Bad Experience

christopher_t, May 2024
This was a tour which was terrible. It was a self-guided tour but I could not figure out where it started. It was a waste of time and money for $32.00 for my wife and I. I did not begin the tour and should have my money refunded. I have used Viator on others tours which were great. This one should be eliminated.

Informative

It was nice to hear the history of this area in Paris. We were able to walk through various neighborhoods and hear about what it used to be like. Some things have not changed.

Links to download guide never provided

We never received an email with the links to download the tour so we could not participate. Only after emailing the tour provider were they sent and by then it was too late.
