Paris Illuminations Tour With Moulin Rouge Show And Cruise Option

Tour was average, poor audio, there was no priority queuing up at Moulan Roughe & everyone gets a glass of champagne anyway.

Paris at night is beautiful. Moulon Rouge is everything i thought it would be and more. Thankyou for the memories

The performers were superb, the costumes dazzling. So many costume changes! The show is worth every penny. It’s a must do while in Paris.

Tour itself was good , interesting to see different points of interest around this beautiful city . I must add my booking experience was less than good , having to make a phone call on the day of the trip to get details and conferm all was in place , as tickets failed to download numerus times

All went smoothly and we enjoyed the show. It was very colourful and my wife loved it A great trip to an iconic venue

The tour was very disappointing. It was cold and wet the bus had a broken plastic window and the commentary was non existent. We were rushed through the city and lined up at the venue and felt everything was totally disorganised. We also had to pay 45 euros to catch a taxi back to our accommodation because we couldn’t locate the bus or the tour guide.

Nina was really good and attentive. Super organized. The moulin rouge show was a good time and I really enjoyed it. The night tour was really quick but we saw some good stuff.

Return bus never showed at 01:30 am in Paris. Metro doesn’t run that late. Long walk back to the hotel after midnight in a foreign country.

Paid for the entire experience and got only a partial one in return. Never let Viator fool you into believing that the river cruise is on the same day. You'll be left with no refund and absolutely no river cruise. As a company who values customers , it left a very ,very sour taste in the mouth. I'd never advise anyone to book Viator in the future. Travel guide was good ( moulin rouge was flawless of course )but again , no support even from her side for the customer I'd say. Not a great experience with this tour. Wouldn't recommend it.

This is the first time we’ve experienced a bad tour with Viator. First, the guide Andre was very nice and tried hard. But Viator misled on this one… it clearly states you get a cruise ticket but non was given. Guide said it was “an option” but option was never given in the app and it clearly showed it was included. That’s no big deal, the issue was how the illuminations tour and show were operated. The illuminations tour simply seemed like a weird bus ride around Paris to kill time and charge more. Then when you get to Moulin Rouge they hoard you in like cattle and have our group all sit in these tables all the way in the very back that are positioned sideways with 6 of you at the table. Very crammed, poor sight of stage, and you have to turn your head sideways the entire show. Also, they bring you maybe a half glass of cheap champagne when you sit down and don’t even give you an option to buy a bottle, get water or anything else; no server ever came by. We would’ve been happy to buy a bottle, etc. and spend money if they had asked. You are so crammed at the table too and can’t move whatsoever, while it was super hot and there was no way to even get up and use the restroom. Do not choose this tour just purchase direct through Moulin Rouge. Our entire table had the same complaints. This is the first time I think I ever left a bad review but this one deserves it so people know what the real deal is. I totally considered it false advertising and it wasn’t inexpensive. Best part of the tour was the beginning waiting to board the bus taking a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower. We didn’t even take the bus on the way back to avoid the nonsense and bus seats were hard on our bottoms, and on the way there it started to rain and the roof was leaking!?! Also Ferreira is cheesy, go see the actual Moulin Rouge.

We live in Las Vegas, NV so we have seen quite a few spectacular shows, but this one was over the top. The intimacy of the venue and the costumes! Feathers, Feathers and more Feathers. The quality of the production and the talent of the performers was top notch. Yes, the venue is a little “tired” and crowded but that only adds to its charm and legacy!

It was fun we had great seats. We could have used a little More info about the champagne service. We opted for the half bottle, sat at a table with 5 other people a couple and a single person, who all also opted for the same. There were 2 full bottles and one smaller bottle. We were all poured one drink as we sat down, but then didn’t know what was happening after we finished our first glass. No one came to refill so we did. It would have been better to know that we were all sharing the bottles. In that circumstance some people might feel that they get short changed on the amount of champagne they get.

