The perfect way to grasp The Dordogne I went on line back in April to research how best to see The Dordogne without having to navigate on our own. I feel so fortunate to have come upon this tour and also the one we enjoyed the next day. Everything worked and was so well planned. An important aspect were our two guides, Anneliese and Marion. They were so enthusiastic and articulate, open to warm conversation and lots of insight into what we were seeing. Truly, you could not find any better way to make the acquaintance of this history-rich area than with these tours.

aweful Worst booking experience ever and far too many things went wrong to even account for. They booked our trip to the Louvre on Sunday after we were set to arrive, leaving 1 hour to get from the airport to the Louvre and see all the art. The two days for hop on hop off bus tickets couldn't be used. When we showed up to the tour for Versailles we were told there would be no tour that day and we had to pay (again) for our own way and tickets to Versailles. Only our trip to the Eiffel tower was able to be used. So we paid for a tour of the Eiffel tower, tour of the Louvre, two days of hop on hop off bus access, and guided tour of Versailles. We received, tour of the Eiffel tower, tickets to the Louvre. 50% is far from a winning record.

Terrible guide Guide was rude, arrogant, and uninformed. He said he had left school at 17, and was giving us his version of D-Day. To say it differed from reality would be a huge understatement. When asked about various monuments we encountered he said he did not know what they were. He wasn't "into" them.

This tour was awful. The tour guide seemed hungover, did not know much and kept repeating meaningless information. His directions were poor and he failed to conduct a worthwhile tour. The sights and format were good and had we encountered a good guide, this tour could have been extraordinary. Because of this experience I would not recommend wasting money on this tour.

Over-priced It was nice to skip the lines at the Moulin Rouge and have seats towards the front, but other than that there were no perks to reserving through this company. I knew that it was more expensive than booking on my own, but I wanted the security of a ride home late at night and decided to go through this company. First of all, the tickets are cheaper if you buy them at the Moulin Rouge, and the river cruises are as cheap as 7 to 14 euro. What was irritating was how much TIME everything took. I am ok with taking my time and relaxing--but there was no need for this tour to be as long as it was. We waited around after the cruise for a half hour to "eat," but I though it would be a better use of time to move on to another nearby tourist destination--like the Arc du Triumph. Paris is not that big of a city, and all that extra time spent driving between locations/waiting was not necessary if only to pad the time and make you feel like you go your money's worth. The show was good though.
