This tour was a scam

We booked the Fontainebleau Castle Half-Day Private Tour, paying Eur 530 for 2 people. On our way, our driver informed us that there was a festival at Fontainebleau and it was free to the public. When we arrived at Fontainebleau, our driver informed us that he could not give us the private tour, allegedly because guides were not allowed in the Castle during the festival. He handed us headsets and told us to walk about the castle on our own (no private tour). When I protested, he said that we would definitely get a refund. Later, the company denied we paid for a private tour. At no point before our journey were we told there was free admission and that private tours were not available/offered. Ricardo (our driver) said, "Oh, you should have been told that we couldn't give a private tour. I see it says 'Private Tour' on your voucher, so you should get a refund." I hope this saves someone else from booking this.

Outstanding guide

A very convenient way to see Fontainebleau. My only recommendation would be make the tour and hour longer. We had to move at a pretty brisk pace to get through the Chateau. Would have been nice to have a little time to explore the grounds afterwards. The tour guide was outstanding.
