We were picked up at the appointed time at our air BNB. We had a very lovely tour guide, named Eli and a very safe driver, Nikolai. Eli was fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a beautiful trip which I would highly recommend. Small tours and skipping the lines was fantastic.

Great value for the price! Ilya was very knowledgeable and provided wonderful insight into the history of all the places we visited weaving it all together. He was very attentive to the group and checked in often to see how we were doing. The time to stroll the streets of Giverny between visiting Monet’s home and heading to Versailles. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Paris.

We had a lovely day with our driver and our guide Daniel. Both were extremely friendly and accommodating. Daniel is so well versed in the history of the area. If you love art, history, gardens and exploring beautiful spots this is the tour to do. If you have Daniel as your guide....bonus

Fabulous. I don’t have the words to describe how wonderful, Diana, our tour guide was. The ride to Giverney and Versailles was extremely comfortable for a family of four with two adult daughters. Diana and our driver arrived promptly for departure and we stopped for coffee in advance of Giverney. Moving throughout Monet’s property was seemless with Diana, and I can’t emphasize enough how knowledgeable and relatable she was. We had limited time in Versailles and we never would have been able to navigate and come away with the knowledge, context, and understanding of the palace and French Revolution without our guide. Unexpectedly, the Trianon was probably a personal favorite - even though it was late in the day and everyone was tired and it was pouring rain!! I would definitely recommend this tour for others!

Both Versailles and Giverny/Monet Gardens are unique, unforgettable places to visit. Our guide, Daniel, knew a lot about history and facts from both sites. He also gave us lots of tips for best pictures and on how to take best out of the experience. Our driver, Nikolai, was very polite and ready on time to pick us up on each location. Everything went so easy and smooth. 100% recommended!

David was an excellent tour guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Driver was excellent as well. My daughter and I were paired with an affable Australian couple, so there were 6 of us in the Mercedes minivan, which was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. So glad I paid a little more for the small group option instead of the bus. David provided helpful commentary in the vehicle and at the sites, while also allowing us reasonable amounts of free time as appropriate for this trip’s itinerary. Our Paris hotel was outside the pickup area, so we met David and the driver outside the Opera Garnier. However, since the Australian couple ended their tour when we arrived at Versailles (pre-planned, as they had previously visited that site), I was pleasantly surprised when David offered to drive us directly to our hotel at the end of the tour, which they didn’t have to do and was out of their way, so it was very much appreciated.

Tour guide was great! Comfortable transportation with excellent driver. Versailles tour was incredible. The Monet gardens were so beautiful and the guide had lots of background on. She knew great spots to take photos and even had a good recommendation for a lunch spot. The only pieces of feedback would be that she is sort of soft spoken so sometimes hard to hear. I’d also like to suggest having other spots north of the city for pickup as the options were limited outside of central zones of Paris. Would book again!

Everything was well organized, our ride was comfortable, our tour guide was incredible. Alexandra was knowledgeable, kind, accommodating, thoughtful, and everything we had hoped and so much more. She was like a friend showing us around. This was one of the highlights of our several trips to France. What a gem of company.

Ilya was our tour guide. He was very informative and provided us history of each site we

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!

It was wonderful having our own transportation. Made the trip much more realistic. It is a long day with lots of walking and is joy for the faint of heart.
