Verified bookingAug 20194/5I absolutely appreciate the Montmartre walking tour guide. He is very good. You need to consider to have a tour on the morning as well. Love the Lido show, all was goodJJohn M
Verified bookingAug 20193/5Overall service good. But some things to consider: Versailles tour would be better if initial guide explained layout of the palace and gardens, so visitors could decide on best approach for self guided tour. Walking tour of Montmartre should include Place de Tetre to highlight the working artists.AAndrea C
