We loved Paris!
Paul_Y, Dec 2024
We loved Paris! Our guide, Mary was excellent—very patient with our many questions, friendly, and spoke great English. The coach ride was comfortable, but be ready for the long journey; it took about 3 hours there and 2.5 hours back. We enjoyed all the highlights and the romantic atmosphere of Paris. We had a lovely lunch at the galleries. Overall, we highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Paris in a day.
Just OK
Gayle_K, Dec 2024
It was what I expected. A long trip to Paris to see very little due to the Olympics. We needed the guide to explain things while driving into Paris. Not worth the cost of the excursion.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience related to the location of the Le Havre cruise port, which requires a 2.5 to 3-hour transfer each way. Please note that the guide services are included only for your time in Paris. As there is not much to explore in Le Havre itself, this tour option is the best one available.
Due to the Olympics, many cruise ships canceled all their shore excursions out of caution. However, we ensured both the departure and timely return to the ship, as promised.
Wishing you safe travels!
Very good

I was concerned with the Olympics going on but they did a fantastic job taking us to the places we could go and getting us back to our cruise ship.
Paris Gems a delight!
Lindsey_C, Dec 2024
Given the fact our tour was Olympics opening Day, our guide Anna and driver Zach did everything possible to show us the Paris highlights. So many roads were blocked and security was peak, so maneuvering the city was difficult. Well worth it!
Good tourr
Patsy_G, Dec 2024
Enjoyed the tour. Our guide could have used the portable speaker things to talk to all of his charges. The majority of us could not hear him.
