The price included also one piece of lakerly, but the box was empty. It's not about the piece we didnt eat ( we bought a whole box of it anw) but it doesnt seem right to pay for something that was advertised and then not get it. Other than that I would recommend it!”

“Se supone que era un tour por la ciudad por los lugares más importantes, pero tenían una actividad en el Moulin Rouge, entonces después de que se bajaron los de la actividad, se olvidaron de los que quedamos en el tour y ya no continuaron con la actividad, se pasaron la mitad de los monumentos. No les recomiendo que hagan el último tour porque ya se quieren ir seguramente. Además pagué por el crucero en el Río Siena y dijeron que no tenían espacio para hoy y me dijeron que fuera de nuevo otro día, y era mi último día en paris. Tuve una pésima experiencia en general.”
