About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Julia B0 contributionsAn amazing fabulous day!A fabulous day from start to finish. Have a good nights sleep before this trip as it is an early start and late finish. I took my mum for her 80th birthday and she loved it. She is a fit and active 80 so did not struggle with the walking but some on the trip did. Not that there was a lot but we did walk from the boat to the Eiffel Tower and had to queue to get in even though we had fast track access. The meal was lovely though and the wine kept flowing!! We were exceptionally lucky with the weather as it was 16’c, sunny and blue skies so this made the boat trip even better. You do and see a lot in one day, more than you think. Key highlights: Eurostar, boat trip, meal at the Eiffel Tower, exploring the gardens near the Louvre and buying fresh macarons at Maxims!! Top tips, St Pancras is busy and hectic so be prepared for this even at 6am. Buy a good breakfast before you board and take snacks as we ate lunch about 2pm, Our guide, Anna, well what can you say, was funny, knowledgeable, organised and so personable it really brought a special atmosphere to the day. She is a star!!Written October 4, 2024
- DayTrip084897089380 contributionsAmazingAnna was an amazing tour guide. She made the trip very interesting with her knowledge and her humor. Would highly recommend for anyone interesting in taking the tour!Written October 4, 2024
- Adventurer6696820 contributionsOne of a kind experience!Anna was so funny, professional and disciplined with the schedule so that we could enjoy all there was to see. Her "professional tips" made us successful in maximizing our stay in Paris. She impressively got to know each individual in our large group! Would certainly use this travel service again and ask for Anna as our preferred guide!Written October 4, 2024
- jamessH1560NG0 contributionsFull tour, but too fastIt was a complete experience, we relied on professionals who took us to the most beautiful spots, so we really got a full tour of the area. Honestly, it felt a bit rushed, but that wasn’t the organizers' fault. We just wished we could have spent more time in some places and less in others, which is pretty normal. We also checked out two really cool pubs. There's no way we would have found those if we were traveling on our own.Written October 4, 2024
- h0llYSImItH0 contributionsBring snacksIt was so fun we loved it as a family. We got lots of photos. But there cloud of been a lot more food options but overall a great trip.Written October 4, 2024
- 398nancyd0 contributionsPerfect for Wizard Loving Muggles!This is well worth seeing for any wizard loving muggle! The stage sets were unbelievable. I won't ever see the movies with the same eye again! A few suggestions to improve your experience— skip the tour bus ride to & from & find alternative transportation so you can stay as long as you want. Warner Brothers provides free shuttle service to and from Euston Station for the hours they are open. Skip the headset purchase, too. It only interferes with the rest of the tour, which is very informative. Enjoy a butter beer at the halfway point, then continue on to see more.Written October 4, 2024
- mariaisabelf2610 contributionsMust see for Downton FansFun day exploring the Cotswolds and Highclere Castle. Guide was fun and knowledgable and our somewhat big group was organized and pleasant. If you’re a fan Downton Abbey, don’t miss this tour!Written October 3, 2024
- rome80town0 contributionsA Lot of Driving Around EnglandOur guide and driver were good. I think the trip description could have been better. I didn't realize that we wouldn't stop in the Cotswolds; that's on me for not studying the description but, we flew through so fast that it was hard to even take pics. The stops at Stonehenge and Bath were good. The description says "Duration: 12 h". I assumed that we would be at our drop-off point in the 12th hour but, the tour ends in Stratford-upon-Avon in the 12th hour. You then have another 2 hours to get to the drop-off in London. Plus, by the time we took the tour of Shakespeare's school, all of the shops were closing. It's really a 14 hour trip and there are no outlets to charge your phone and no wifi on the busWritten October 3, 2024
- Gracepyon05180 contributionsWonderful sights and tour!Our tour guide James and driver Robert were wonderful. Robert was pleasant and drove us safely all day from London to Stones to Lacock to Baths and back to London. James was informative and funny, and gave us suggestions of shops to check out. The tour is all day from 7:30 AM to 8 PM. I recommend bringing a cordless battery charging case because your phone will run out of battery. Sadly the bus we rode did not have a charging portWritten October 3, 2024
- DHIREN S0 contributionsDay visit from London to ParisAnna was very attentive and gave good directions. She conversed with everyone that made it easy. She was also funny and explained very well. Enjoyed the trip!Written October 2, 2024
- B2080MYlukes0 contributionsIt was Fantastic!!I loved learning about the mystery of these stones and getting educated on where they might've came from. I also loved hearing other visitors ideas and how curious they were about the history of Stonehenge.Written October 2, 2024
- Debra B0 contributionsExcellent overview tour of beautiful historic areas of England.James our tour guide was an excellent guide with great and interesting information along the way. He made sure that everyone was accommodated and provided time to explore in each area. Robert our bus driver did a fantastic job and was friendly and courteous. We couldn’t think of a better way to spend one of our days in England.Written October 2, 2024
- X4821XEbrendas0 contributionsA very enjoyable day!Stonehenge was awesome! Just enough time around each stop to know where you want to spend time again in future. James and Robert were super! Bus ride comfortable and safe.Written October 2, 2024
- kaitlynsW248NX0 contributionsVery good experience:Such an amazing experience! Full day but not at all tired! Experience was engaging and gave just the right amount of time in between each destination! Good amount of time to go off and explore on your own and so much fun with the tour guides James and Robert! Tour guides shared such a depth understanding of the knowledge of each location and was so interesting to hear, also gave good backstories to where names of places may have come from. Overall a very delightful experience!Written October 2, 2024
- 790robinf0 contributionsEXCEPTIONAL TOUR!!!First of all, we had an amazing brand new double decker bus to spend the day on this tour. Nicholas was our tour guide and was both entertaining and informative. He is a local guy who has a lot of personal history to share which he delivered with both humor and humility. He is a very likable chap and made the day go by quickly. I was most impressed with the relationships he built quickly with the tour group of the day as well as the kindness he showed the local residents. The stops along the way were all exceptional, and Nicholas took us on a brief walking tour before giving us time to explore further on our own. I enjoyed each part equally as they were all very interesting and engaging. He went out of his way to answer questions and direct us to local businesses that we were interested in. I strongly recommend the lunch in Lacock. The food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. This tour did make for a long day, but it was worth every penny. The 2 hour ride home was quiet and restful, and Nicholas gave us some great money-saving tips to end the evening as well. Overall a GREAT day!Written October 1, 2024