Over priced. It was a large group. We booked the Moulin Rouge inclusion with half bottle of champagne. The meeting point is a street corner and when the operator arrived there was no direction to be orderly and people started jostling to speak to the operator. There was no narration on the bus and we simply drove from a street corner near the Tower to the Moulin Rouge. The windows were dirty so no chance for puctures. The tour guide was more interested in checking off his list. No commentary at all on the way about the attractions despite another couple listening to some sort of commentary on their phone speakers. We were late due to traffic fue to the late arrival of the bus at the eiffel tower so had pretty much the worst seats in the house with our backs to the stage. Although the operator advises there are drop offs at locations afterwards, the guide basically told us to do our own thing (discouraged us) and to get a taxi. NZD$800 for that tour was a TOTAL rip off.

The bus tour was ok. Several of the other patrons could not get the app needed to listen to the information. Useless without the app. The dinner cruise we had on the seine the night before had more spectacular views of Paris at night. The Moulin Rouge was well worth the time and effort. The show was great! It was drizzling and we had to wait for the bus before the tour started. Before the tour started, the tour organizer asked us for our Hotel. He said they would drop us off 10 min walk from our hotel. After the show, it was light rain and the drop off accommodations wouldn’t work for us. The bus was parked at some restaurant a brief walk from the show. We couldn’t remember which way to get back to the bus. We got a cab and they were pricy between 35-55 Euros at that time of the night.

Great way to see Paris all lit up at night and the food and service were both good. They also took photos that we purchased that were fun.

Basically, there was no tour. We drove around in a bus but you need to download an app for the commentary but they don't provide earphones (bring your own!). The show was wonderful though and the guide gave us help with which stop was closest to our hotel to get us back safely.

The tour was exactly as advertised. The guide was extremely conscientious. At the end, the tour bus dropped us off steps from our hotel! I just wish they had told us to download the app needed for the bus tour beforehand, because by the time we were told, we weren’t able to download it - no wifi.

Thewere as no audio on the boat and we were not told we needed headphones.. The bus driver left us stranded at the Moulin Rouge. We will never take this tour again and would not recommend at all.

Although Moulin Rouge was a great show we met at a prescribed meeting point and the tour was unable to drop us off at our hotel so an extra expense to book an uber(not happy) Nit really sure if the tour added any value. Should have just booked to go to Moulin Rouge. The river cruise we couldnt do and was told to come back the following day, yet another expense for us to get there. Would i recommend this tour?? Probably NOT. See MR yourselves

The Moulin Rouge Show was spectacular! Beautiful women, costumes and music. Champagne was delicious. The bus tour itself was very disappointing. I realize it may have been because it was so close to the Olympics, but it was still not like anything described on your site.

Great way to see the city at night. The show was great and the staff was accommodating and fun. Meeting place was great location.

Loved everything!!! The city tour and the sow were amazing! Also as an added plus we met the loveliest couple from South Africa and spent our time with them!

Illuminations Tour was awful! The tour Guide was rude & very uninformative. We didn't know we have to download something to follow the tour. The tour Guide could have pointed out sites but did not do so. He at times would say something about jumping a few numbers ahead to listen & see the next site. We were supposed to see all these sites from the tour bus and we did not see 1/2 of them. It was very confusing to try & figure out what to listen to as we were approaching it. I surveyed other guests on bus & they thought it was a horrible tour. The Moulin Rouge show was good but the seats were not good! Definitely not booking with this company again! Their dinner cruise on the Seine we took a few days earlier was great. This Illuminations Tour was the worst.

Moulin rouge was amazing but you are very packed in and my husband had to sit twisted in his chair with half his back towards the stage

The Night City Tour was very good as you do get to see the Paris attractions all lit up for the night. The guides were only there to hand out the tickets to see the Moulin Rouge and to do a head count, they didn't provide any narration. For the narration, they provided us with a link to an app for the tour. The Moulin Rouge is campy, outrageous fun. If you get embarrassed or are uncomfortable with women's breasts on display, then this activity is not for you! It is outrageous and flamboyant and funny! It's sort of Cirque de Soleil meets Vaudeville. You have to hoof it back to the bus immediately after the show because the bus driver will not wait. The driver will drop you off at various main attractions so that you can make your way back to your hotel easily.

