Great experience saw lots of sights and free audio which was very informative. Last stop outside Eiffel Tower at 10pm to see the sparkling lights was a lovely end to the tour Kathryn – United Kingdom
A very interesting and exciting tour of Paris. The only downside is the delay in the start time of the excursion. Maureen – United States
Bello! Un ottimo modo per vedere tanti monumenti con le luci della sera. ALLERTA SPOILER Il bus inoltre si ferma sotto alla Torre Eiffel quando accendono “le lucine” lampeggianti, il punto di vista è davvero privilegiato! Altamente consigliata! Matteo – Italy
