“It was excellent. My only complaint is that it would have been nice if the bus had arrived earlier to head back to Paris as it absolutely poured so we all got drenched. Umbrellas didn’t help at all. Otherwise, it was a great experience.”

“Our trip was great! Our guide was knowledgeable and very nice and helpful. Will be doing this again for something else.”
Cycle Versailles gardens, shop its historic market, picnic by the Grand Canal, then explore the palace and royal retreats.
“This was such a great way to see Versailles. As a solo traveler, it was nice to be in a small group of 10-11 ppl. The tour was on time and largely stuck to the schedule. There was more than enough time at most stops and we really got to do a lot of different things. From walking around the market to biking around the grounds and having a picnic along the water, it truly was a great day. A great time and I’d say well worth the money! Also, our tour guide Theo was awesome, fun, and engaging!”

Cycle through Versailles gardens, shop for a market picnic, visit the Trianons, and explore the palace on an 8.5-hour tour from Paris.
“Inexperienced guide, some wrong information and lots of "I don't know" answers to questions. Guide spoke 5% of the time maximum. Tour started 30 minutes late, we had to wait 30 minutes for people being late, tour guide bike broke and took 15 minutes to fix and we had to drop off the bikes which is 30 minutes ride back plus 15 minute walk to the Chateau. We had less than 2 hours to explore the Chateau before it closed. The guide told us it would be open till after 10 pm, it closed at 6 pm. Experience was poor, would not recommend this company as half the time was…”

Visit Monet’s Giverny and Versailles from Paris in one long day, with guided palace access, free garden time, transport, and practical tips.
“Lawrence was AMAZING, so entertaining and clearly so passionate about Giverny. He even took us to see Monet’s grave since we got there early! It was unbelievably beautiful to see. Like heaven on earth! Our guide at Versailles, Lily, was also wonderful! I think sometimes her jokes went over peoples heads for sarcasm but it is exactly my type of humor and I loved it. I do agree with reviews that call for more time in Giverny and less time in Versailles. Especially after seeing Monet’s gardens it can be a lot to have 3 full hours in Versailles gardens (palace tour was great and the gardens are still breathtaking).…”
Review of the Loire Valley castles day trip from Paris, with Chambord, Chenonceau, Cheverny, transport, timing, cost, and practical tips.
“I liked the excursion very much, the Loire valley castles are beautiful! The driver was super! The bus was clean and neat. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the guides didn’t explain much during the travel between the castles. I am sure there is a lot of history and legends that they can share and make the long hours in travelling more enjoyable and interesting.”
