Fantastic tour
We had a fantastic time visiting Giverny, Versailles and Trianon. Highly recommended tour. Our tour guide Ilya was very knowledgeable and had been very helpful throughout the day.
We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children, 10 and 16.

Great tour and great tour guide!
We were a group of 4 and luckily had the tour to ourselves. Our guide Ilia is super friendly, patient and knowledgable, especially in history. We were not familiar with French history and he made sure we could understand and responded to our questions tirelessly. He also was happy to share with us aspects of life and other travel tips in France.
As we visited during the Olympics, we were informed that an attraction of the tour may not be available on the day and we would only know upon arrival. Ilia communicated the issue with us honestly and handled the situation professionally by providing us with different options and listened to our opinions to customise the final arrangement.
Ilia and his team also catered to other adjustments for our group. They did not mind arranging pick up for our group at a location that is outside of their usual list of pick up spots. We were also given plenty of time to explore each attraction and was always reminded that our time there can be extended if we wanted to.
Big thank you to Ilia and his team for the great travel memories that we will treasure for a long time!
