Anna did a wonderful job as our tour guide to Paris!. Very knowledgeable and kept us on schedule. Very organized and used every minute,

Worth every cent, Gustavo was an outstanding guide. Guided tour was a masterclass in European history. Extremely personable. This tour was a highlight of my trip to Paris.

It was great to have hotel pickup and dropoff for this, as travelling by Uber/Taxi with a family in Paris can be challenging. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and really knew how to get us through this amazing Palace in a few hours. The highlight was the time we spent in the gardens, which we would never have been able to navigate without a guide. He also could see that we were OVER the big crowds in the most visited rooms and took us to some lesser known parts of the Palace that were less crowded, and we were really able to enjoy the setting.

Thanks to expert driver-guide Isobell (spelling?), our trip to the Loire Valley was our best day in Paris. She expertly told us the history and culture, and inside the 3 chateaus pointed out original vs. restoration, actual vs. replica, and medieval vs. Renaissance. You could easily spend a half day at each castle, so having a smart guide was vital to using our time efficiently. Highly recommended.

You people are nuts. When booked Oct pickup was 1pm, then 2pm, then3pm. Far toolate for city plans. Tour time lateCall me

Our guide, Gustavo, made the tour for us. He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable and made the tour fun. He explained in detail every room we visited and The Hall of Mirrors. His guided tour through the gardens was very enjoyable. If you want a guide who knows his stuff, is easy going, and wants to make your tour the best possible experience you could have, I highly recommend booking Gustavo. He gave us everything we were looking for and more. Thank you Gustavo.

We did the tour with a guide. Both the house and the garden, located in Giverny, where the famous impressionist lived and died, is worth the visit. The whole place is as fun to explore as it's inspiring. But you've got to plan it well. Especially in July and August the gardens are wonderful…

Gustavo did a wonderful job with your tour . He was knowledgeable and informative. Basically gave us a history of art through the Louvre. Highly recommend

This trip was chosen primarily for an interest in a Medieval City and secondarily due to the employees' statewide strike. The bus ride was comfortable and tour guide while on the ride was informative. Arriving at our destination, the tour guide not only walked so very fast she RARELY had the group with her she was so far ahead of us. She would speak of a historic site while the group was not close to where she was. She was the worst tour guide. I don't recommend this tour with her as your guide.

Wonderful! The guide could not have been better. He knew his stuff. I am a senior adult. He helped me in every way. From getting tickets, parking the car close by; evading the line, negotiating the stairs. We walked arm in arm like we were old friends. So very pleasurable. I would hire him again in an instant! Kudos

We had always wanted to visit Versailles and the opportunity to see it with our kids before they headed off to college made the trip essential. Having a very well informed guide to shepherd us around the lines and through the galleries made the experience that much more enjoyable. It also meant that we instead of fighting for food on the grounds we were taken into town to have a delicious lunch in a lovely French cafe in town. Then after lunch he took us back and showed us the other less crowded parts of Versailles - Trianon, the Queen's village, etc. And having a nice car pick us up at our hotel and then drop us off at the end of our day in Versailles was very, very pleasant and relaxing - no muss, no fuss. As for the price, for a family of four it was perfectly reasonable and the value was exceptional. I'm not sure I would choose this tour if I were just a couple (or solo).

This tour was perfect! The guide was knowledgeable and personable. The tour manager let us know he might be a few minutes late, and he was -- exactly the 5 minutes predicted. The guide went ahead of us to secure our pre-paid tickets, so NO LINES! He made sure that our tour of the palace and the gardens accommodated the weather and our pace of walking through rooms or stopping to notice fine points of some of the paintings. He knew the history but not the "art appreciation" points that we noted, and he expressed interest in those "artsy" points, rather than being impatient to just get through each room (which we observed the group tour guides do). He suggested lunch at the reasonably priced brasserie just outside the Versailles gates rather than in the over-priced and *crowded* places on the palace grounds. Our all-day tickets got us right back onto the grounds after lunch. We learned, we laughed ... and we had a comfortable ride back to our Paris apartment afterward. HINT: Don't take photos inside Versailles or on the gardens. You can find excellent photos online. Spend your time EXPERIENCING being in rooms of that scale and luxuriousness, and learning how royalty conducted the business of the country at that time! Then you'll understand why the royalty "needed" the simpler Trianon buildings a kilometer away. "Working from home" wasn't for them, then, what it is for some of us now.

The initial draw of this Viator tour was to have lunch at the Eiffel Tower. The name of the tour never changed to reflect this would not happen and won’t be until 2020. The lunch cruise was not as good as one would hope for on a sightseeing tour. The 3- course meal was delicious! We cruised the Seine for two hours with absolutely no commentary on what we were seeing, if you blinked you missed seeing the burnt shell of Notre Dame. Traffic was horrible and most of the tour is stuck in traffic in some areas that there really is nothing of interest— just inner city stuff. The stop at the Louvre was about an hour and a half and those going in were warned that there wasn’t time to see the Mona Lisa—tour left a passenger who didn’t make the return time meeting. Tour agents were very nice.

Did this trip today with Fred. He was very insightful and provided the right level of information. Giverny was breathtaking. The restaurant was very good and a beautiful place. The time in Versailles may be a bit too short if you are looking to explore the garden in depth. Because it was not my first time, I was ok with the time allotted.

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour in June 2019 with Kevin. Hotel pick up was prompt and he called the evening before to confirm. He was very knowledgable and pointed out landmarks on the drive over. His timing of the tour was perfect and enabled us to see several of the fountain shows in the gardens. It was great to be able to see the private apartments without having to fight a large crowd. Kevin did a great job moving us through the crowds in the main area of the palace and knew all the best spots for photos. Skipping the long lines to enter palace and the added bonus of the apartments is well worth the price of the tour!
