Our guide Arthur kept us interested throughout the tour with his excellent knowledge on the history and culture of Paris, showing us some less well-known spots in the city. The highlights of the tour were the cheese shop where we got to sample some French cheeses, and seeing the house of the Harry Potter character Nicholas Flamel.
This was my first time on a group coach tour. I typically travel by myself, so I went in with an open mind. I don't have a lot of patience, so it was hard waiting on other people, but overall wasn't too bad. I knew the schedule would be hectic, but if you want to see a lot, this is the only way to go. You do NOT get a lot of sleep on this tour - so be prepared - sleep on the bus! The tour was very organized and much props to the tour leader, Darius for being so patient and friendly with everyone. It was so convenient with the bus stopping every 2 or so hours, so we could get out and stretch, use the toilet, get something to eat, etc. I enjoyed all the cities we visited on this tour - we went to places I would never have gone to on my own.
There were only 15 of us and I'm thankful for the great group of travellers. I see this tour as a teaser to coming trips as we didn't stay long enough to explore more of each city.
