If you wish, you may visit the Eiffel Tower independently and rejoin the tour by taxi later. However, please note that you'll need to locate the tour group on your own, as shared tours follow a predetermined route and cannot be delayed for individuals. We generally advise against going up the Eiffel Tower during our tour, as it may consume most of your time in Paris on a busy day. For a more personalized experience, we offer customizable guided private or semi-private tours with licensed Parisian guides who can create your perfect itinerary including inside visits.

Tour guide Martin was great, he had lots of information on everything we ask him about, the River cruise was a bonus.

A long drive from Port. But it is absolutely worthy of both the fare, the time and the ride. Not our first time to Paris. Still a very exciting experience. Enough time to relax and enjoy at all points of interest. The service provider, Vexperio deserves our appreciation. Very well organized. The guide is great. Highly recommended.

We are very happy with the overall experience with La Vacanza Travel. Martin, our tour guide is very knowledgeable and seems to have a vast knowledge about Paris. Although "Island Princess" cruise disembarked late in La Havre, the bus waited for us. The instructions you received in the email from La Vacanza Travel local associate were pretty clear and accurate of how to get to the bus. You just follow the instructions to the "gate" where a rep from La Vacanza Travel with a clipboard sign will greet you and show you the bus. They will ask you to take a picture of the bus including the license plate because all the busses look very much alike. Just do so for your own sake. The majority of the time spent on the tour, unfortunately is the transportation ride between the cruise port and Paris. The guide joined us late at the Eiffel Tower and ended at Arc de Triomphe. So the total guided tour around the city is about 2 hours. The rest of the time at Arc de Triomphe stop is for lunch on your own or shopping time which in our opinion is not sufficient. We only had time to take a quick bite and spent the rest of the time visiting high-end stores in the area (Champ-Elysees) without much time left to do the shopping.

The bus trip was comfortable & educational. The driver even assisted me by taking my photo. He was friendly and personable. The van driver left a bad taste in my mouth. He phoned a couple in the lobby. I had to ask if he was from La Vacanza Travel. He never returned the “Good morning”. Just took my bags. I asked if he was picking anybody else and could I sit up front. He said no to bother questions. Then too my surprise he picked up a women and escorted her to the front. I asked if he had a problem with having a Ni___r up front with him? He didn’t respond. I explained to the other passengers what happened. 🙁

We had a great time. Martin our tour guide was super knowledgeable about all of Paris and France in general. We also, had a little extra time so he took us to places that weren't originally on the itinerary, which was great because we got to see more of Paris. He also had someone shadowing him named kats and she was very nice also.
