8th Arrondissement tours

definitely enjoyed it! Good thing we had enough time to visit saint-michel and nearby areas, it was such a beautiful scenery. I’ll definitely come back. btw, be prepared to walk so much stairs! wear comfortable shoes.

Although the starting have some hiccups, but the overall journey is great, the tour even end in time. The guide Mario bring us to very nice spot for pictures, we even sat along for a little picnic lunch. The weather is blessed as well, after we left the rain started. But it is sad that nobody want to go for paddle boat.

Very professional and helpful hiking guide! The views near the beach and on the mountain are nice. Too hot for returning trail in August.

The journey is very long, and about an hour and a half after departure, we will stop at a rest stop to use the restroom and buy food. However, there were three buses in this trip, and it took some time to wait in line because there were quite a lot of people, but there was still enough time. The tour guide would also count the number of people before starting the bus. It was about 12 o'clock when we arrived at the beautiful Mont Saint-Michel. There is a shuttle bus that can take you from the parking lot to the entrance to save walking time. The stay was 4 hours.

firstly, Nicholas is amazing. he is humorous which was great for icebreaking. he is very on time during pickup, will call you to coordinate nearer to the pickup time. he tells us about the little stories here and there, not too much such that we cldnt have a good rest, and not too little such that we were bored. I believe the tour grp is split into different vans. our van had 8 ppl so it was quite cosy. the van is spacious, clean, and comfortable. the other reviews weren't kidding when they said WINDY roads - there was barely any straight roads when in the mountains, but straight all the way when coming back to Nice. we got to visit 2 small towns (Castellane and Sainte Marie), stopping otw to get down from the van to take pics, and Nicholas also allocated 30mins for us to do paddle boat - 10eur/hr (he knows it's a highly sought after activity!) however, I do feel that the paddle boating should be longer as time do pass by really quickly when you're on the lake. overall great experience, money well spent! a fun fact is that Nicholas knows the people in those small towns - when he causally introduced us to a honey lavender producer small shop as we were just happen to be walking pass, his friend actually gave us a discounted price when we bought from them! so cute!

Lovely experience getting to visit such an iconic location in France. Our tour guide was great, very communicative, and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the trip. Highly recommend! Just be mindful that the place can get very crowded.

Korean guides are expensive, so I found them after looking around! The day I went, there were 8 of us and everyone was polite and kind, so it was easy to get around! My English is not good, so my communication with the guide wasn't perfect, but she tried her best to teach me and communicate :) I think I'll miss each and every member I went with today^^ The tour was a little cold, so I couldn't see much, but I did get to see the local market in Castellane and showed them the valley in the middle, and because of the time, it was cold after eating in Mustier, so I couldn't go see the Mustier Star ㅠ But I was satisfied because I saw all the Verdon photo spots and even took a boat ride! It would definitely be better if I could speak English. The day I heard, there were 2 cars, so I made a separate reservation with my companion, but we ended up taking separate cars ㅠ If you find a companion and go, I think you should make a reservation together! If you get carsick, you really need to take motion sickness medicine because you'll be going on a bumpy road!

great value combo package, pleasantly surprised that the Louvre access led us straight to the Mona Lisa itself and no time limit to explore the Louvre. The Mont St Michel tour was also great, comfortable bus, clear instructions and lots of time to roam the area (and you will need it since it has a lot of inclines and stairs). if you wish guided tours for both, you can talk to the guides and add extra. but for us, the free and easy way is enough
