The tour provided a very informative albeit quick tour of Paris. Our guide, Maarten, was excellent. He greeted us with croissants at the beginning of the narrated tour in Paris and served us Cremant at the end of the Paris tour. He was well versed on the history of Paris and its landmarks and he was thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. Although I had been to Paris on numerous previous occasion, I thoroughly enjoyed being reacquainted with Paris again and being reminded of what a beautiful and historic city it truly is. It may be time to revisit Paris again for a longer period of time I would highly recommend this tour.

Many places are only pass by in a long distances, not much actually see for the few hours time. Different tours are grouped together, it seems not much differences for paying more or paying less.
