The tour was a lot of fun with our guide Sabriye Manea. We experienced and learned a lot about Paris. Is recommended. We were also lucky enough to be just the two of us, were able to ask any questions and were guided individually.

Wonderful tour, easy to find, started on time, quick line, very knowledgeable guide. Tour time changed after booking, but we were given months notice. Highly recommend!!

Paris highlights tour is an excellent way of starting Paris tour on first day to continue to explore the landmarks later on at our own pace.

A great way to get to know a city and world-famous sights individually - in a way that details are remembered afterwards.

Very good. Excellent guide. Fantastic group. I loved
