VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Not the best

Not the best tour almost fell asleep on the bus. Needs to be a real tour guide not a recording on the bus. The tour on the river was ok not the best. The tour guide recording on the boat was broken. The tour is like a 5 out of 10.

I think there would a better way to do this tour. It was a very large group and the double decker bus was full. All announcements were done in four languages( all by the same tour guide which was impressive) but it was annoying. It was hard to see the illuminations from some seats. The boat was absolutely packed and it was impossible to take photos unless you were seated next to the window. The double level boats would be much better. The commentary through the headphones was often in competition with a tour guide over the microphone.

I expedted a different tour. The tour started at the time but it was not dark and we had the illuminations bus drive first. If we want to see the coty with lights, it has to be completely dark. The cruise was OK. Again, I expected more. It was too crowded - I thought it was going to be more private with the people that was on the bus only. Instead we had a huge group of other people joining, making it difficult to get nice seats.

The Seine River Cruise was great but we didnt see any illuminations as the sun sets late in summer.

The tour on boat was OK. The tour on the bus was not that fun, you could hardly take pictures because the driver was going really fast when passing the major attractions.
The tour is not that cheap and I did not see a lot of added value.

The lights in the city did not illuminate until 3/4 of the way through the tour. This was very disappointing. The illuminations tour should not be offered during the summer when the lights do not come on until very late - or the time for the illuminations tour should be pushed back to take into account when it actually gets dark.
