Customer Reviews

Ramute urboniene, alessandra subiaco.

Bus tour was amazing, with a good bus driver. Unfortunately you have to check before if your plug works, this was not in every seat. The boat tour was not good, due to the bad weather we were forced to stay inside with a very poor city view of Paris. Communication in three language on the boat was very appreciated. Location were the boat can be found is not clearly indicated.
