A must tour tour when in Paris

5.00Love love love ! Second time I did it and still my favorite tour. Here are a few reasons why - easy to navigate the train to Versailles with the guides, I really enjoyed the new added tastings in the market and the extra free time to explore to purchase picnic items for lunch, out the bikes I’d never see as much of the outside of Versailles, our guide Guigui was fun and entertaining which made the whole day light easy peasy and fun! The best part is that you’re left at the entrance of the palace so you can spend as much time inside or as little as desired. Overall a great blend of guided tour + free time! A must do when in Paris and a tour I always recommend to my friends!
Fantastic tour!

5.00We loved our tour with Guillene (sp?). He was so personable and knowledgeable. He was welcoming and inclusive of everyone on our group. I was traveling with a friend and my 10yr old daughter and we all had a fabulous time. The Versailles gardens are huge and beautiful and we never would have seen as much on our own or learned as much. The trip to the market to get food for a picnic was also absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this tour. Plan for a full busy day! My 10yr old fell asleep on the train ride back to Paris.

5.00Unique and fun; a wonderful day trip. We had Guillaume as our guide, and he was very informative, not only when it came to Versailles but he was also very helpful with explaining and letting us know about Parisian customs and culture when it came to biking on the streets and navigating the train station.