Ana, the tour guide was good, but did something wrong in last stage, due to which a mother and daughter duo missed the bus to Eurostar station for return journey. It was a tensed moment for others. In a new place it's difficult to find local transport in a short time to reach your destination. They managed to board the train 2/3 mins before the departure. What if they would have missed the train? It was last train to London and I heard there was no train on next day (Sunday)... would have been a terrible tour for them. Avoiding a details sequence of events.
Besides above incidence, overall it was a good trip. Of course, one day apx. 6 hrs is too short to cover a place like Paris.

Great trip definitely worth it if you are time-poor but still want to see the sites of Paris!
And relatively well priced when you take into consideration how much the Eurostar tickets would normally cost you as well!
Anna our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable and made the trip seamless for everyone!

The guide was great however the trip is not what expected. You see the Louve but only the food area. No time to see any of the museums. If you are late at all the bus will leave you. It happened to 3 people on our bus. They were left at the Effiel Tower Would not recommend

I couldn’t ask for more for a day trip to Paris. Anna, our guide, was amazing, patient and funny. We saw most key sites at some point. The Eiffel Tower workers were on strike, so we made an extra stop to the Louvre gardens and surrounding shopping areas, which was nice. I did find that our cruise had much less narration than another cruise that kept going by us, and I think a change in river cruise companies should be considered. But overall, this was an excellent experience to get some exposure to Paris!

Great day but would liked to have driven passed some iconic sites instead of what seemed like aimless drive through paris to get to the eiffel tower. Only shown arc de triomph from far away. Maybe even gone passed notre dame despite in being closed.
Anna was our tour guide and she was amazing. There were about 50 in the group and she knew all of us by name in about half an hr. Very knowledgeable and helpful

My family and I had a wonderful tour from London to Paris. Anna was our guide. She did a great job at explaining all the sites and making it fun. We met some friends on the tour. They happen to live in my area and we have remained friends. So if you get a chance please take this tour.

Our TOUR GUIDE, Anna was phenomenal and full if so much info about Paris. Incredibly fun and kept us safe and on point. 1 day was just enough if you want to dip toes in Paris. Bus tour and river cruise were excellent. So glad we went. Highly advise...ask for Anna as your guide.

Excellent day spent in Paris with Anna as our tour guide. It’s a fast pace tour and you must be very mobile to keep up. We saw the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Arc de Triumph and we ate authentic French cuisine. We opted not to have lunch with group and ate near the Eiffel Tower. Anna was exceptional ensuring we were all accounted for and provided great customer service. She’s friendly, knowledgeable and funny! A woman with a great spirit. I highly recommend this tour and hope you get Anna!! Premium tours is lucky to have her!!! Thank you Anna for a great day!

The train trip over was a neat experience. The bus from the train to the boat was one level an just whized by many things. Trying to take pictures through windows at top speed was no fun. First stop was the river cruise. This was nice. Then the group walked to the Eiffel Tower for lunch. We were given time to walk around before meeting back at the bus. I was traveling alone and got turned around. No one could help me find my way back and when I called the travel company they were of no help. I wanted them to get me in contact with out tour guide so she could give me instructions on how to get back. Useless. By the time I found my way back down to the water way the bus had left for the next destination. Since I knew they were going to the Louve I managed to catch a taxi there but by the time I arrived they had already gone in so I had to stand in the waiting area until they came back out an hour later. Safe to say I was very tired and frustrated. It would be a good idea if tour guide gave out their number to contact in case someone has an issue while on the trips.

The tour mentions free time. Is there enough time to go into the Louvre and see a few pieces before we leave Paris? What time do we depart?

We have booked for the 18th April but would like to visit the Eiffel Tower. I would like to book priority tickets. Could you please advise what time the tour and cruise will finish? Thanks
Written April 8, 2019
The guide has priority tickets, we did not have to wait in line, after the cruise, she took us across to the tower, and we skipped the line and got right in, we went up to lunch first and then had about a hour to explore before heading to the Lourve.

How do you get back to the Gare du Norde station at the end of the day? Does the tour guide take you there or is it just public transport that you have to use?
Written March 25, 2019
When you arrive at the train station in Paris, you get on a tour bus that takes you everywhere on the tour including returning to the train station.

I don't think so. The train tickets are dated. And you need your passport.
