My husband and I had a wonderful experience, the driver was very experience with narrow streets, the guide went above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable, safe and enjoying our trip.
- Paris and Versailles
Great experience all around. Was pleased with accommodations and tour guides. Will definitely book a tour with this company in the future!

Good itinerary and well planned trip. Hotels are usually are located in the city center but tourist class hotels. Close to subways. The guides were excellent. Thank you André for your comments and humour. I recommend it
