this was a gift for my mothers 50th. the day began with being at kings cross sation for 6am there was really know point being there that early cause the tour guied was there at 7 am hmm .we got to pairs around 10 am.and had bit of a walk to get on our coach(not much leg room if you got long legs). i have to say i was dissapointed that we didnt get of the coach to see some of views ie notre dame etc. however we did have a river cruise which was kinda nice and the same time rubbish i couldnt see any great views. Eiffel Tower was great had a lovely lunch great views . to be honest i will def go back to pairs on my own not with a tour group the whole day felt rush. the tour guide was great she knew alot and she was very friendly.

Comments about Virgin Experience Days Luxury Paris Day Trip and Lunch at the Eiffel Tower for 2:
It was an early start at St Pancras, but everything went without a hitch. I had never been on the Eurostar and was thoroughly impressed. Our tour guide Charlotte was lovely. A great way to seee Paris in the one day. Yes it's a long day but well worth it. My husband and I were impressed at the express treatment for the Eiffel Tower and were taken straight to the front of the queues (awesome. The food wasn't the best but the views are one in a million. The Mona Lisa was the highlight of my day. Although the tour guide will charge you for the private tour, I suggest you just pay entry and go on your own as all of the major pieces of work are easy to find. You dont get to see much of The Louvre but in all fairness it would take a week to do this anyway. In all a fantastic day!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Virgin Experience Days Luxury Paris Day Trip and Lunch at the Eiffel Tower for 2:
The day started off early at St. Pancras, straight through to Paris then onto an escorted coach tour of the main highlights of the city. We saw Place de la Concorde, Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe and the Notre Dame so don't forget the camera! The tour guide was French and she was very knowledgeable about the city. There were a few perks (we got VIP entry to the Eiffel Tower - there's no way I'd have wanted to wait in that queue!) The Altitude 58 restaurant was a bit of a tourist trap I must admit. You'll end up sitting with other people so it's not particularly private, and the food was all pre-made and packed. Then it's onto the Seine for a river cruise, and finally we finished up at the Le Louvre , however there wasn't much time to see a lot here (and it's an extra [$]s).It was a great experience, but pricey and you can do it yourself much much cheaper. Obviously it's Paris and you need more than a day. It's worth noting that if you're prepared to pay an extra [$] you can change the return ticket for a different date and make a weekend of it.
