Amazing - This was the best tour I really liked the guide he was very good and made it very engaging. We were able to see a lot of stuff and I felt that what we paid was a good price for what we saw. The visit was long you were able to tour by yourself for a bit but also get to see other things with the guided tour. The crowds were very big which sucked but my guide was able to go around the people and didn’t let the crowd get to him. It was super educational and not boring in my opinion. I recommend this honestly for everyone but typically people 18 or above just because of crowds but also the info is a lot and kids might not wanna listen for a long time. Overall the atmosphere was amazing and beautiful.

A great 2-in-1 day - This was a great way to see both non-Paris places in one swoop. The timing at each place was just right and the lunch spot was lovely. Guide was knowledgeable, approachable, and a great shepherd of all the various ages and abilities in the group. This is not a scam company like so many out there. Book with confidence. One caveat, for those prone to motion-sickness, plan accordingly. Some roads are bumpy and winding.

Monet’s house was wonderful! - We loved Giverny and Monet’s gardens and house. Best part of the trip for sure. So beautiful. Versailles was so so. So crowded. Hard to stay with group. Beautiful palace but not the trip’s highlight.
