“Excellent Driver, great narration from the prerecorded data played through the headset. I would prefer an actual person ( not the driver) providing the narration. But I learned a lot. I prefer a real reason with real interaction. Not just a recording which saves the company money. But a good tour!”

“Even though the Louvre opened at 11 instead of 9 we still got in at the start. Finding the Mona Lisa was easy and there was not a big crowd so saw her easily. The Louvre is so big and has amazing collections. I enjoyed seeing the famous artists and sculptures. Napoleon’s Apartments were amazing to see the wealth - even though it is a long way from other exhibits. You could spend a long time there but it is definitely worth going.”
