Eli was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and very passionate about history which you could feel. She speaks so many languages and has a lot of input about cultures in general. Very well traveled woman and we thoroughly enjoyed our day with her on a private tour. Highly recommend spending the money for private tour. Request Eli!

Our driver and guide were excellent. The unusual part was that they didn’t purchase tickets ahead of time. We had to wait while our guide purchased yearly passes as there were no tickets left for sale. The explanation was that they wait to purchase tickets until the cancellation without fee period is over. I have not heard of this type of process before. Other than this part the day was amazing.

What a day! Would happily do the tour again as Eli and Roman were fantastic. We were picked up on time in a luxury van and our tour guide, Eli, was waiting outside our hotel to greet us. While we drove to Versailles she provided an excellent background for our day trip. Eli walked us through the gardens and then took us to the Chateau. We walked through the chateau which was incredible. Afterward, we had time for a small lunch then off to Petit Trianon for the last part of the day. Again, Eli was great with providing historical facts and telling us great stories of the people who lived there. We would happily take this tour with Eli and Roman again next time we are in Paris. It was a truly magical day. Thank you ever so much Eli and Roman!

As promised, we were picked up by a van at our apartment with the driver Azlan and our private guide Diana. Both were very friendly.
We visited the gardens and castle, then chose to do the small Trianon and the gardens over the big Trianon. Diana is a wealth of knowledge and very friendly.
It was a great tour overall and we would take it again and recommend it!
Thank you, it was awesome for our teenage kids and us!

The tour was fantastic—informative, fun, and really well put together.
Our guide, Ilya, was incredible. He was super knowledgeable, organized, and knew exactly how to keep us engaged the entire time. His ability to switch between languages so effortlessly made the tour even more impressive and inclusive. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does and takes pride in sharing it with others.
Our driver, Aslan, was also a huge part of what made the day so smooth. He was polite, professional, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable the whole ride. His calm energy and great driving let us relax and enjoy every moment.
Together, Ilya and Aslan made the whole experience seamless and memorable. Highly recommend them both!

This was a custom tour. We had been to Versailles before and wanted to avoid the mobs and long walks so we asked for just the Grand and Small Trianons and Hamlet Our every expectation was met. Our driver was timely, safe, car immaculate. Guide David was terrific—knowledgeable, good mix of humor, stories, facts. He found perfect photo-ops, and went out of his way to make us comfortable. Great team!
