Fabio was a wonderful tour guide…we covered so much of Paris…walking and riding the train. So much fun and great way to see highlights of Paris!
ljanson, Mar 2026
A lot of walking especially at Montmarte up hill. Plan an additional stop at Norte Dame Cathedral, you do not go inside. Another half hour at Montmarte village to shop around and another hour at the Louvre would be good. It seemed rushed. Fabio was an excellent guide and had good English. Easy to understand.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the walking and timing at each location. We are glad to hear that Fabio provided an excellent tour despite the pace, and we will consider your suggestions to improve the experience for future guests.
Donna_B, Mar 2026
We had only 1 day in Paris..and this tour allowed us to see and experience Paris. Our guide KJ is very knowledgeable..sharing history and sites on walking tour. The tour of The Louve was so much better than on our own...as KJ guided us to the highlights spending time pointing out the beauty of what we' were seeing and allowing us time to appreciate the art we were seeing
KJ took extra care of all guests on the tour making sure we can get on river cruise and accommodate each guest. Tha best and most complete tour I have ever experienced.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Donna,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are so happy to hear that the tour helped you make the most of your one day in Paris. It is wonderful that KJ’s knowledge and guidance made the Louvre visit even more enjoyable and helped bring the history of the city to life.

MonSyl, Dec 2025
This was an enjoyable walking tour, but I would not recommend it if you have physical issues as there is a lot of walking. Our tour guide, Joe, was great! He gave us all a history lesson and added some very good jokes. The tour took us to Montmartre and i'm adding a warning this is uphill with lots of cobblestones. But the trek was worth it! Highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the walking tour and that Joe’s storytelling, humor, and historical insights made it engaging. We also appreciate you mentioning the amount of walking, as this is helpful for future guests. We hope to welcome you again on another tour.

Devesh_S, Nov 2025
We had a great guide. He was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. However, due to our group size, we had to split into three at the Louvre Museum. We we given another guide at the museum, nice guy but very monotone and seemed to have no passion for his job - this was disappointing especially when you want to learn about the art on display. The tour itself covers a lot however I feel sometimes could be cut from Montmartre to allow us time to potentially go inside Notre-Dame, Saint Chapelle or Sacre Coeur. Seeing it from only from the outside was a little underwhelming. In all, the tour gives you a good overview of Paris in one day but if you're looking to go inside most of the sights then this is probably not the tour to choose.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you Devesh for your balanced feedback. We are pleased to hear that your main guide made the experience enjoyable. We are sorry that the guide you had inside the Louvre did not meet the same level of enthusiasm. Your comments are very helpful and will be shared with our guiding team for improvement. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
John_M, Nov 2025
The published directions of : no backpacks : is incorrect.
If you can carry it, you can bring it is much more accurate.
I, unfortunately, followed directions. I did not have what I needed/ wanted with me. Had to carry 2 raincoats, no where to store gloves.
Our guide was excellent and we certainly enjoyed our time with her. Very knowledgeable and interactive.
My dismay is directly with Viator for publishing poor instructions. I would have been much more comfortable having a backpack
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you John for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry for the confusion caused by the guidance regarding backpacks. Your comment is very helpful and we will review our instructions to ensure accuracy and avoid inconvenience for future guests. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Tameeka_U, Nov 2025
It was a great trip and the guide was awesome. The 3 star is more for the disappointment of not being able to go into a lot of the places as it was mostly a completely outside tour with the exception of the Louvre. It does require a lot of walking, stairs and use of public transportation so not recommended to older people who’s not in shape. Also I would avoid going during colder months as we did because that cold can definitely interfere with enjoying the full experience. Also rain during colder months is more miserable. I did enjoy it and learned a lot.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall and that your guide made the experience memorable.
We completely understand your points about the walking, stairs, and use of public transportation, as well as the impact of cold or rainy weather on the tour. Your insights are very helpful for future guests so they can plan appropriately and get the most out of the experience.
We appreciate you highlighting both the positives and the challenges - it helps us improve and provide a better experience for everyone. Thank you again for joining the tour and for your thoughtful review.

Ann_M, Nov 2025
This was a wonderfully informative and enjoyable tour with two of the best guides we’ve ever had. Joachim (Jo) and Will were passionate experts who shared the most fascinating and relevant information about each site. They are both highly educated in history, culture and art which made for a riveting experience. The logistics were excellent and we experienced so many different things. Montmartre, Notre Dame, Louvre, Eiffel Tower and the river cruise (which we opted to do in the evening to see the lights of Paris) were made so much better thanks to these two incredibly warm and intelligent guides. Would highly recommend and hope you get Jo and Will as your guides!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi Ann,
Thank you so much for this incredible review. We are delighted to hear that Jo and Will made your day so memorable. Their passion and knowledge are something we are very proud of, and they will be thrilled to hear your kind words. It means so much to know this was one of the best tours you have ever taken. We hope to welcome you back for more wonderful experiences.
Warm regards,

