An unfortunate experience

Michelle_L, June 2023

It was an unfortunate experience. Although our Guide, Alex, was personable, he showed up 18 minutes late. I think our small group would have tolerated Alex’s tardiness, but during the second half of our tour, the Conciergerie, Alex he then spent 1/3 of the time sitting on a bench, looking at his phone, than engaging with us. When asked questions, he would tell us to look at the iPad given to us at the entrance. He did not seem interested in providing history on what we were seeing. We spent the time on our own looking educating ourselves. We have been on many private tours, and this by far is one that I would not recommend. Again, this was very unfortunate!

Good tour contents, poor operation.

This tour was outsourced from Viator to another tour offering company which I was unaware of at the time of booking. My guide was lovely but English was not her first or second language, so many questions went misunderstood or not understood entirely.

Not Best Value for Experience

Lauren_M, Mar 2022

We did see everything as described for the tour but it didn’t feel like we experienced the sites as would be expected for a bespoke tour despite our guide being very kind. There was some disorganization about entry points & ticketing which cut into our time & made the tour to feel rushed as our guide had another to get to immediately following ours. As a history buff I didn’t learn anything from our guide that I wasn’t already familiar with which was a bit of a disappointment as I had expected the guide to be an area expert.

Response from Host, Mar 2022
