A Recent Review of This Tour!
“Jane H. was our guide for the Versailles and Louvre tours on our recent trip to paris. There were six of us in our group and we were all impressed with Jane’s knowledge of these palaces/museums. In the Louvre she led us to where there’s not a lot of people in a queue and knew the background story of each of the major art exhibits. At the Versailles, she has detailed information on each of the rooms and the palace gardens. She is accomodating, courteous, well spoken and also an excellent photographer. ”

Jane was full of facts and stories as we traveled to Versailles. She had the tour well planned and the details were perfect. Could have spent more time with her in the Louvre. She was a wealth of knowledge there. Would definitely recommend her for any tour.
Rafael Mendez –
Great tour and guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful
Ryan Dunlap –
What a first class, friendly, knowledgeable guide! We are a family of five from US, and Jane was a perfect guide for us. Picked us up in a luxury van at the hotel, to the door and no lines at Versailles and Louvre, and even treated us to ice cream on the return.
Barbara Alwin –
Jane was the perfect guide for our visit to Versailles and the Louvre. She is very knowledgeable in the history and details of Versailles, as well as details about the art in both Versailles and the Louvre. This tour was perfect for us, as we only wanted a brief visit to the Louvre (as 4 seniors with limited energy!). This tour was a great combination for our brief – and first – visit to Paris. We really enjoyed our day with Jane – and would recommend her highly for any tour you choose in Paris.
Keith Norris –
Jane was amazing! Comfortable van, great driver.
She was energetic and darling. Worked around our schedule to include breakfast and lunch!
