Is hotel pickup really included, and what if I'm staying outside central Paris?

Yes, pickup and drop-off from your hotel are included. Confirm your accommodation address when booking; the operator will confirm if locations outside central Paris are reachable.

What monuments and landmarks does the 2-hour tour cover?

The tour focuses on Paris's major illuminated landmarks. You can request specific sights (Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Seine bridges) when booking to customize your route.

Is this tour entirely by car, or do we get out and walk?

The description indicates a panoramic tour with hotel-to-hotel transport. Clarify with the operator whether stops for photos/short walks are included, or if it's primarily a drive-past experience.

How many people can fit in the private vehicle?

The tour is private and uses a minivan or small coach, but the exact passenger limit isn't specified. The quoted price (EUR 995) typically accommodates 2–4 adults; confirm group size requirements and pricing adjustments for larger parties.

What's the minimum booking size, and is EUR 995 per person or per group?

EUR 995 is shown as the starting price; this typically represents per-booking cost for small groups rather than per person. Contact the operator to confirm pricing for your party size.

Can I request the tour on a specific date or time?

Yes, hotel pickup is flexible, so you can select your preferred evening departure time during booking. Earlier departures (around dusk) offer better lighting for viewing and photography.

our driver Kenji had so many stories and help with the bags at both ends was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar transfer we tried in Cape Town.

our driver Amani was brilliant and the driver waiting with my name on a sign was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and bang on time, 40 min ride.
