Go with Camille; she’s a great guide! - Great/friendly guide & driver; nice driving conditions & knowledgeable/experienced guide. A bit rushed BUT I don’t think with how crowded it was it would have made a difference with more time. Would recommend booking this tour!

A great and instructive experience. - The experience was fantastic. Cinthya Ramirez was a great guide in our language: Spanish. Knowing, clear and very detailed in her exhibition, she delved us into the story of Sainte Chapelle! Pleasant and instructive experience.

Very Responsive! - So we had a horrible experience with delays and actually missed this. Panicked, I contacted our tour operated, and they told us they had informed the guards of our scenario, and while they wouldn't be there to guide us, we could still get in. This was sold out for days and it was a clean and easy process to still be able to see this even after some major flight delays. Extremely responsive company who were truly amazing even though we missed the tour time.

Tour Guide Not Kid-Friendly - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate which was great. What was not great was that she was biased against kids and didn’t bring headsets for each of our three kids on the tour because she said some kids don’t handle the equipment properly. This was one of the last tours on our long European trip and my kids had properly handled headsets on about a dozen prior tours so this was very disappointing.

Guide sick, so no guide, but got tickets - I was sorry to learn that our guide was sick, and that a substitute could not be found. I appreciated your offer to send the tickets and refund the guide portion of the cost. Would have enjoyed the guide’s information, but sometimes people get sick. Glad the guide didn’t share the germs.

Guide was ill, did not cancel prior to tour - NO REFUND given, YET. - The guide did not cancel ahead of time nor give us any type of information BEFORE we arrived at the tour when she announced she was ill and would see if she would need to stop the tour early. She did indeed stop the tour less than halfway through. We have attempted to use the proper procedure to request a refund, at least a partial refund, and have not received any response from Paris In Tour or Trip Advisor.

Unclear directions to connect with your guide. Couldn’t find her!? - We looked everywhere but could not find our tour guide with a “yellow fabric bag!” So we paid for audio guides. Disappointed…
