We have both been to Paris before and this was a great trip made perfect by this tour in the first day. It is a great way of reminding yourself of the city or seeing it for the first time so that you can pick and choose what you go back to see. We were very fortunate with the fantastic sunny day so the top was rolled back and everyone was smiling at the sight of the old CV trundling through the streets. You are at the mercy of the traffic jams but our driver added a little bit of time on the end. I would advise you book outside of rush hour times so that you see more. And fingers crossed for a dry day. We had a brilliant time.

This is a great way to see Paris. It was my second time here, but I still thought it worthwhile. Only thing that would make it better was a little bit of time to stop and take photos.

Lot's of fun!

Do it! Great fun driving around the city of Paris. Our driver, Louie, was delightful and helpful and spoke beautiful English! Each time we stopped for a photo, people came and wanted information about doing a tour. Now that's advertising! Since both my husband and I drive Citroens in Australia, this 2CV tour was something special for both of us.

GREAT TOUR!!! Francois was the best tour guide. He knew all the sights and shared some unique anecdotes about different buildings on our tour. Picked us up right at 9 am and we wove through the traffic of Paris. It was so cool to be in a convertible. I could just hold up my camera and take pictures with no barriers. We were only there a short time so this was the perfect way to see everything without worrying about the metro or getting around. The best thing about our trip to Paris I would say by far!

This car trip was so awesome , our guide was Jeff he was extremely knowledgeable and courteous . Tip do this at the beginning of your trip so you can plan then where you want to see more of . We left it till the last day and there was so much more of Paris that we could've spent time at but had to leave sadly . Would highly recommend this tour ! Fantastic !!

Excellent trip, fabulous views of Paris by Night. Driver very informative and gave us loads of photo opps. Highly recommended, it was a highlight of our trip

Review by: Gary D	July 2011
This was a terrific way to get a quick overview of all the major places of interest without being anchored to a large sightseeing bus for several hours. The ability to interact with our charming and wonderful guide/driver was invaluable, which again, could not be possible with a "canned" tour of the city. She was an added unexpected treat and provided invaluable information to help us plan the rest of the week.

''Love it'' the young chap was full of so much information showing us things we would never had seen

Review by: Kim I	June 2011
Antoinette, our driver and guide, was a delight! It was the perfect tour to do on Day One as it gave us an understanding of where the major attractions were located, and plus we actually got to see them straight away. The car was an attraction in itself and received many admiring glances as we drove through city streets. A great introduction to Paris!

Review by: Pamela C	June 2011
This little car was able to take us places the buses could never get too. The young driver had a real passion for his beautiful city and the wonderful hidden treasures he was able to show us.

Review by: Ronald S	April 2011
This was a fun little jaunt around central Paris (Notre Dame, Les Invalides, Eiffel Tower, etc.). It gave me the chance to ride in the legendary 2-cv before they disappear altogether. The driver was a college student and super friendly. It gave me the chance to practice my French.

Review by: Michelle H	March 2011
This would have been a great way to see this wonderful city had it not been winter and raining. Because of the uniqueness of this vehicle, sightseeing in the rain didn't really work. However, the young driver was very knowledgeable and we still enjoyed the experience.

Review by: Pippa H	March 2011
Such a fantastic way to see the city, and our guide was really knowledgeable. Having owned a 2CV years ago it was really lovely to be in one again and zip around the city on a beautiful Sunday morning... just recommend an early start as you'll miss the traffic and see loads!

Review by: Sharon S	November 2010
We had a fun time with Clemence in the Citroen driving around Paris and being shown the sights. We found her heavy accent a little hard to understand at times but overall a good fun thing to do.

Review by: Hilary R	November 2010
Our 2CV Tour gave us just what it said on the tin and more...it was a fantastic road trip around Paris, excellent Driver and Chaperone. Hotel pick up was added bonus. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Review by: Michael D	October 2010
This is a great way to see a lot of the city if you have a limited amount of time in Paris. The guide Jeremy collected me at my hotel at the time agreed upon and showed me around Paris. He was very knowledgeable and stopped anytime I wanted to take photos. This is definitely a must do when visiting Paris to get a great introduction to the city.

Review by: Beth P	October 2010
my husband and i were really looking forward to this however it was disappointment. the driver did not offer any interesting insight and spoke very little english. i would not recommend viator or book in the future.

Review by: Joanne L	September 2010
This tour was so cool. Thank you :-)

Review by: Barrie E	September 2010
Brilliant! Loved our tin-box 2CV, and how effortlessly our driver weaved in and out of bonkers Paris traffic, whilst giving us as individualised a tour as we wanted. Highly recommended.

Review by: Michael S	August 2010
Great way to see the city. Toured with very nice Sorbonne student who stopped whenever possible to take some pictures, but it gave us a good foundation on things around the city since it was only our second night there.

