We picked the wrong day to go to Versailles. It was horribly crowded. But we sure picked the right guide! With his incredible breadth of knowledge of history, art, literature, and culture, and his charming character he turned it into a wonderful day, We only wish we had booked more Parisian experiences with him!
Pauline was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and engaging. We would recommend to friends.
Gabrielle was awesome! Her knowledge was extensive. She answered all of our questions and was very engaging. She was able to connect with my two teenage daughters and made the whole tour very interesting. She was the best tour guide we had during our trip. We really liked our tour and would recommend it to others.
