Our guide was exceptional. My wife is somewhat disabled and he did everything possible to make her enjoy the experience as much as I did. Hristo was awesome. Also awesome was the Chateau. Not nearly as crowded as Versailles and you get to see much more of the Chateau. Highly recommended.

What a great service! I booked a 4-hour walking tour of downtown Paris, during my 9-hour layover. It was perfect! Dani catered my tour to the things I wanted to see - offbeat stuff, art, graffiti, good food, fun shops. I’d definitely go with him again another time!

Very well informed and educated Guide who provided an excellent historical overview of Fontainebleau. Far less crowded than Versailles and just as opulent. Well worth the trip!

We had an unbelievable day with Myriam visiting Fontainebleau. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Paris. She met us at our hotel and helped us navigate the bus/train out to Fontainbleau. She walked us through the beautiful grounds of the estate and helped us get headsets for touring the chateau. She was friendly and conversational the entire time. Her English was fantastic since she studied in the USA for 4 years. We found talking with her very easy. Upon return to Paris, she helped us find a cafe we were looking for. We would highly recommend her to any travelers looking for a local guide to show them around. As an added bonus, she gave us a list of her favorite places to eat in Paris. The entire day was wonderful--you won't regret it.

Such a beautiful place! And spending time with our Local Marie (who was excellent) made the experience all the better! Even though it was not in the city, she was able to tailor the experience to our needs and was friendly, kind and knowledgeable! Fantastic!
