Sacre Coeur. The guide arrived just on time and seemed listless. Had to be prompted and sometimes could not answer the questions asked.

I am so disappointed. The guide was late and used his other job as an excuse, calling it an emergency. He seemed shaken when he realized he was touring Black people for the day. He didn’t seem to know that the group consisted of seniors/young children and was agitated.
This guide didn’t show us anything that was supposed to be on the itinerary and we ended up on a bus and ferry just driving by the landmarks. While on a bus he began arguing with a fare checker about another person riding the bus. That wasn’t even his concern. What if he had been arrested? The conflict continued after we got off the bus when it didn’t have to. I’ll add that the fare checker was a man of color.
This guide also has issues with the wealthy and complained about them. That also made me uncomfortable. I shouldn’t know your personal issues with anyone because as the guide you don’t know who you’re touring.
This guide was also rude/misogynistic as he didn’t talk to my mother or myself for majority of the tour. He mainly spoke to my stepdad until he was told that I was the main person and the purpose was for my son to get the Information for school. He would also walk ahead of us or act as if he wasn’t with us. It was so disappointing to go all the way to Paris for a less than mediocre experience. I would have been better off on my own trying to explore rather than waste $500.
I hope the other guides are far better than the man we had to endure. The best part of the tour was when we parted ways at the end of the day. For him to say that the things in the itinerary are not what he shows people means he’s doing his own thing. I paid for a certain experience and I got nothing close to it. There’s a lot more I can say but this should be enough to give you an idea of what you may encounter. If your guide’s name is L.-G., you may want to ask for another guide. Even if you’re not a tourist of color, he just plain didn’t seem to enjoy his job. If you’re going to spend money on a tour you should get the best tour.
