5.00Our guide Lucile was exceptional. She was very knowledgable, warm and friendly, and took great care of our group. She readily adjusted to our group’s needs and answered any questions we had. She showed great care and made sure that we were comfortable all throughout the tour. Would highly recommend this tour as well because of the itinerary — Giverny and Versailles are beautiful and must-visit places.

5.00Enjoyed a fantastic day with Chris exploring Giverny and Versailles. Chris was an amazing guide and driver for the day. Chris was informative and very accommodating, everything about the day was lovely. Chris knew every answer to any question and was a joy to spend the day with, it was like hanging out with a close friend. We are so happy we have chosen this excursion. It is worth the added expense to have a fully private experience.
Spectacular Day at Giverny and Versailles with Andre!

5.00From the moment Andre picked us up at our hotel we knew it was going an amazing day! Two of my bucket list items - seeing the palace at Versailles and visiting Claude Monet‘s home at Giverny - had been on my must-do list since my first trip to Paris. Both locations were spectacular as was seeing the countryside outside of Paris via Mercedes van, which could take small village roads that the big buses can’t. Andre is the truly a master guide - he knows everyone and everything historical about the locations. We feel so well educated and treated like royalty during our private trip. I would highly recommend this trip and Andre as the guide.
Family of 5 and we loved it

5.00Our driver and guide was Lucile and she was simply exceptional. A very safe and comfortable ride for our group of 6 in July of 2025. Lucile was extremely charismatic and incredibly knowledgable. She truly loves sharing French History and is shows. The entire trip was filled with knowledge about Monet and Versailles, but Lucile made the trip worthwhile with a lot of local knowledge as well. This made the trip to and from quite enjoyable. Her love and respect for the sites and gardens shined through out the tour. She even was well aware of the typical day at the site and adjusted our itinerary easily so as the avoid the dense crowds whenever able, but did not skip anything. She was also very adept at making sure to provide some superb photo opportunities at both sites. This company was great to work with, and the guide they provided us with was highly knowledgeable, wonderfully attentive, and exceptionally professional. We would make every attempt to book this tour again, and would seek to book other tours with this company with absolute certainty. Having booked online tours throughout the world, this experience was an unforgettable memory that became a highlight of our trip.
Fabulous excursion - well worth the money

5.00Our driver, Fabric did a fantastic job of giving us lots of history & French facts as we drove through the city to Giverny for Monets home & gardens and then onto Versailles. He managed the time very efficiently especially with all the crowds of tourists. Loved the lunch place he took us to in Versailles and even drove by a few of the Paris highlights. A favorite day for all of us and highly recommend this tour.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Andre! He was very knowledgeable and made sure we got to the front of the crowds to see everything at Versailles. You could spend a full day here and not see everything. It was amazing. Andre connected with the kids and was light hearted. He continued with our history lesson on the way to Monet’s home and gardens. It was amazing to be out of the city and see the small town of Giverny. Lunch was great and Monet’s gardens were spectacular. Andre even gave us time on our own to explore more at the end of the tour. I would recommend this day tour! What a fantastic day!
We loved Chris for Giverny and Versailles

5.00This was one of our favorite things from our whole trip. Our guide, Annie, was the greatest. She made our day even more special with all of her information and tailoring fun stories that our young adult children enjoyed. Next time we do a Paris tour, we will request her again. Such a fun day.
