5.00Excellent tour given by a knowledgeable guide. Small group was ideal to be able to keep up and dialog about what we were seeing. Our tour guide, Vincent., explained French government history from beginning to current. This really enlightened all of us and corrected so many falsehoods that we all had prior to our tour. Vincent was truly the best part of our tour.
Johnny is a fantastic guide!

5.00Jonnydoesn’t fantastic job on the tour. He seems to have an infinite number of fax relative to the palace of Versailles and everything surrounding it. I can’t imagine any guy having a better command of the material and he presents it in a fun way. The tour itself and the palace is extraordinary and something you’ll likely not forget. I highly recommend Jonny
