A Recent Review of This Tour!
“What an amazing trip and what a wonderful guide! Jane was enthusiastic about everything she showed us – both the home and gardens of Monet at Giverny and the beautiful palace at Versailles. She was equally informed about both the art in the palace and the history and geo politics that occurred there. She was more disappointed than we were that we had to limit our view of the Versailles gardens to peering out of the windows due to rain
and was willing to get wet if we were! Thanks, Jane, for a great day!”

Sherry Leybovich –
I highly recommend utilizing Jane. Her knowledge of the areas that we toured was amazing! I opted for the day tour which included Giverny and Monet’s Home/Gardens and then off to Versailles. Giverny was beyond my expectations! I have been to the Palace of Versaille on two previous occasions and still learned some interesting new facts about life at the Palace.
Gerald Mcgackin –
Jane was engaging and energetic we had a wonderful time spending the day with her
Eric Gong –
Jane is the most perfect person to spend a day in Paris with! I came across Jane’s profile and immediately was intrigued by the variety of her tours. Jane helped me book a custom Paris city tour (her favorite spots and a afternoon in Chantilly). It was the most perfect day with a true French historian. Jane has the sweetest personality and you will be amazed with that you learn over the course of a day. I highly recommend Jane for all your Paris tour bookings! Merci beaucoup, Jane! See you next time!:
