On May 23rd, what time of day will the tour group be meeting for the first time? 

Our bus tour on May 23 will begin 2:00 PM. This allows all travelers to arrive and enjoy lunch on their own in Paris.

Does our tour of the Eiffel Tower include the opportunity to go all the way to the top of the tower?  

Due to time constrains we our tour of the Eiffel Tower goes to the second floor. If you wish to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower we can help arrange this. This would be a great alternative for travelers that do not wish to attend Disney Paris.

The recommended attire is dressy-casual for La Petite Chaise, and business casual for the Moulin Rouge and Seine Cruise.

The exchange rate between the Euro and the US Dollar has changed, making the US Dollar stronger.  Will there be any change in the cost of this trip, because of the favorable change in the exchange rate?

We based the trip price off of a favorable exchange rate and secured our reservations early, so no adjustments can be made.