Great way to spend a Sunday morning.

What better way to see Paris! On Bastille Day evening...a personable driver, willing to show you where the Parisians are. Beautiful ride to see the crowd on the steps at Sacre Coeur waiting for the fireworks. My 15-year old granddaughter loved the little Citroen!

Review by: Anne S	July 2010
If you only do one excursion while in Paris this MUST be it - we did the 10pm tour and saw all the wonderful public buildings illuminated along with a glimpse of Paris nightlife....all with our own debonair English speaking guide!

Review by: Amanda C, United Kingdom	June 2010
Having booked several trips whilst I was in Paris, I can honestly say I think this is one of the most worthwhile and a huge amount of fun! My driver, Charles, collected me from my hotel as arranged, and although it was raining at the time, suggested it was best to roll back the roof to maximise the effect, whilst gallantly offering me his hat to protect me from the rain! This was definitely a suggestion well worth taking as the view through the roof enhances that you can see through your windows. Charles was both interesting and charming, and it was a pleasure to race around central Paris with a local, as well as good fun when other tourists spotted us in a car so quintessentially French - we must be in several holiday pictures other than our own!! This trip is highly recommended - make it part of your trip and you won't regret it. The sun came through in the end making this a really unforgettable day.

Great way to get a quick, quirky feel for the city. Our driver was very friendly and helpful.

My son and I decided to take this car at night, and our driver was just fabulous. He took us behind the scenes of Paris. It was absolutely amazing! We saw a side of Paris we had never seen before. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Review by: Michelle C, Australia	January 2010
This was a great experience! We took the Citroen 2CV tour within hours of arriving in Paris, and it was a wonderful way to begin our time there. We saw all the major tourist sites as well as some quiet side streets. Even though our driver was French, he spoke English quite fluently, making communication a breeze. This tour was definitely the highlight of my stay in Paris.

Paris after dark in a Citroen is not to be missed.

Review by: Linda S	October 2009
The driver was 25 minutes late. We were about to leave. She was very young and not experienced as a guide. We could barely hear what she had to say. There were not many photo ops. The car was cute.

Review by: Kevin T, United States of America	May 2009
Our guide was fantastic, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and an excellent driver. I'm 65 and always wanted a 2CV. I've been to Paris many times, but she made this memorable for us both. My wife still raves about it, and the driver took some great photos for us too. Definitely the highlight of our Paris holiday.

This is hands-down the BEST tour we have ever done. Ever! I think everybody who goes to Paris really should take this tour. The driver was incredibly friendly and informative. The car - a convertible! - was fantastic, and there really is no better way to tour around Paris. We felt like royalty, and really can't stop talking about how much fun we had in the Citroen.

This trip was absolutely fantastic! It was worth all the money and wouldn't think twice about repeating it next time. The car is just THE BEAUTY on 4 wheels, timeless classic, and big fun to ride in. We had great weather so we could drive with roof open even though it was middle of February and freezing cold outside, inside it was nice and warm. Driver was pleasant young man with excellent English and lots of information about Paris.

Review by: Gloria G	October 2008
Great fun - it was my husband's birthday and we both love the 2CVs. The driver was a little sick and so wasn't very happy, but we saw all the sights lit at night and would do it again.

Review by: Clyde M R	September 2008
Driver's English was not too good. I knew more about what I was seeing than the driver could express in English.

Review by: Adrian H, United Kingdom	August 2008
We really enjoyed this tour. Our driver/guide was very friendly and helpful and showed remarkable driving skill in negotiating the Arc de Triomphe. Great fun and highly recommended.

Review by: Gautam K, India	May 2008
This was definitely a strange but great experience.

Review by: Tina B, Virgin Islands-US	May 2008
I wish this had 5 stars. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Paris. Be sure not to miss the 3-hour night tour...magical. We felt like celebrities in our classic 1968 Citroen! We got "thumbs up" and smiles by most of the Parisians all night long! Also, our driver/guide could not have been more charming and accommodating.

Review by: Margaret B, Australia	February 2008
This was a very special experience. In the three hours we saw all the sights of Paris in our little Green CV. This was better than any coach tour!!!

Review by: Victoria H, Australia	November 2007
The whole night was a hit! The drivers were great fun and certainly added to the overall pleasure - nothing was too much trouble for them. We were able to stop for photos on request. We thoroughly recommend it as a great fun way to see the sights of Paris.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2007
It was absolutely perfect until one of the Citroens broke down and we had to push it up the hill, though that did make for some great pictures and funny stories. A wonderful way to see and be seen in Paris.

Review by: Dorothy M, United States of America	April 2007
Great tour! Great driver! On time, no hassles, a lot of fun. Fabulous!
