A tour of the Passengers in the old part of Paris. - It was a nice and informative guided tour around the passengers. Not suitable for wheelchair, due to stairs in the passengers. Maria was a welcoming and knowledgeable guide.

A must do when in Paris - Definitely take this tour. Our guide Fanny was great! She was so informative and it was great to learn so much about the rich history about the covered Passages. Also found some great places to return to once the tour was over.

Terrible customer service - A disaster. We got there a few minutes late and there was no way to get in touch with the tour guide before or during the tour, so we paid for absolutely nothing. Viator offered to comp us the tour on a date after we had left Paris. Thanks for no nothing. I have been on other tours in other cities and communication with the guide has been available. Not customer friendly at all, especially as a traveler negotiating a new city. I'm very disappointed in how the whole thing was handled.