Becky_D, Nov 2025
Our tour guide Christelle I believe was her name was upbeat, full of information, and entertaining. Would recommend to anyone. She always kept track of where everyone was. It was along day but we saw alot. At the Louve we got divided into smaller groups with other tour guides. The one we go moved entirely too fast but oh well.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks Becky! We’re delighted that Christelle’s energy and knowledge made your day enjoyable and kept the group organized. It’s wonderful that you were able to see so much, even over a long day.
Warm regards,
Julie_K, Nov 2025
Not good-value-for-money at all! I don’t expect such trip with 3 locations, Montmartre (street site), Eiffel Tower (outside only) Notre Dame (outside only) will value £392! It’s really a pricy tour but totally doesn’t worth, no private coach but only RER, no entry to the tower, short trip in Louvre..
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that the structure of the tour and the access included may not have aligned with what you were hoping for. Your comments about value, transportation, and the duration at each site are very important, and we will review them carefully as we continue to improve our tours.
Our tours are designed to give guests a broad overview of several iconic sites in a single day, which sometimes means limited time at each location. We truly regret if this felt rushed or not reflective of the price.
We appreciate your honesty, as it helps us provide clearer information to future guests so they can make informed choices. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Christina_B, Oct 2025
This was an exceptional tour. The small group size was perfect and allowed more communication for questions and answers. The walking part was no joke. We ascended up some steep walkways but the guide was smart enough to break up the walk to allow others to catch their breath. The Louvre was the high light of the tour with a guided narration of the exhibits. Notre Dame was also amazing. You only see it from the outside but it was still breathtaking.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
What a fantastic review! We are so pleased to hear that you had an exceptional experience on our tour.
It’s great that you appreciated the small group size; we intentionally keep our groups intimate to allow for better interaction and to ensure everyone's questions are answered. We're happy the guide managed the steep walkways thoughtfully, ensuring everyone could keep up and catch their breath when needed.
The Louvre is definitely a highlight, and we're glad the guided narration enhanced your visit. It sounds like even seeing Notre Dame from the outside was a powerful moment for you.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future!
Nancy_V, Oct 2025
It is a very long day. And there are very few opportunities to use the bathroom or have water. Also for the first half we had no audio equipment.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad you joined us for this full-day exploration of Paris and appreciate your note about restroom and water breaks - we’ll review this to improve comfort for future guests. We also regret the early audio issue and are happy it was resolved mid-tour. Your insights help us make our experiences even better!

Felix was our guide and he did an awesome job of showing us all the highlights of Momarte, Paris and area. Felix was exceptionally knowledgeable and answered or questions!

I’m in Paris for only 3.5 days and Viator’s 8 hour tour was what I needed. Our guide Fabian is knowledgeable about all things Paris. She was engaging and fun. Would highly recommend the 8 hour tour, which included Monmonarte, Louve tour, Notre Dame, Effiel Tower. Highlights not to be missed.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Jaquita,
Thank you for your great review! We're thrilled that our 8-hour tour was what you needed for your short visit to Paris. It's wonderful that your guide, Fabian, is knowledgeable about all things Paris and was both engaging and fun. We totally agree that this tour is the best way to experience the highlights—Montmartre, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower—not to be missed!
Jeff_L, Oct 2025
The land portion of the tour was fabulous. ‘Joe’ was informative, funny and efficient. He was knowledgeable and helpful beyond the limits of the tour. 5 STARS
The cruise was a waste of time. You must sit on the left ( facing front) to see anything while. The second leg of the cruise doesn’t fill the same course, but travels the second side of the islands, keeping most points of interest on the left/port side. Guide was boring and bland. 1 STAR
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your very detailed review of the Paris Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre and Montmartre Guided Tour. We are thrilled to hear that the land portion of the tour was fabulous, and that ‘Joe’ was everything we want in a guide: informative, funny, efficient, and helpful beyond the limits of the tour. We're proud to have him on our team!
However, we are very sorry that the river cruise portion of the tour was disappointing and detracted so much from your overall experience. We apologize that the guide's commentary lacked engagement.
We also appreciate your specific feedback regarding the cruise route and seating—it is frustrating to miss points of interest. We will absolutely address the quality of the onboard commentary and your helpful note about the route and optimal seating with our cruise partners to ensure a more enjoyable and informative experience in the future.
We hope that Joe's five-star performance helped make up for the disappointment of the cruise. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Susan_K, Oct 2025
This was a fantastic tour of Paris - we saw beautiful Montmartre. A quaint area with stunning views of Paris and interesting information about the renown artists who once lived there plus a visit to the striking Sacre- Coeur Basilica. From there we went to Notre Dame Cathedral and were able to tour the interior of this glorious structure, a visit to the world famous Louvre was next and it did not disappoint with its outstanding collection of world famous masterpieces. The day ended with a walk around the Eiffel Tower and boat ride on the Seine River. Our tour guide, Joe was phenomenal. His knowledge of every site we went to richly enhanced our experience. Hands down, Joe was one of the best guides we have ever met. This was a day well spent in a glorious city.

I loved this tour. Lots of walking. You take the metro to get to different spots. Your guide Monica was well informed and could answer loads of questions. Louvre felt super rushed. We Barely had time to take pictures of the glass pyramids. We also didn’t have time to explore on our own in the museum which I would have liked a bit more. Overall great tour.

My friend and I had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Fabien was fantastic. She was very knowledgable and so sweet. The tour took us to all the top sites around Paris. Notre Dame was our favorite part. Our guide knew all the tips and tricks around Paris and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to learn more about the top spots in Paris!
