Review the Versailles Palace tour from Paris by train, with reserved entry, expert guiding, royal apartments, and Musical Gardens or fountains.
“Ivan was a great guide. he seemed very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He also has a great sense of humor”
Review of a Versailles half-day tour from Paris with escorted RER travel, skip-the-line entry, royal apartments, gardens, and optional Trianon access.
“The guide was excellent and had many interesting stories to share, helping to bring the history of the palace alive. The gardens were a bit disappointing as they were prepared for winter storage. Fountains not working and statues wrapped. If you wish to see the full gardens I recommend traveling before mid October.”
Review of a Versailles walking tour from Paris with RER trains, a guided garden visit, timed palace entry, fountain shows, and practical tips.
“Our tour guide Toby was very knowledgeable and took us to many of the fountain displays ensuring we saw the ‘dancing waters’ with music accompaniment.”
Cycle Versailles gardens, Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet, and the Trianons, then tour the palace independently with train tickets included.
“Not exactly a bike tour. It was more a walking tour with a minor biking portion. Ended up walking over 10km with biking an additional 5km. By the time we walked through the train and metro stations to get the train, then walk to the bike storage in Versailles , we were staring to get tired. We had understood the visit through the gardens was on bike but it wasn't. It was a walking tour of the gardens. All that to say by the time we returned to Chateau Versailles at 3:30, We were too tired to walk through the chateau. Guide Jude was great though.”
Review of the Montmartre road train and optional Seine cruise, with practical advice on views, value, accessibility, timing, and what to expect.
“We ran out of time to ride around but it looked like fun”
Spend a full day at Disneyland Paris with dated park admission and round-trip RER A train travel from central Paris.
“Would 100% recommend. From picking tickets up front from their office to the illumination lights at the end, the entire day was faultless and memorable. They provided enough guidance when collecting tickets so you know what metro tubes to take and the train takes you right outside the park. The tickets included entrance to both parks without any interruptions. Would recommend coming early to avoid queues. The price for tickets to both parks and the hour train journey was 100% worth it. But deffo book again!”

Review of Versailles from Paris by train, with guided palace rooms, gardens, Petit Trianon, Marie Antoinette’s village, and practical tips.
“Trip and guide were amazing with no issues once we got to Versailles. The only problem was that the representative scheduled to get us to the train was late and 2 of the passengers train tickets were not valid so after a lot of issues with the train authorities the tour representative finally paid an additional $70 to get them new tickets but they had to insist that the tour representative pay bc he originally told them it wasn’t his fault.”
Review of Disneyland Paris with round-trip RER A train tickets, park choices, ticket pickup rules, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This Disneyland park is super small - and every line we went to had a minimum of a 45-min wait. I was forewarned by others that had gone, but decided to try it myself for our 9-year old. Definitely not worth the money - and not enough rides/attractions for a not-so-little kid - I mean, he's well beyond teacup rides and its a small world. If you've never been to any Disney park, and either don't mind the wait, or catch it at a time when the lines are small, then you may not mind it. But if you've been to Disney World in Orlando, you'll be disappointed with this…”
Review of a private Paris to Lourdes day trip by TGV, with hotel pickup, sanctuary access, and a personal guide in Lourdes.

Review of Versailles’ small-group train tour from Paris, with palace entry, gardens, expert guides, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“We had the most amazing and entertaining guide, Elizabeth. She was not only extremely fluent and articulate in English, but was an amazing story teller. She made the entire trip into Versailles and the tour itself very entertaining and informative by explaining the history of the people and events connected with this famous chateau, most importantly, King Louis XIV. How she told the story really brought the experience to life and the entire small group felt this tour was the highlight of our visit to Paris. Elizabeth also ensured our safety and comfort by directing us along the way as we took the train, grabbed snacks and found bathrooms as…”
