Great tour of Versailles and Giverny - Fantastic experience. Our guide Giles was very knowledgeable and was able to use his knowledge to see things very efficiently, as well as showing us some areas that rent as obvious to unguided folks. Well wort the money.

Great tour - We had a great visit! We started with giverny, and then Versailles. This was the way to go because Monets garden/home is not very big so it gets crowded fast. It was a pretty place especially if you’re into flowers. Versailles was very impressive. You could easily spend more time there but it’s very busy. Our guide was very informative at both locations.

Absolutely Amazing Day Trip! - Merveilleux! Our tour guide, Jean Paul was awesome! He was right on time to pick us up at our hotel. He was so friendly, patient, kind and thoughtful! We enjoyed every minute of the tours. What a beautiful day we had at Monet’s garden and home! JP was so knowledgeable in both arts and history. Dropped us off at a local crepe cafe just before we go into Versailles. The food there was great as well. JP definitely knows the areas. He was very well prepared for our tours with good visual presentation from his tablet and print outs. He got us into the palace without having to wait. There were unbelievable arts to see. JP gave us fantastic information during our walk inside the palace and the magnificent garden! One day is not enough to spend at these two locations. We we’ll definitely be back to explore on our next trip to France. By the way, JP is also a great photographer too 😍👍🏼 Merci beaucoup Jean Paul!

Great private tour - Great tour with JP! He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Day started early but was worth it to just barely miss the crowds in Giverny. Was great to talk to him about all things France and French culture as well. A bit pricey of a day but very worth it

Do not recommend this company! - We had originally booked a private 9 person tour to Versailles and Giverny that dwindled down to 2 people. We paid upwards of flight tickets for two from US to Europe for those tours. In return we got a driver who barely spoke English. At Versailles we were linked with another couple for the tour. Needless to say, we could’ve rented a car and driven ourselves to these locations and had more freedom than be rushed. It was highly disappointing tour. We did not get a tour guide at all. I do not recommend this company at all. Be aware!
