Juan did a really good job with the running tour. We did the off the hidden trail of Paris. We did 9.3 miles and we went to places that otherwise I would have never seen. Juan was very well prepared with water and protein bars which were nice to have at the end. I would recommend Juan and this tour to everyone looking to running in Paris while visiting.

Great tour through Paris with family and small dog, we got off at the Champs Élysée and Notre Dame and got back on later, everything went great and it was really fun, there's no better way to explore Paris.

Hop-on hop-off tour was nice, the information on headphones was also great. But one or two additional stops would have been good. Overall worth it - I got to see everything important.

Wheelchair accessible. Great info on the audio guide. Bus drivers very helpful. We bought as a package with river cruise which was beautiful

Not enough buses running especially when Traffic added. So bus waits were so long we would just walk to next location sometimes.
