Excellent guide - The guide Neda was wonderful She had a wealth of information as we drove by the lit sights. I loved seeing the city and sights at night all lit up.

Guided Night Tour with Moulin Rouge Show - Gerardo Vargas, hands down the best tour guide! When I come back I will definitely request him. I would reccomend him to anyone! Great trip, amazing show, and the city at night is beautiful!

Adrien was very knowledgeable - Adrien took us and a small family around Paris that evening and gave us a lot of interesting info on Paris and the sites. Just make sure you google the address for meeting the tour. It was a little hard to find but we made it in time.

Highlight of our Trip - This cruise down the Seine was our best investment. It was very reasonable and extremely enjoyable. We would do it again in a minute! It is beautiful and you can choose to hear the history from headphones or just see the beautiful views and enjoy the lovely music. It was cool the night we went but we still enjoyed it.

Beautiful city - Paris is a beautiful city, but even more so at night! This trip was a great way to see many top sights. The bus even dropped all of the guests off close to our lodgings - while this was nice, I think it actually may have cut out excursion short! The audio guide was helpful, but it would help if there was some way to alert us when to move on to the next track.

Not for inclement weather - First, what I'll say is that the tour bus was in poor condition for a old rainy night. The roof leaked and got us wet and the upper windshield wipers did not work. We didn't see a thing. There was another couple upstairs who went downstairs. We could hear them talking and he even came upstairs and wiped off the windows and took pictures with their phones for them. But we were never invited to come downstairs or anything to make the tour more enjoyable. The guide just told us which # to listen to. There was no anecdotal information given. And 930p was too late for it to begin too

There were very few lights! - The bus was nice, the audio fine, but there were almost no lights! I thought everything would be lit up! I really wished we had toured the city in the daylight. I feel like we missed out on our chance to tour Paris, as this was the only your we did.

A Night Light Tour during the day - The bus tour itself was great except that a night tour started at 7 pm when it does not get dark until around 830! I was not thinking when I purchased the ticket since I was not in Paris. It was still a great experience. Don’t do this tour if it starts before sundown. The lift on the Eiffel Tower was not operating properly so we could not do the tour.

Very Disappointing - Would not recommend this tour. Driver was very nice but did not speak English very well and was extremely difficult to understand. We drove around seemingly in circles in this foul smelling van, passing the same sites repeatedly. The driver pointed out sites as we passed but we NEVER stopped for pictures even once over the course of 3 hours! Could only shoot pictures through the van windows (they didnt even clean the windows) so photos were useless. We could only see street level through the van windows - no view of above. Waste of time and money.

Dishonest and cheated us - Before their merge(??) we had taken this tour (11 times) through Cityrama and always enjoyed it. This time (via Pariscityvision) we were taken advantage of and the company failed to deliver what was promised. We were chaperoning 2 teens while their parents enjoyed a lovely Citroen tour, We waited and waited after checking in and then, a VAN shows up rather than a commercial, luxury bus! We were told it was an "upgrade". No, there were not enough passengers for them to justify the bus so they were looking out for their bottom line! One couple went straight back to the office to get their money back. We would have but didn't want to disappoint these kids-even if it had to be a bumpy van and not the smooth, comfortable, upper level ride of the luxury bus with a great commentary. I sat in the back (shocks were not good). you could not see much from this lower "ground level" and, the driver's focus should have strictly been on the road and traffic rather than also being our commentator. it made me very uneasy. Plus, I knew the bus tour route and would have felt safe. While the van could venture on streets too narrow for a bus, we were also on streets that I had avoided and did not feel safe on. I contacted the co. but they refused to compensate us for anything (No surprise!). We specifically bought the BUS tour and they did not deliver what we purchased. They had plenty of time to inform us of the switch so we could consider other arrangements. This was deceitful and dishonest. Shame, shame on ParisCityVision!
