Experiences with France Tourisme?
 
Has anyone used the company France Tourisme for tours in Paris? I can't find any information on them and want to make sure it's a reputable company before I book a tour that ParisVision and Cityrama don't offer.

I almost took one of their tours a few weeks ago - I picked up their brochure at the hotel and went to see them in person at their location on 33 Quai des Grands Augustins. I got competent and polite information and came away with a good impression. It just so happened that a tour I was considering didn't run on the only day I had time for it.

They're at www.france-tourisme.fr - I would imagine that you can find notices at www.tripadvisor.com and such sites where people post their experiences - have you exhausted your searches there and on google etc. etc.?

When I compared their prices with those of, say, www.euroscope.fr and others, it made france-tourisme look very reasonable!

Hope this will work for you.

Thanks, WK. I found limited information on this company on the web - through TripAdvisor, I think - and didn't think it was sufficient. I'm glad to know that it does have a physical building, not just a scam website, and that they at least were polite and helpful to you. Anyone else have experience with them?

That site has been around for years and is listed on the Paris Tourist Office website... it should be ok.
