A great place to take the kids for a walk with great value for money. There are many rare specimens and replica animals that cannot be seen in Taiwan. There is also a botanical garden and zoo next to the park, where you can spend a whole day.

Loved our cruise on the River Seine. Boarding was smooth and efficient. The commentary was available over the loud speakers on the boat, and also via a phone attached to every seat. The cruise is an excellent way to see the beautiful landmarks dotted along the river. It worked out well for us as the jetty is just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower. We did the day cruise and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended.

As soon as we entered the museum, our tour guide immediately took us to see all the must-see treasures in the Louvre. So we didn't miss anything we wanted to see, but we strongly recommend that you choose our session, because more and more people want to see Mona Lisa later, so it will be difficult to find and squeeze in to see Mona Lisa in the front.

The three hours I spent with guide Kim Bo-ra were truly precious, and even I, a layman in the art world, was able to have a more in-depth museum tour thanks to the guide's explanations, so I am so grateful. I would like to sign up for another tour and meet you again. Thank you for giving me precious memories.
