This was an excellent...

Published on Jan, 2025

This was an excellent tour that surpassed our expectations! Our guide, Milan , met us at our hotel with a bottle of champagne before we started off. We began at Galleries Lafayette and ended with a ferris wheel ride at a Christmas fair and carnival near the Louvre. And everything in-between! Paris was all lit up even more than usual because it was Christmas. Milan took us to all the highlights as well as off the beaten paths. Milan was very knowledgeable and informative and easy to understand and communicate with. And our tour lasted almost 2 hours longer than advertised! Milan was an excellent guide and we highly recommend this tour!
