The City Case, Inc.Reviews of thecitycase.paris

Buying tickets from City Case was very convenient, much better than buying them in France. We underestimated the jet lag and had a extra day or two's worth of tickets when we left. The agent's recommendation that we could haul luggage down & up subway stairs after we got off the airport bus and needed to get to our hotel near Victor Hugo's place resulted in much pain and an expensive visit to a chiropractor. Perhaps if I were 30 years younger it would have been OK. A taxi would have cost more, but would have been well worth the extra money.

The passes were easy to use and we got around Paris with little confusion I recommend them highly.

As with everything else, do your home work, read all the fine print and be realistic about your abilities to travel to and take in sites, museums and attractions in the amount of time you are going to be in Paris. Everything in this package was outlined well. Even the size and design of the pass was great....fit in my pocket! The only thing wrong was my personal expectations for being able to take in more than one could actually take in. I bought the Museum pass and in one week's time I could barely get through 5 places. Unless you are staying for an extended period of time the 20 + museums and attractions on the museum pass are impossible to even travel to in one week. It would be nice if they had packages with only selected museums for less money. The line at the Louvre for the Museum Pass did not exist the day we went there, we had to wait with the general population, as we were told by three different Louvre guides. Versailles also did not accommodate the Pass, although that was mentioned on the pass. We were able to circumvent the lines at the Musee D'Orsey, the L'Orangerie and at the National Ceramic Museum (although there was an extra fee there). I was unrealistic in thinking I could travel to more than one venue a day at my age. When I packed two museums into one day I found myself rushing. Did not want to rush! I ended up not even using the extra tickets I purchased for the River boat ride and the Opera House, so that was a waste of money. So be realistic about how much you can do. Having the museum pass was great, made things easier. Just cutting the lines at the Musee D'Orsey made me smile.....that 2 1/2 hour line was worth 100 bucks in my opinion!. The metro pass on the other hand, was WONDERFUL! The Parisian metro is the best public transportation system I have ever ridden on. With the Metro Pass I was able to use it multiple times a day. If I had to do it again I would definitely get the Metro Pass and ask for another Museum Pass....perhaps 7 choices for the week with a reduced rate would be a better way to offer it.

The delivery was fast and sooner than I thought. They communicated what was going on with order. Package contained what I ordered. Answered any questions I had within 24 hrs. Too soon to really rate because I haven't used the package yet

When you are browsing online for different places and things to do in Paris and The City Case pops up as additional information, it pays to give it some attention. I found no less than three independent sources that referred me to The City case for additional information. They need to improve on their customer service feed back especially when some part of what's ordered is out of stock. I will say when contacted about the matter they seized control on resolved the problem very quickly.

We are so looking forward to our trip to Paris and the Paris Pass will help to make the trip less expensive and enable us to see lots of the city and its history. We are visiting Paris on a side trip while attending a family wedding. Hoping for good weather and a great experience.

We went to some smaller museums that we may have ignored if we didn't have the museum pass - - and they (the smaller museums) were terrific. I really loved the boat ride on the Seine - overall - I was really glad that we got the museum pass/transit package before the trip.

We bought the museum pass and the underground pass. The museum pass was good though it didn't get us out of standing in enormous lines in France and there were a few places or exhibits that it didn't cover - read the fine print. The underground pass was definitely worth it. We never worried about coins or fares to anywhere even Versailles. Just walked through. Make sure you order it in advance of your trip.