Skip this tour and book directly with Moulin Rouge. Save some money and headache. If you want a night tour, book one of the Citroen 2V tours instead. To start, the meeting place is chaotic. Multiple tours will be meeting around the same time, and we had to speak to several people before we found the right one. Then, even though the bus was there, we were told to wait to board. There were several older people who had difficulty with this, and my wife has back issues, so it was frustrating. On the bus, we expected a guide considering our info said there was an English guide available. However, you are handed a laminated map and told to download an app on your phone. Most people’s phone were either dead (it was late on a travel day) or they didn’t have (and we weren’t provided) headphones. So it was just noise and we chose to just try and enjoy the view. When a few folks complained, the person on board started saying a sentence or two about what we were going by in English and Spanish. About 45 minutes into the bus ride, we were dropped off a few blocks from Moulin Rouge and told where to meet the bus later after the show. We then walked and got in a long line. While in line, an employee told us that I could not go in because i was wearing shorts. It would have been great to know this earlier or at all before arriving. But not to worry, a tourist shop nearby sells pants for 60 euros. We saw multiple men have to go and buy pants or socks. Lesson: men are not allowed to show feet or legs. But women can dress in the tiniest dresses imaginable and be fine. My wife called this the oddest case of double standards ever. Other than that, the show itself was great once we were seated. The do sit you with others if your group is small; we sat with a few folks from this tour. The champagne was nice, but we didn’t even open one of the three bottles we were given. Then we decided to skip the bus back to the starting point. Because the metro was no longer running and taxis wanted ridiculous fares in cash, we rode Lime bikes back to our hotel. So, lesson learned, have a plan for how to get back as the metro will be closed on weekdays after the show lets out.

The city tour was cancelled without any advanced notice. Moulin Rouge was entertaining. Wish someone had given us notice.

The Moulin Rouge portion of this trip was fantastic, however there was no info given regarding bus tour portion so we assumed it would be after the dinner & show. Could our we had to book a time on the bus, so we went another evening. The WIFI on bus did not work so we could not listen to the guided tour. The young man on the bus did his best to show/tell us where we were, however the communication from this company was lacking. Do the Moulin Rouge for sure!

DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM. We paid for the Night Tour and the Moulin Rouge Show. Pick up as fine and smooth. However the tour was meant to least for around 1hr-1hr half.. which obviously include site seeing. It starts near the Eiffel Tower but just drives around. No stopping, on or off to take in the sights. Hardly saw any landmarks (to which we put off during the day as thought be seeing them at night). The ride was extremely bumpy and uncomfortable. We arrived at the Moulin Rouge within half hour and were told to get off the bus and basically do whatever until the show at around 11ish… of course everyone including us on the bus were extremely annoyed the fact we hardly done any sight seeing! When questioned ‘Clement’ claimed it was his first day on the job and knew nothing about it. When tried to contact the manager or customer services no one was answering the phone! The tour stated that it was a drop off after the show, when we advised them of where our hotel was they told us ‘we don’t go that way, you have to make your own way home via metro or taxi’ and for those who were getting a lift back by bus they had to leave before the Moulin Rouge even ended! Onto the show - Cannot fault this! It was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will def come back and do the show again! Within our ticket we had complimentary champagne. The service was excellent. The seats that were provided to us were at the back but they’re raised and for myself I thought the view was perfect. Could see the entirety of the stage! Again such an amazing show!!!! Such a down side that the start of the night was ruined. My partner felt very upset and this trip was a Birthday Gift and he felt that he let me down due to the poor bus tour. Save money. Do sight seeing yourself. It’s so easy to travel around Paris with a Travel Pass for couple of days and Book Moulin Rouge Separately!!

