A full-day Normandy D-Day tour from Paris with Utah Beach Museum, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery plus lunch.
“Maja was a great guide. Great job explaining all relevant information and providing interesting little known information.”
Cruise the Seine from the Eiffel Tower with a glass of Champagne, live music, and a 3-course gourmet lunch with wine and top sights.
“We absolutely loved this tour. The food and service were top notch. The experience was great and the views were even better.”
3-course lunch at Eiffel Tower’s Madame Brasserie with Thierry Marx style seasonal dishes, included lift ticket, and big Paris views.
“The experience was amazing with a wonderful dining experience. Food was excellent as well as the service. You mentioned a guide and there was no guide to be found. We had to find out the where and when all by ourselves.”
3-course lunch inside the Eiffel Tower with Chef Thierry Marx, priority security, and first-floor views. Great value for a once-in-Paris meal.
“We enjoyed the experience from entry to exit. The staff were pleasant and attentive. Seating by an interior window provided a view during our meal. We appreciated the French cuisine on the fixed holiday menu. The cost of the excursion could be improved by offering a non alcohol meal option.”
Monet’s gardens, Versailles Royal Apartments, and a 3-course riverside lunch in one Paris day trip, with priority tickets.
“This was the best day! Starting with the gardens and learning some of the history on the bus trip, and then finishing with a tour of the Palace. Both very different, both exquisite. Lunch was fabulous, I am glad we included it. Our guide was spot on. The rain didn't dampen the day in the slightest!”
Paris to Champagne for 8 tastings, cellar tours, and a classic lunch, plus vineyard views and a pro-led tasting lesson.
“Our day trip to Champagne was amazing, we were very fortunate to have Cecile as our guide. A lovely person and very knowledgable of the area.”
90-minute Seine lunch cruise from Port Solférino with 3-course meal, dessert and coffee, gliding past Eiffel, Louvre, Notre-Dame.
“I arrived late for the lunch cruise, so spent more to reschedule for a dinner cruise. It became one of our highlights of the trip. It completely surpassed my expectations! The food was incredible!! The singer was delightful and knew how to engage the passengers. And of course the sights were magical!”
Normandy D-Day sites from Paris with a guided coach day, lunch by the port, Utah and Omaha highlights, plus Pointe du Hoc.
“Book this trip and ask for Sam! This was much more than a guided trip. We left early and got to Utah Beach and the fantastic museum well before lunch. On the way our guide Sam (a professor) gave a thorough talk about the origins of WWI and WWII to ground us in why the wars happened and the necessity for the Allied attack at Normandy. The museum was a great resource filled with detailed information and Allied and German uniforms and artifacts up to a B-26 bomber! Lunch was tasty and quickly served with three choices of local recipes and locally-produced hard cider. The post-lunch visits to a fortified…”
Cook a French 3-course lunch in central Paris, with optional Latin Quarter market shopping and guided wine pairings for small groups.
“Worth every penny. If you’re on the fence about doing this cooking class, let this review alleviate any concerns. This was hands down one of the best activities that we did in Paris and one of the best cooking classes I’ve ever taken (and that’s said by someone who always takes cooking classes when they travel). The entire experience was fun, rewarding, and I learned a lot about the science of cooking. Frederick was our host and chef and he was incredible - knowledgeable, funny, warm, and knows how to make everyone feel included. Recommendation 1 is to take the full class with the market tour, it makes the cooking…”
Day trip from Paris to Giverny and Versailles with Monet’s gardens, Hall of Mirrors, skip-the-line tickets, and a 3-course lunch.
“This was a return trip to Giverny and Versailles - but it had been many years and we enjoyed having our son and his wife with us to experience it too. My husband's mobility is compromised this year so we had a TravelScoot with us for him to get around. We were delighted how the guide could get us through Versailles (with some behind the scenes elevators). Giverny was harder (gravel roads, etc.), but found a lovely place to stop and get a quick bite at the end of the tour time.”
Priority Eiffel Tower lunch at Madame Brasserie plus a 1-hour Seine cruise, paired with a quick coach tour of Paris sights.
“Nice bus ride with an experienced tour guide. Really nice lunch within the structure of the Eiffel Tower. The cruise was subject to whenever we wanted to go with a one year time limit on having the experience. Overall, highly recommended trip.”
Small-group Champagne day trip from Paris with 8 tastings, big-house cellars, family lunch near Reims, and plenty of Champagne lessons.
“We visited a large champagne house and a smaller one. They both gave great information about making champagne. We ate lunch at the smaller one, it was so very nicely done. The champagne tastings at both were lovely. Joel was an awesome guide and driver. He even brought little treats for us. Wonderful time. Thank you!”
Taste 5 French wines, including Champagne, paired with 5 cheeses near the Louvre. Learn labels, regions, and smart pairing in 2 hours.
“Just getting round to writing a review. My wife and I loved this experience. The Guide ( I forget her name, I'm very sorry!) was so attentive and very knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend this experience enough, such an amazing way to spend an afternoon in lovely Paris ❤️”
Bustronome takes you through Paris on a glass-roof bus, serving a chef-crafted 4-course French lunch with panoramic 360 views.
“Bustronome Paris was an unforgettable experience! Delicious food, stunning views of the city, and amazing service. Dining while passing the Eiffel Tower and other landmarks made it truly special. Highly recommend for a unique experience in Paris!”
Paris day trip to Giverny and Versailles with skip-the-line tickets, Monet’s gardens, palace highlights, and lunch by coach.
