Fun and Memorable Tour of Versailles & Giverny - Our guide Isabel was wonderful! She came to pick us up on time and kept us entertained throughout the drive from Paris to Versailles. She is very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. She also made sure we were comfortable and enjoying our tour. It was very personalized because, the itinerary was originally lunch in Giverny but since we finished the Versailles tour close to noon, she booked us a table by the window at La Flotille Café in Versailles coz I mentioned that I celebrated my birthday there 15 years ago. I highly recommend this tour coz you not only skip the lines but have to convenience of being picked up and dropped off at your hotel or residence in Paris. Do request for Isabel and I guarantee you will have an awesome time!

Great Day Trip from Paris - Our guide, CHRIS, provided a delightful day of sightseeing from beginning to end. We arrived early to Versailles (ahead of crowds) and Chris pointed out highlights as we toured the palace enriching our experience. At Giverny, he was equally versed in all things Monet. Highly recommend.

A solid tour to see two sights in one day - We had a great tour with Chris. We did wish that we had more time in Versailles to walk the gardens, but it wasn't possible due to total tour time. Otherwise, everything was great. Chris drove well and was a great guide for us in Versailles and Monet's gardens. Monet's gardens were beautiful. So, overall, a solid tour to see two sights in one day.

Top notch experience! - An amazing day spent at Giverny and Versailles. Our guide Bertrand (apologies if I have the name spelling wrong) picked us up at our hotel and drove us out Giverny to start our day. The drive was very pleasant and comfortable. Bertrand was a wonderful conversationalist and filled our drive with very interesting facts and stories about the area we were driving through. Giverny was lovely. Although it was a rainy day I enjoyed exploring the gardens and home of Claude Monet. After a delicious lunch at the on site restaurant, we headed to Versailles. We explored the grounds and gardens and then Bertrand took us on a guided tour many of the rooms which was exceptional! There is so much history to appreciate in Versailles and having a guided tour was absolutely wonderful. After our visit, we had time to take some photos and then we headed back to Paris. Thank you so much to Bertrand for making this such an unforgettable experience. Your knowledge, charisma, and top-notch customer service made this day the highlight of my trip to France!

Truly WONDERFUL tour! - Michelle was an OUTSTANDING guide on our day trip out to Giverny and Versailles and we learned SO MUCH! She shared about the life and history of Monet, Versailles and King Louis XIV all the way to each location and then continued to share fascinating tidbits all throughout our personal tour. She knew exactly the places to go and in which order to maximize our time and minimize crowd exposure. She kindly held us a table at les Nympheas at Giverny so we could have a lovely lunch in a timely manner after we explored the grounds before heading to Versailles. We were so grateful for the private accommodations as we have younger children. Truth be told, this tour was a bit more for us as the adults because we love Monet but Michelle made sure that the tour catered both to our children's interests and to ours. She was very thoughtful and considerate and we'd be delighted to tour with her again! If you want to see both of these locations, I ABSOLUTELY recommend booking this tour! It was really worth it!

Perfect Day - How well Frederic (sp) orchestrated the day, his knowledge, his personality, and getting us in the tours with ease. The beauty of Giverny and Versailles is nothing to ever be forgotten. This was the perfect private tour for our 40th anniversary.

Versailles/Giverny tour hits a high note. - Exceptional, 6 star tour driver and guide. Roseann was fluently bi-lingual, French & English, she possessed the depth of knowledge of French culture equal to a professor of history, she began sharing her knowledge the moment my family entered the van, handled all the tickets and lines beautifully, and gave 2 days of effort in a day. Any traveler should treat themselves to this magnificent experience. Worth every penny (or euro). She loves her work and that was obvious. Best regards, John & family.

Wonderful tour and guide - Had a wonderful day with family exploring Giverny and Versailles. Our guide was very personable, knowledgeable and informative. There were huge crowds at Versailles and we wouldn’t have made it through and seen the main highlights without him! And Giverny was beautiful and worth the trip out. We also had a great lunch at a local restaurant recommended by our guide. A very memorable day.