We went on the night tour with moulin rouge. The night started out great. But if you want to listen to the night tour you had to download audio version on your phone, well our phones don’t work overseas so couldn’t hear anything. They then dropped us off at Moulin Rouge and told us the meeting point where the bus would pick us up which was 200 metres away. They told us the show finishes at 1.10am and we have 15 minutes to make our way down. As soon as the show finished our whole group got up and walked to the meeting point. We waited there with 17 other people from the bus. The bus never showed. We all had to make our own way back to our hotel. Cost us $95 euro as there was 6 of us. Next night husband went to the meeting point from the night before and actually spoke to the guide that was supposed to be there the night before and he insisted they were there. My husband disputed it and said how can 17 people miss the bus. He just didn’t care and said we were late which was impossible as we left straight after the show and it didn’t take 15 minutes to walk 200 metres. This tour company has a monopoly on all the tours and just don’t care. Do yourself a favour and just get an Uber to the show and after the show as the taxi drivers rip you off at that time of night too. Ours would have cost us 25 euro. And we were not staying far from the Eiffel Tower. Other than that we really enjoyed the show

The bus left our tour group at 2am in really cold and rainy Paris, despite following the instructions of our tour guide to the tee. We left the Moulin Rouge show right away to go to the meeting point. Our tour group waited for 30 minutes to an hour for the bus. The bus apparently left before the show was over and they did not even inform us. One of our tour groupmates had to ask other bus drivers in the area to find out that they left us. The city tour itself had audio guides but it was not even arranged according the sites we passed through. They also did not pass through every attraction that was in the audio guide. The moulin rouge show itself was good but we recommend finding other ways to get tickets.

Amazing tour around the sights of Paris And incredible moulin rouge show Would highly recommend this tour

Moulin Rouge show was amazing ! However, the city night tour was not a tour at all, only transportation to the Moulin Rouge. I was expecting more from from that first stage of the package.

Moulin rouge show was fantastic. Meeting point and city tour was a complete shamble, guide did not even explain the evening just gave us the show card and said hang on to the show card. We only went past 2 places in the audio guide before being dropped off by bus driver - guide didn't even come with us - 1 hour before show. No explanation we'd be standing waiting for 1 1/4 hours in a huddle. Only bit of info guide gave in beginning was to meet bus 15 minutes 3 minutes down the road from moulin rouge after show. The bus did not wait 15 minutes. It drove off. We did not get 1 1/2 hours of the tour as listed and PAID for. I recommend booking moulin rouge direct for a much more pleasant evening as show is great.

The evening bus tour definitely needed running commentary. I was very disappointed that we were not picked up after the show as per the plan, and our group of friends had to pay for a taxi back to our accommodation. Not very happy.

The Paris Night Tour was a bus ride only. No Rep on the Bus to coordinate where we were, with the online info provided, nor any audible info on the Bus itself. “Truly a dismal& waste of time & money”, we three couples agreed. Moulin Rouge was excellent!

I purchased 3 tickets for this event. Let me first start with the show...it was very nice. However, the Paris city night tour was TERRIBLE! The tour guide met us and told us where the bus would be at the end of the show. It was an easy location, only about one or two blocks from the theater. Right after the show, the 3 of us used the ladies room and then went to the meeting location. There we met a couple with their 2 daughters who remembered us from the bus ride. We waited there for about 15 to 20 mins. The couple decided to leave and take the train back to their hotel. We in turn did not know how to get back to the hotel, we did not speak the language and had no idea, other than to take a taxi, how to get back to our hotel (which we ended up doing) You left 3 females, in the middle of the night, alone in a county we did not know how to navigate. In addition to leaving us, the actual night tour was terrible. The item the tour guide provide and the laminated paper did not work. Therefore, you could not hear the history of the historic places we were passing. Besides all that, it has been difficult to speak to someone from Trip Advisory directly. I am asking for a refund for the tour portion of this event. It was not worth the money. The show, in turn was very nice.

