Jeff – Canada

Cecile was a great guide. We learned so much about French history. She had a great style that was informative, fun and funny!

C
Catherine – Canada

An excellent tour with two great guides. First guy gets everyone organized and on the train successfully and directs them to the guy that will take them through Versailles. Second guy takes you through Versailles and navigates the tremendous numbers of people there. Both were excellent at their jobs and very enthusiastic and accommodating
