They did not provide what was sold

First, let me say our tour guide Peter was excellent. The rest of this review is no reflection of him. He was kind, knowledgable and helpful. As fir the tour itself, we booked it expecting a champagne lunch at the Eifel Tower. That was the bring draw. There were other similiar more affordable tours w/o it. However, the tour operator notified us last minute that lunch at tje Eifel tour was canceled and instead booked on tje Siene River Cruise. We were refunded apx $53 each (4 ppl) for a tour that cost apx $2K for 4. Not an equittable exchange but at that point we had little time to change plans and the operator has a no cancelation policy. The bus was well air conditioned and Peter was informative which was the first 1-2 hours in Paris. After that we boarded our Sienne river cruise and were sperated from the rest of the tor grouo, put on a different boat with a later departure with cut into "free time." We were put on a boat with a different large tour grouo speaking French. Which is fine but our waiter right away asked if we spoke French and shen we said we didn't he became rude and didn't take our order. We watched the table next to us finish 1st course before we had our order taken by a supervisor who noticed us just sitting there. Champagne should be included but the waiter said it wasn't. The supervisor brought the champagne. The food was so-so for the cost. The kids (11 & 15) did not enjoy it. When they asked for more nuts, the waiter said, "Didn't yoy get some already?" referencing the 6-7 nuts each they received but neither ordered all 3 courses that were included in the cost. The boat has a/c but if you aren't sitting by it, prepare to sweat. You are getting pretty scenery while you dine. That's it. A good cafe with delucious foid, kind service & people watching eould have been time better spent. We only had 20min "free time" after that to collect Eifrl tower photos, and shop. Re-boarding the bus, we saw the Arc de Triumph and right before we were supposed to see Sacre Coeur, the skues opened up and it poured unexoectedly. The city was humid, smelly and with unexoected storms we took a cab back to the train station and spent $50 Euro each ($200) to get an earlier Eurostar back rather then get soaked and traverse a slippery hill to Sacre Coeur. We have traveled 20+ coutries, 10+ Viator tours. My advice: skip this one. I never asked before even from a nit great tour but we should have a much bigger refund back. The guide was great oir the time we soent with him (90min-ish) but the tour operator did not deliver on what they sold. My advice: buy your oen Eurostar tickets and either book a hop on/off tour and lunch on your own - you'll have better control of your schedule, spend less $, and likely have an overall better experience.

Not what it should have been

Robert_T, Aug 2019

This was to be a small group. On this day there were only three (us) so they combined us with a group of 18. It did not work well. We made the trip to and around Paris with no problems but when it was lunch time things went south. We had to rush through our meal (which is tough in France) to try to meet back with the group in time. Which also meant we did not have a chance to explore the Tower, or surrounding area, as promised. We were a half-hour late getting back, thru no fault of our own, which pissed off the other 18, and it caused us all to miss a good part of the afternoon. The company only used one guide and one van when they should have had two, and we paid the price. In short it was a good day ruined for 21 people.
