It was difficult to locate our meeting place for the tour guide. Please make this more clear with specific address and location as you have done so on others. Our guide however was amazing - very very informative and helpful. He continued to guide us to some immediate sights/features along with a wall to the nearby Norte Dame cathedral. He was superber.

I book a private tour with pickup at hotel over a week in advance. Don’t do it, there is no way to call. The day of booking, I looked up the reservation and called to confirm with the booking agency. The booking agency has an automated phone number and you can only email. Past our booking time, an email replies that states pickup reservations would be 24 hours in advance, regardless of us actually booking a hotel pickup. So o attempt to call again, to tell them I had booked a pickup but would endeavor to hire a driver to take us there. Unfortunately leaving at 10:00 meant a 1 hour taxi ride, with construction meant 1,5 hours. QED; get tickets directly and do not use Travelocity, who will use a 3rd party, who will use yet another party. $700 for a private tour….

Do not book! We booked to be picked up at our hotel and we were not picked up and requested refund. Also, this is way overpriced- tickets are less than 30 euro. Go on your own to visit Sainte Chapelle and it will be affordable and enjoyable.

It was an unfortunate experience. Although our Guide, Alex, was personable, he showed up 18 minutes late. I think our small group would have tolerated Alex’s tardiness, but during the second half of our tour, the Conciergerie, Alex he then spent 1/3 of the time sitting on a bench, looking at his phone, than engaging with us. When asked questions, he would tell us to look at the iPad given to us at the entrance. He did not seem interested in providing history on what we were seeing. We spent the time on our own looking educating ourselves. We have been on many private tours, and this by far is one that I would not recommend. Again, this was very unfortunate!

This tour was outsourced from La Vacanza Travel to another tour offering company which I was unaware of at the time of booking. My guide was lovely but English was not her first or second language, so many questions went misunderstood or not understood entirely.
