Paris New Year's Eve Illuminations and Dinner Tour

Paris, France

For a New Year's Eve to remember, celebrate the arrival of 2012 in Paris! Raise your glass on the stroke of midnight on a New Year's Eve illuminations tour of Paris with a stop at the Eiffel Tower, and enjoy a three-course dinner, champagne, music and dancing at a local restaurant. It promises to be a truly memorable evening in Paris! Even better, you'll lock in plans for Paris New Year's Eve by booking early to avoid disappointment.

There's nothing quite like Paris at night- especially on New Year's Eve. Board your coach, sit back and watch Paris transform into the "City of Light" after dark. You'll learn about Paris's history through your on-board commentary as you tour the city's tree-lined boulevards with their animated cafes and brilliantly illuminated monuments and squares. The sights you'll see include the Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concorde Square, Avenue Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Trocadero and Notre Dame Cathedral.

After your Paris illuminations evening tour, you'll be dropped off at an exclusive Parisian restaurant - New Year's Eve bookings fill up fast in Paris, but the illuminations tour ensures a spot at one of Paris' local restaurants.

Choose to dine in one of the following Parisian restaurants. Enjoy a 3-course meal followed by dancing to see in 2012!

It was not what I expected. The little 45 minute tour was just OK but the Dinner at the restaurant was a horrible experience; super crowded, pecked with as much people as they could handle. they took forever to bring an under-cook plate that we did not ordered. service was rude and unfriendly. I definetly Do NOT recommend this tour.

The night tour was great but the restaurant selected was not ready for us and made us wait in the rain. There was no dancing and I was sat in the smoking section. This was a terrible dinner selection. Me and My son left before dessert because it was sooo bad and we did not want to ruin our new years eve.

Restaurant only so-so :-(_br/_ And 300 Euros for a bottle of champagne is overcharging !

Review by: Vance B	January 2012
this tour was misleading. The food was cold and overcooked. We waited 45 minutes just to get water, let alone service. We were packed in like cattle with no elbow room between strangers, and there was Absolutely NO dancing. I was told dinner and dancing. The one star is only for the lights tour by bus. Regrettable evening

Dinner was average and service was poor. More description should have been given about restaurant.

The tour through central Paris celebrating New Years eve was magnificent showing an illuminated and sparkling Paris. The following dinner was a set back though: the restaurant was much to small, the food was not particular good and it took forever to serve it. We did not finish eating until 1 o'clock, obviously the entry into 2011 did not take place in the streets of Paris as I expected. A better restaurant would have made all the difference.

Review by: Peter M	January 2011
Unfortunately we had taken a day tour of Paris the previous day which covered all the highlights of this tour. However, it was well organised and we enjoyed it._br/_ The New Year's Eve Dinner was superb and good value. The restaurant staff were very attentive and spoke good English.We had a great time.

The Paris tour was fantastic. The guides spoke five languages and took time to detail the sights. The tour showed you multiple views of main sights and the audio on the bus did not fail like most tours or be out of sync by an uncaring driver. The meal was served outside and that it was very cold took away a lot from the night. I had the impression I would SEE fireworks in Paris. I did not. The location made that not possible but the crazy people on the streets made up for that. I felt safer than in New York despite the crowds. Learn the French rail system before negotiating the rails. They are safe but there are some quirks. Everything is expensive but you have to do what works for you.
