“Antoine was a very informative guide and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a rainy day, but it was still a really fun day. Our guide had to be flexible because when we arrived at the train station, it turned out it wasn’t running that day- but we pivoted and he got us there! It was fun to shop for our lunch before getting on our bikes to head out. It was a long day, so we were all tired by the time we got to the last gardens- so I recommend not making any plans for after the tour. I had to cut my time in…”

“Very pleased with this tour. The guide was superb, so knowledgeable and gave us really interesting information at every point during the visit. The audio equipment (radio/earpiece) really helped as the Palace gets very busy and rooms are typically crowded with people. At the end of the official tour, the guide leaves you to continue looking around for as long as you want too, which was great as the huge gallery of art in the chateaux takes time to appreciate - amazing.”

Lunch was fabulous, I am glad we included it. Our guide was spot on. The rain didn't dampen the day in the slightest!”

“We are on the bus returning to Paris. The bus is extremely hot. The driver and tour staff did not respond to our request for air conditioning. One of our friends felt sick from the heat. I thought the buses had ac, that was what was advertised, but we didn’t have air either way. Our guide was good, but he was a full in and had to work with two tours. No one checked us back on to bus. We had to assume it was the correct bus. Very disappointed with this tour company.”

“We very much enjoyed our visit to the Palace of Versailles and our guide Helin was excellent. Her knowledge of the Palace was stupendous and she does a great job explaining each room as we went through them. Some of the rooms were quite crowded so to have someone there to show you what to look for and the importance of it was invaluable. Without it we probably would have rushed through the crowded rooms and missed many amazing artefacts. After the guide tour we had plenty of time to explore the gardens and have a bite to eat and some very lovely French ice cream at the cafe before…”
