Loved the tour! - Great day trip to two must-see sights! Oliver was a fantastic tour guide. He’s got the right personality for this job. We got such an education thanks to his expertise. The lunch spot was picturesque and it was sunny so we got beautiful pictures! As the other reviews indicated, the food was not spectacular but honestly having bland food on a bus trip is not a terrible thing. We were grateful there wasn’t a lot of fatty meat or melted cheese to digest on a road trip. And the wine is unlimited so if that’s your thing, Cheers! We travelled in a nice air-conditioned Mercedes van, everything and everyone ran on time. There were 13 on this particular tour and that was pleasant. The scenery throughout the road trip is another aspect to enjoy. It was our only chance to see French countryside and it’s just as charming as you’d imagine. Definitely recommend this 8 hour day trip, it’s compact, educational, and historically beautiful.

Excellent tour - This was an excellent tour. Super easy to converse with Nicolas and he was very knowledgeable about everything. It's clear he enjoys/loves what he does and his clients benefit from that passion. An additional bonus was the excellent lunch that was included. I would highly recommend this tour

Giverny/Palace of Versailles Full day - It was a full and delightful day w our small group! There’s so much to see, we could’ve done a full day at each location but didn’t have the time in our schedule. Giverny + Palace of Versailles was an excellent compromise. Nicolas (tour leader) was prompt, informative, kind. Tour van was clean with A/C. Lunch location was quaint, food was OK.

Spectacular Tour - This tour was fabulous! Honore has an encyclopedic knowledge of French history and culture and shares the information in an interesting and engaging manner. He was fun and engaging and met the group at their knowledge level. He also knew what to do when so we were able to avoid the crowds to a great degree.

Our day at Giverny and Versailles - A wonderful tour showing the best of Giverny and Versailles. Our guide Oliver was extremely knowledgeable, easy to listen to and made the day so very interesting - we were very fortunate to be the only 2 on the tour. The highlight for us was Monet’s garden and house - so totally unexpected, especially the beauty of the garden. The lunch was a little disappointing - the main especially (steamed chicken breast) was very plain - there was no salad or vegetables with the main, and no choice. We expected this given the price of the tour. It was great to go through Versailles and hear the history behind the Chateau in detail . It is a long day , but good to see both incredible venues with a very good tour guide.
