- Scenic5497850 contributionsGood experience.Everything went to plan. Received an email the day before with the ticket information. I called to ensure all was in order, so maybe that helped and is advised. But otherwise highly recommend.Written 13 June 2024
- 678vijayap0 contributionsBest ExperienceAmazing ride also easy booking, received tickets on time my boyfriend would like to visit again with them. Thank you soo muchWritten 13 June 2024
- Wander030802343910 contributionsBeautiful views of ParisAmazing views of the Seine River. Very low cost for doing the cruise. Least expensive of all the things we did while in Paris.Written 29 April 2024
- 205gentrys0 contributionsNo showed up!No one showed up! I didn't get any communication as to why. I called the designated number to help but no one returned my call.Written 26 April 2024
- 356lizaa0 contributionsSuch a great experience!We did lots of walking from Notre Dame to the Louvre Museum and ended at the Latin Quarters. We learned so much during the tour. We tried new food and drinks. Our guide took lots of great photos. It was such an amazing experience!Written 26 April 2024
- juliafJ4196EK0 contributionsDisappointment!The ticket barcode we received by email was not accepted by the venue as they said it was a third party vendor that they couldn't confirm. We had to buy more tickets for access to the venue and lost the money for the tickets we had purchased through Tripadvisor. Buyer beware.Written 13 November 2023
- 758junemarieb0 contributionsVendor did not send tickets as promisedTickets were promised the day before but not sent until 10 am that day. By then we had left hotel and did not have cell service. The company was rude and condescending in their treatment of me.Written 4 November 2023
- 176gwendah0 contributionsA view from the ArcWell worth booking the flexible visit, we arrived soon after the opening time but already a long queue had developed. So it was brilliant to be able to skip the line and quickly climb to the top. And such wonderful views from up there too!Written 25 October 2023
- Camper7365080 contributionsARC was CLOSEDWe booked tix only to find the Arc was closed. We were unable to secure our boat tix. Whole evening was a bust. Waiting on REFUND!Written 18 October 2023
- June B0 contributionsDid not provide ticket at time promisedWhen you book you are sent a voucher that is not your ticket. Why would a reputable company not send them. I was concerned because I did not plan on purchasing an international phone plan. I tried to contact the tour operator and talked to Viator support. They said the ticket would be emailed the day prior. I didn't feel comfortable with not having the ticket in advance. But the company had a no refund or cancellation option. The email said the actual ticket would be sent 1 day before the booking. Because of this I had to add an international data plan which I had wanted to avoid. The day before I still had not received the ticket. The morning of my planned visit there was nothing in my email or app messages with a ticket. I was unsuccessful in getting ahold of the tour company. I contacted Viator and Trip advisor and they told me to contact the tour operator. I was sent a ticket after Viator apparently contacted them. I received it at 9:45 am. However, as I was leaving for the days activities I purchased a ticket directly from the Arc de Triumphe site. Total waste of money. I wasted a lot of time and incurred a lot of stress due to this company a) not sending the ticket at time of purchase and b) not sending the ticket the day before as promised. Also spent additional funds for data plan and purchasing a ticket after the stated delivery time had passed.Written 2 October 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wouldn’t use this tour company, but really liked the guide (at least his personality), so giving it three stars.
I booked this tour 2 months ahead of time. Day before tour, got an email from Yo Tours saying they couldn’t do the tour in the morning tomorrow, but could go in afternoon that day.
We couldn’t go that day, tried to contact your company 3 times, they never responded.
The day of the tour, I contacted Trip Advisor to get a refund. TA contacted Yo Tours and they then found a guide. Nice guy that walked us around the city, but didn’t have as much knowledge about city as other guides.
Hate to give a bad review as I know running a tour company is tough.

Hi Chris, Our apologies for the miscommunication prior to the tour about the timings, we can completely understand your disappointment and thank you for being accommodative, as you might be aware that it's a very busy summer season in Paris and this tour is designed to give the glimpses of different side of Paris than the usual touristic highlights with specialized tour guide which has caused the reshuffling. Hope to serve much better next time. Thanks, Yo Tours

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
