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.

Gregory was wonderful, informative and a delight! We very much appreciated his tour and his company!!! Should have remembered as we had a good humoured chuckle about his name! We certainly enjoyed him!!! Highly recommend time spent with him.

We had a great tour of the Montmartre area! Our tour guide, Elli, contacted us weeks before our arrival to find out specifically what we wanted out of this tour. My wife is a photographer so Elli designed the tour with that in mind. She pointed out all the interesting and iconic places, buildings and statues. What is so special about this tour was it was was designed just for us and our interest. Elli is very knowledgeable and highly educated, as well as lots of fun! As we walked the Montmartre area she explained the culture and history of the area and was easy to understand and talk to. A great tour! Also, because we were a bit apprehensive about taking the subway back to our hotel, Elli went with us! Took us to within 2 blocks of our hotel and showed us a great place to have lunch! This was definitely not part of the tour. Because of Elli this tour was way beyond what we expected!
