Our driver was so skilled at maneuvering through the busy streets of Paris and the highways to Fontainebleau, and she told us so much about each destination we visited. Lunch was excellent...just a great day all around!

My wife and I just spent 2 weeks in Paris for our anniversary. While we hesitated going outside this incredible and beautiful city, we thought a little day trip to see some of the surrounding chateaus would be interesting. Indeed it was thanks to our guide and intinerary. While it was a full day I felt we saw and learned alot. Both Chateaus were spectacular and everything was ideal. Our beautiful guide, whom I believe was named Celine, was amazing in her knowledge and personality. And she was a really good driver, negotiating us out and back to Paris like a real professional. Thank you Celine. You're the best! Oh, the small group, the nice van and even the food (and wine) were a big plus. This trip was a real highlight of our anniversary.

It was a very interesting tour. Vaux le Vicomte was very impressively beautiful, and I enjoyed the story behind it, too.

A well organised tour to very interesting sites. Highly recommended. Beware of car break-ins in the Fountainblau car park. This happened to our bus!

The journey was worth it and I enjoyed the company. The guide, Katherine, was friendly and helpful. You may like to consider this trip out of Paris if you have already spent a few days in the city.

Great tour of two amazing palaces [each more
interesting than Versailles]! Great lunch too at Vaux le Vicomte! Excellent guide in van made the tour even better.

Excellent tour. The guide was extremely informative and friendly, group size was ideal and preferable to large bus tours.

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.