Our Night Illuminations Tour was cancelled. The tour operator said that there was not enough time to do the tour and make it to Moulin Rouge. He stated w would get a refund. We did not get advance notice however and we had to walk a long distance to catch a bus to the Moulin Rouge. We were not prepared to walk quite so far in the cold and dark. The Moulin Rouge Show was fabulous and we enjoyed it immensely!!

Moulin Rouge is worth seeing! We arrived, went into the building and seated immediately. The Night Tour was about 45 minutes with an audio guide that was not in sequence with the sites. Still, it was beautiful to see the lights of Paris. The only concern was that our group of 4 was dropped off on the Eiffel Tower Bridge to wait for another bus to take us to Moulin Rouge. We were left standing for a while not knowing what to do and no one made contact. Eventually it worked out. Great evening in Paris.

This wasj a waste of money. Tour guide late to arrive at meeting point The bus tour of Paris was a one hour ride around locations that were close to effiel tower. Driver brought his children to ride the bus while he drove. They were unsupervised and a distraction. The headsets didn't work but eventually found a port that was working. Hard to hear on very noisy bus with lots of rattles. Similar to a Big Bus ride except worse. Then we switched to another bus which was to take us to theatre. The focus was giving you two plastic cards and rushing you into the theatre. Upon arrival there was someone who took your card and rushed you into theatre. No table assignment or instructions or where to be seated. We sat at table in middle but after everyone finished the chaotic seating we were told we could not sit there and we're escorted to table next to last row still available. Show was great but we were told we had to leave the show 15 minutes before it ended if we wanted to rejoin the bus for ride back. We took a cab so we could see the entire show. I would buy my own tickets and cab over next time. Totally disorganized and disappointed except for show which you can buy on your own and get better seating

No one showed up we would like a refund!! Totally disorganized no warning they were not going to show!

Lot of time was waisted on this tour. We were told to be there 20 to 30 min prior to departure. Got there at 8:30 PM for a 9:00 PM tour. We had to wait until about 8:45 PM for the guide to come. We were put onto a tour bus. It was a 1 hr, tour around the city. Once we were done, we waited 25 min, before being transported to the Moulin Rouge show. We got to the show at around 10:45 PM. Had to wait again until about 11:15 PM before we were seated. I wish this could have been done with less time waste, as we could have done a lot of other things during this wasted time. The tour should have been 2 hors, but was only 1 hour.

The Moulin Rouge show was very good, but the Paris Bus tour was not good. My husband and I had to share a iPad and headphones. (They ran out) We had trouble working the iPad and there was no one to assist us.

The bus tour was terrible The technology was not good and did not keep up with where you actually were at Moulin Rouge show was great

A little awkward with the planning and the distribution of tablets. Tablets are great, however it took them two to three highlights to work properly. The Moulin Rouge was great! Next time I would book the Moulin Rouge and opt to separate the night city tour from the Moulin Rouge. There was no time to eat until after the Moulin Rouge show which was about 10:30 pm.

Our tour was fantastic. The only way to see Paris, safe a secure on a bus where you can see all the highlights without walking the streets worried you may get mugged. We also were given free tickets to do the river cruise which was another fantastic way to see some of the impressive architecture and top spots in Paris all while feeling safe and secure. The Moulin Rouge show was fabulous as well. Exactly what we expected.

Our tour guide Bruno drove us round some of the most beautiful areas of Paris whilst sharing with us some incredible facts! Bruno very quickly learned our interests and adapted the tour/talk accordingly. He even timed our experience to arrive at the eiffel tower in time for the spectacular lights and offered to take photographs. Bruno was diligent in making sure we got into the show at the moulin safely, and was waiting for the group promptly after the show. Couldn’t be more pleased that we had booked this excursion and removed any worries about transfers etc!

I had the friendliest tour guide and the show was amazing! It's a must do while in Paris! I missed the show the first time I went, but I'm so glad that I did it this time.

It was really good. The tour guide was excellent. The show was good. The only issue was the taxi driver almost getting in road rage fight.
