sum of the guide plus the Viator experience. Unfortunately this review does not allow me to rate these two components separately.
The guide was informative and pleasant. The description of this experience is NOT ACCURATE. The Eiffel Tower is NOT the first stop. Our tour began at 8:30 am and the guide informed us right there that our appt. to the Eiffel Tower was at 10 pm. This completely messed up all our plans for this day. In spite of me contacting Viator multiple times, they failed to accommodate us earlier nor compensate us for any part of this tour. They have lost me as a customer.
Responses from Craig L
We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience you experienced during your tour. Your feedback is important to us, and we regret that the timing of the Eiffel Tower visit did not align with your expectations, there should have been multiple messages about the ticket times sent to the account you booked this service on. We strive to provide accurate information in our descriptions and will review this issue to ensure it is addressed appropriately.
Taste of the city
Erin_M, Dec 2024
The historical and current knowledge of our tour guide Rhoda was awesome. I loved how we travelled by the metro and were able to learn how to use it for our trip. She knew the best spots for pictures and seeing the city. It is an awesome tour, I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a taste of the city.
