We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our knowledgeable guide. A big piece of French history is well preserved.
Excellent tour. The guide was extremely informative and friendly, group size was ideal and preferable to large bus tours.
Superb - loved this tour - liked the small group and the guide was great - lunch was excellent and we all had a wonderful time.
We had an amazing day from start to finish. Our driver guide, Frederic was punctual, courteous, amusing, informative and very professional. The balance of the day seemed just right and the included lunch in Vaux le Vicomte was delicious and of a very high standard. We enjoyed being part of a small group trip rather than a larger tour and will most definitely book similar trips with your company again.
Very good, lovely trip.
We only have praise for the day trip and especially for Herbert, who was extremely pleasant, knowledgable about the history, and just a very nice man. If we were to do this again we would hope to have him for a guide. It was well worth the time and money with such beautiful places to see. Jim & JoAnne Verville
Stunning! Better than Versailles! And best of all: NO TOURIST MOBS! Our guide did not give us a personal tour, but the audioguides that were included with admission were very well done. We wandered around both HUGE and almost EMPTY chateaus, savouring every minute. Wish we could have had more time to explore the grounds, but overall, my husband and I were very happy and would recommend this trip.
Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte Chateaux are a must see for any trip to Paris. The two combined will outshine Versailles because there are not the crowds to fight with.
Our guide was very friendly, explained everything really well and kept us entertained throughout the day. Fontainebleau was beautiful. Make sure to leave enough time to visit the gardens at Vaux le Vicomte Chateaux - simply amazing, and you get the best views from the top of the tower which is accessible from within the chateaux. Would've loved to spend more time at Barbizon, unfortunately we only drove through the main street. Overall fantastic day trip.
In some way Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte Chateaux are better than Versailles. 1. Less visitors, so you can enjoy better. 2. All the rooms are fully furnished. So many surprises waiting for you. Barbizon is a very beautiful village. I wish I had more time to enjoy the atmosphere of the lovely place. Overall this tour is wonderful. My husband and I have recommended this tour to a lot of our friends for their next trip in Paris. Highly recommended!
We had a fabulous guide. The guide was wonderful. He picked us up promptly, was very well informed and had a great sense of humor. We enjoyed the audio guides and were able to tour the castles at our own pace, spending more time in some areas than in others and lunch was absolutely terrific!
This was the best day. Tour guide informative and bursting with knowledge. Lunch was delicious. Places visited wonderful. Worth every cent.
Great trip! The guide really knew his facts about both chateaux. They were truly beautiful. The luncheon served at Vaux le Vicomte was excellent. The trip was well worth the price.
Driver was friendly and an excellent host, informative and had a great knowledge of history, art etc. Great company. Lunch was delicious. Pickup is well worth the cost. A fabulous day and great value. Highly recommended.
Driver was on time and helpful in explaining our trip and both Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte. It was definitely a wonderful day spent touring both of these properties. A highlight in French history.
