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.

A little more time in the town of Barbizon would have been so nice.

I wish we had more time in Barbizon and Fountainbleau. The lunch at Vaux le Vicomte was very good. The driver was excellent in the terrible return traffic.

This is a wonderful tour! Our only complaint is that the minivan was a bit too small for nine people.

The guide/driver was very knowledgeable and personable. Including lunch was a plus. Covering the three places made the most of the day. It was also great that we will receive mileage credit for the tour!

Our guide left us to go in on our own. I understood that we would have a guide for the tour. The lunch was wonderful.

Enjoyed both castles immensely! The tour guide was difficult to understand due to a strong French accent. Information should be noted in the explanation that a guided tour of castles is not the case. The guide gives an overview about both castles but, both castles were self guided. The price paid you would assume a guided tour not transportation only.

The guide wasn't really interested in ensuring it was a great experience for us. She mainly spent her time with another colleague, and was clearly just going through the motions. Not what I expected on a minivan tour at all.

Was picked up first. Took over one hour to get to the direction of the tour. Tour guide leaves you to go into the castles alone with an audio guide, but on your own. Our guide was pleasant but it would have been better if she would have taken us into the castles. Food was average.

We were picked up an hour late, sat cramped in back seat with poor vision & unable to hear the driver/guide. Barbizon not worth the mention. Fontainbleau & Vaux le Vicomte were interesting. Lunch was good. Drove in heavy Paris traffic for an hour to be dropped off last. Not worth the price.
