She watched out closely for each individual to make sure we were safe and well informed the whole way. It was likely a once in a lifetime trip, very glad it was as good as it was. We were even lucky enough to catch the fountains on! Buy extra food for snacking along the tour/after 🙂 read less

She put us right at ease while riding our bikes to Versailles.
Once we were inside the palace, without having to wait in any lines (and the lines were long!) it was a pleasure to be a ‘guest’ of Stu’s. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had a unique, modern and funny guiding style. It was very interactive and a lot of fun. Going back outside and getting on the bikes for a tour of the grounds and a delicious picnic of local edibles was a real treat. It was a pleasure spending the day with them. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend this ‘tour’ but it was really more like an afternoon with friends that are experts on Versailles. Well done and worth every penny:) read lessReva -

Our guides make the difference.
We started with a simple goal – to work with not only the very best certified guides but great people.
Not only are they lots of fun but have obtained the Guide Conferencier certification that allows them to both skip the lines and guide inside all monuments & museums in France.
