Our guide was Martina and she was really nice and knowledgable. She showed us few of Gaudi houses, walked us through Barcelona and then brough us to helipad. Helicopter ride is absolutely amazing experience and it is really not a problem even if you're afraid of hights. Martin was there to send us all of. Boat trip was done on our own and you can use it next day. Absolultely recommend this!

Bought online but tickets wouldn't scan when we boarded. Also the bus service was ending more than two hours early which would have only given us the ability to lap the city without utilizing the hop-off part of the tour. That information was not provided online, so there was no value for us.

Must seeing when you are in Paris.

You can enjoy Versailles palace and the Gardens. Tickets come with no problem, but there may be a wait time at the security chack in the entrance, sa it’s better to be there before the opening hour.

Fantastic way to see the sights. Easy to find the stops . Not only do you see the sights, but the audio describes the history behind the landmarks.

My special compliment to tour guide Mateus for his excellence services. We had enjoyed with great satisfaction. Muchas Gracias! Tony Foo Singapore
