Two Chateaus to not miss
Daniel_C, Nov 2023
Great tour of two exceptional properties. Very knowledgeable guide with a great personality and sense of humor. We were picked up and dropped off at the apartment we rented which was very convenient. Well worth the money.

The transport arrived on time and the guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Lilis was also considerate by allowing me to sit by myself on the return journey. She also was mindful not to overload me with information

The entire experience was seamless and spectacular from beginning to end! Both Fountainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte far exceeded our expectations in every way! Lillet was a walking encylopedia of valuable information that made the trip so fascinating and exciting, not to mention, so interesting and memorable. This excursion was our favorite thing we did on our trip to Paris! Lillet and Alex, the driver, were an awesome team that we can't recommend highly enough!
Great castles to visit,...
Zoya_B, Sep 2023
Great castles to visit, enough time to explore them. Comfortable private transportation. Knowledgeable tour guide Stefan.
Fontainebleau was better...
Rick_D, May 2023
Fontainebleau was better than Versailles since it had more rooms to see, including a number of really big halls and they were all beautifully maintained. There were a lot less people too. Vaud le Vicomte was also great to see. It is a long day, buy definitively worth it.
Pricey but worth it
Bryan_L, May 2023

Amazing!!
GlennW_F, Mar 2023
Lilette was amazing! We had a fantastique tour of Fontainebleau. Unfortunately our son became ill after lunch but both our driver and Lilette were so helpful and accommodating. Then the second chateau unexpectedly closed and we were unable to tour it. However, once again Lilette and the driver came to our rescue and we were able to do an impromptu tour of the Basilica of St. Denis instead. Despite our son not feeling great, it was otherwise a wonderful day!!!!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you for the great review! We are extremely happy you loved your experience. Trust us, you have made our day immensely better by sharing your experience with us. And we wish a speedy recovery to your son!
Great Day!
