Our guide Celine was great doing the tour in Spanish. Buzzing around Paris in a classic car made is feel like paparazzi with all the attention we got...although in fact it was the car that was the star. My only regret was that i didn't have more Euros in my pocket to give her a larger tip.

The bus was comfortable and heater was on for the small breeze that was blowing. Earphones were also provided. In all a great experience for myself and my 2 children, 5 and 11 years old.

Joris, our guide, made the 2h tour seems like a 10 minutes walk. It was worth it to listen dark stories from and with bright people. THANK U ALL

A wonderful night seeing the lights of Paris. Rained just at the end and we weren’t undercover so that was not great.

Loved the tour! The guide was amazing. So entertaining and funny. I really enjoyed it
