Pre-tour experince : booking the trip was very easy however getting to contact the tour operator a few days before the trip was very difficult until the the night before. Pick up from the designated hotel was on time and excellent. The Actual Tour : The tour guide was excellent, sadly we all forgot his name, his knowledge of the french history was outstanding and he spoke with passion of his heritage. Gave us all an excellent snap shot of the city of Paris whilst we walked where we could to the nearby monuments. We were left wanting to hear more and see more of Paris, would therefore suggest an expansion of the tour a little bit at least to either include an option to hire the guide for a couple more hours to actualy enter a specific chosen monument eg eiffel tower as its fairly easy to get in. Would definately recommend this tour and the tour guide!!
