Disorganization

I bought 3 tours, a total of 6 tickets for my wife and I to go to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles. We just didn't have stress at the Louvre. There is no guide to exchange tickets and this caused many discomforts and inconveniences. Due to the disorganization, where the guide is not found at the meeting points, because they are not identified and/or in uniform, a fact that almost did not frustrate our tours, I do not recommend the company. If it weren't for our insistence and our persistence, we wouldn't have done the tours. At the Tower, with the help of a waiter, close to the meeting point, we managed to get in, if it weren't for him, who called the guide and then located her, we would not have taken the tour. At the Palace, we didn't find the guide and we only entered because the person who was receiving the tickets, saw our stress and felt sorry for us, letting us in. Although we did all the tours, the stress and disorganization left us

Really nice property made it nice to enjoy the drinks at the beginning of the tour. Lots of stories and details shared made it really interesting and interactive.

Wonderful tour. David was an excellent tour guide. He shared so much knowledge and history. A nice walk with plenty of rest stops. I highly recommend!

Near town. Very lovely visitor center, bar and gift shop plus a good history of rum in PR by our guide. Much less than Bacardi and likely not as busy.

Francisco was informative, interesting and very gracious. We loved our tour.
