Excellent. Timely. Everything as advertised. Placed close to all attractions. Tour leader provided excellent commentary during the time between attractions.

It was fairly long bus...
It was fairly long bus drive, which l knew, but there was no guide to tell you a thing about where you were traveling. We did pick up guide in Paris. She was less than Adequate. She had strong dialect that made her hard to understand She set in front seat always looking forward no eye contact with people on tour. Had ample time in city and boat trip was good but no free pastry that was mentioned in add.

Not recommended
I have very hard time trying to recommend this tour. We may have been unlucky, but our guide had a very strong accent that made it very difficult for people to understand, especially over the microphone. On multiple occasions, the tour participants shouted asking her to speak up since it was impossible to understand. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a 100% of services delivered, with this guide we hardly got 50%. Also, I don't think the value is there, the tour is overpriced for what is being delivered.
Response from the operator: Since your concern about the guide’s English is the only one received from the entire group, we highly recommend understanding that not many guides speak American English in Europe. Most speak international English with a local accent—Greek in Greece, German in Germany, French in France, and so on. To become more comfortable understanding accented English, we recommend travelling outside your home country more often. Safe travels

This was an excellent...
This was an excellent tour of Paris. This was a cruise excursion so our time was limited. I feel that we had a terrific overview of Paris. We had a little free time to grab a quick bite from a bakery. We had plenty of time to take pictures at each of the stops. I highly recommend this tour!

Bus was too small and uncomfortable for the long trip from our ship in LaHarve. the excursion was kind of rushed because of time limit.
