The directions were clear. It’s important to show up on time at the pickup location. Eat beforehand, you won’t be able to do it on the bus and then you’ll jump into the activity and there was no eating allowed for a portion of it. Our tour guide at Versailles was really good. He was very friendly and dynamic. Overall, it was a really good experience. I did the Versailles and garden tours for a half day and in hindsight I could have done a full day to explore the gardens some more. They were epic and beautiful. There was a lot to explore.

We had a fantastic experience with Mohammed on the Louvre Highlights tour. He immediately made things easy and stress-free by getting us set up with lockers and a quick break before we started, which was a really thoughtful touch. The reserved access made a big difference, and Mohammed navigated the museum effortlessly, taking us to all the key highlights without feeling rushed. His knowledge and storytelling were excellent, making each piece more meaningful and engaging. If you’re visiting the Louvre and want a smooth, insightful experience, Mohammed is the guide you want.

Pierre made the tour of the Notre Dame so special. He took us around the cathedral explaining the history of how it came to be and the attempts to change it. He spent time detailing different aspects of the statures and frescos. He was wonderful and made our trip incredibly memorable.

Excellent knowledgeable guide. Before the trip I was very worried about the meeting place as I had read that other people missed their tour and there was no recourse. We arrived early so no problem but I was worried until we met up with the group. In other places we have visited in the world, the tours are designated a particular spot for meeting up with their guests.

We had a wonderful tour guide who was very knowledgeable! They had so many answers and knew all the best places to go. When the tour was over she give us wonderful advice on where else to go in the museum. She helped us with a lost bag and we were able to get it back thanks to her! We would be happy to have her as a tour guide anytime!

The Louve is beyond the biggest museum in the world, it is artistic beauty galore and madness! And if you are thinking of going it alone you are insane. Pierre our guide was exceptional!! He was professional so knowledgeable, full of historical facts and anecdotes and he guided us through the maze of art and history leaving us feeling that we saw, we came and we conquered. He is highly recommended.

Dominique was an excellent tour guide! Excellent at keeping our kiddo engaged. And she was able to answer all of our questions about numerous things that were not even part of the tour. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. Especially if you have a kid.

This exclusion was one of our best experiences while in Paris! Lilite and our driver picked us up from our hotel at 8:30 in the morning in a Mercedes Sprinter van, with plenty of room. Lilite sat in the rear facing seat across from us on the journey to Fontainebleau, giving us notes and preview of what was to come. We we arrived, she quickly guided us into the palace, slipping the lines with her professional guide access. Her knowledge of not only the palace, buts rooms and long history was AMAZING! She also guided us around groups of others so we could see parts of the favorite home of Napoleon away from the crowds. Al along the way, she stopped for photo opportunities and accommodated our desire to document the wonderful trip together. After the interior tour, Lilite walked us through the grounds and gardens. Then she led us up to the city’s center and offered several suggestions for lunch. Once we made our choice to enjoy a beautiful bistro and light lunch, she left us and planned to meet when we were done. After a fantastic charcuterie and wine, we met back with Lilite and the driver and headed out to Vaux Le Vicomte. Our visit to the Vaux chateaux was wonderful. Not crowded at all, and Lilite knew everything we should take the time to explore. She even had a special surprise for us which was not available for all visitors that afforded a fantastic view and experience. Wow, what a wonderful tour! Then after visiting the gift shop briefly, we returned to the van and Lilite sat up front so that we could enjoy the drive back into Paris and our hotel, where they dropped us off around 6:00. It was a perfect day trip, and left us plenty of time and energy for dinner with our friend once we returned.
