We took the trip within a few hours of hitting the city. Best way to see the sites and get some solid history - Mona Lisa was awesome! It was just myself and two friends so we had a private tour and she didn't let us down. Was also open to just hanging and having a glass of wine with us. Highly recommend the tour - a great way to start our vacation.
