I took a tour with Guide Nowon, and it was fantastic! Not only did they explain the artworks wonderfully, but even though I was traveling alone, they took great photos for me. I had considered using an audio guide, but it was much more convenient because the group had a separate entrance line.

We booked our Big Bus Paris tour through Klook, and it was incredibly easy to use. After booking, we received an instant voucher that was hassle-free to redeem directly at the bus. It’s a great way to skip the confusion of local transport. The best part is the convenience—the bus stops right in front of all the major tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame. We didn’t have to waste time navigating maps or walking long distances between landmarks. We simply hopped off, explored, and hopped back on when the next bus arrived. If you want a no-hassle sightseeing experience that saves your legs while offering great views from the open-top deck, this is definitely the way to go. Highly recommended for first-time visitors!

I took a uber to the pick up point at the Pullman hotel at 8:30 am before the bus leaving at 9 am where the tour agents has a table inside the hotel that make u feel so welcome . the lady in red was so nice n friendly that she offer all passengers a tea or coffee w a delicious biscuit . we can wait till the actual time at 9 am inside the hotel rather than wait outside like my Mont Saint Michel tour at the Pullman Effie hotel . that hotel need u to buy €8 coffee / tea n coke w crossaint than u can use that toilet n wait outside in cold weather before the tour leave ! both are Pullman hotel in Paris but they have different perception for tour agency

Thank you for working so hard to manage and explain to so many people for so long. The Louvre is so vast that my child got bored at times, but it was definitely better to move around while listening to the explanations...

On the first day, starting from our accommodation near the Louvre, we took the Big Bus to the Orsay Museum, the Arc de Triomphe observation deck, then went to the Opéra Garnier, saw Lafayette, and returned to our accommodation by Big Bus. On the second day, we had a Parisian breakfast, took a historical English guided tour around Notre Dame, moved to the Eiffel Tower, took a cruise, and visited the Louvre Museum. We were mostly satisfied with everything.

Easy to locate, start at any point, and enjoy the ride! The audio tour made the 2 hour drive worth it! Pick carefully the time you board though! More traffic makes the loop take much longer. I recommend going in the morning, and doing one whole loop first to appreciate the audio tour before hopping off.

I watched the PSG vs. Metz game. The seats were close to the opposing team's goalie in the first half. But I could see well in both halves, and it was great to feel the enthusiasm of the cheering section. Before booking, I saw reviews from people who couldn't see the game because the dates had changed. Thanks to the reviews, I kept checking the game schedule on the official website. It was confirmed about 3 weeks in advance, and it was moved up a day from Sunday to Saturday. If you are planning a trip, please note that the dates may change. It was great to see Lee Kang-in starting and playing well, and I was happy to see the other players too. It ended late at night, but there were so many people going to the subway station that I was able to get home safely.

Queue at 7:00 PM, doors open at 7:30 PM, food served at 8:00 PM, performance starts around 9:00 PM to 9:15 PM. There's also a warm-up show during dinner. Overall, the performance is rich and wonderful, but I really don't understand French cuisine 😅. But I still highly recommend choosing tickets with dinner, as the seats will be in the middle of the first floor. If you only have champagne tickets, the entry time is later and you can only sit on the side of the first floor or on the second floor.
