Great coverage of sites and opportunities like eating in Eiffel Tower and cooking class. Sometimes the walking pace was a little quick, which caused separation from guide in crowded spaces. Guides were outstanding and went the extra mile when I was pickpocketed. A wonderful experience. Lead guide Jonathan was informative, humorous and a joy to be around.Show more

Everything about this tour was excellent. The planned trips, the optional trips, the airport transfers, the guides were all top notch. We packed a lot into a week yet, had enough free time. Everything was well planned and kept to schedule. Bruno, our tour guide was charming and informative and kept us on track. Marco our coach drive was a safe and skilled driver. The specialist guides for certain excursions were topnotch. Bruno coordinated all the guides, driver, and venue hosts with efficiency. It was a trip of my dreams for my granddaughter and myself!Show more
