It was fabulous! Much more history than Versailles, more rooms were available to view, and we almost had the place to ourselves. Plus, Michelle was incredible. Highly recommend it for somebody looking to do something a little different in Paris.
Fontainebleau is better tan Versilles

Tour guide Chris was great he communicated pick-up flawlessly. Almost no tourists at the estate. It is a hidden gem. The tour was life being invited to tour a friends home. Do not miss this!
A wonderful and educational experience!

For us, the visit of seeing all the old artifacts was enhanced by Julian’s commentary. The depth of his knowledge is amazing, and he spoke in a manner that gave context to what we were seeing or where we were. This was an infinitely more meaningful visit than doing a recorded audio tour. Eric’s driving was very comfortable.
