“A wonderful day with a fabulous guide! Would highly recommend Jane!!! ”
Carole Larach –
A wonderful day with a fabulous guide! Would highly recommend Jane!!!
Carmen Velasco –
Jane was a fantastic tour guide! She arrived promptly and transportation was comfortable. The Versailles tour was more than what we expected. She had so many interesting information that made the tour fun and exciting. She was also flexible with our schedule and made accommodations when we asked her to switch our planned itinerary so we can have lunch inside the museum at Angelina. Overall, this is one of the most enjoyable tours I have experienced. A very worthy treat!
Ann Oustalet –
Jane was both delightful and knowledgeable, and she provided us with a wonderful experience at Versailles. I would take any other tour she offers!
Micheal Marquez –
Jane is the perfect guide for anything in Paris. Our Versailles tour was amazing and so easy. We were picked up in a fantastic vehicle and then Jane showed us how to best experience the essentials of the Palace and grounds. Her knowledge of history was super helpful and our kids were engaged and loving it. Highly recommend Jane!
Shannon Sherry –
Jane was incredibly knowledgeable about Versailles as well as Paris. She tailored the tour for my children. We had a fabulous time! If my children could have handled the walking, I would have done the full day tour. We will most definitely use her in a future trip. She does tours of Normandy and Loire Valley as well.
Margot Rosenstein –
Jane provided an amazing tour of Versailles for our family of five, including three boys ages 17, 13 and
11. She kept our attention at all times (even the boys’!), answered questions and shared her enthusiasm and knowledge of not just the splendors of the inside palace, but also the vast and magnificent outside gardens. Jane is very kind, smart and funny, and we would not hesitate to recommend her to others or to use her again next time we are in Paris.
Marci Gerwe –
Jane was a wonderful guide. She knew all kinds of curious information about Versailles and moved us through the crowd very efficiently. Her humor and personality added a lot to the time spent on the tour.
Pamela Badger –
Jane was FANTASTIC. Her enthusiasm was only surpassed by her detailed knowledge of history. It was a privilege to tour with Jane.
Thomas Lee –
Jane gave our family a wonderful tour of Versailles palace and gardens that the whole family enjoyed.
Super comfortable private transfer and she was intentional in engaging all of us on the tour including my young daughter who would often try to wander away.
Khusroo Qureshi –
Excellent. My daughter and children loved her. Went beyond what was listed in the tour. She took us to see some of the list sites in Paris and also assisted us in getting our COVID tests for return even though her time was done. My daughter wants to return and see more of France with lane
