“I was on a tour with five friends, all over 65 years. We went by bus for about 3 hours from our cruise pier into Paris. Upon arrival in Paris we met our private tour guide, Ash. He took us on an hour long cruise on the Seine. Then we traveled with him and a private driver by van to see several sites around Paris. We had a wonderful afternoon. Ash was fun, patient and full of knowledge regarding the places we visited. We couldn't have asked for a better visit to Paris. We just wished we could have stated longer!”

“Not enough radio receivers for the group to hear to tour leader. A few did not work and a few had dead batteries. We left the cruise terminal late due to waiting for late passengers. Which then left the rest of the tour a bit rushed. To her felt very disorganized. The radio receivers could have been distributed on the bus on the way to the starting point as opposed to once we exited the bus. It would have saved the time. The cheerleader had a lot of knowledge though at times seemed to get frustrated with the guests. And made the mistake of voicing some of her concerns while…”
