This is just what we had hoped for. Our guide Fabricio put us at ease immediately and took great care of us. He expertly guided us through Monet's house and gardens and then to the church in Giverny where Monet and his family are buried. After a lovely lunch at a creperie on the Seine in nearby Vernon, he toured us through the palace and gardens at Versailles. He knew exactly where to take to us and at just the right times, working us around the large groups and explaining the history to us all the while. Other groups were definitely jealous of our private tour! He was a careful and courteous driver in a super comfortable Mercedes. Fabricio was also so patient with us. He translated everything on the lunch menu for us and then explained all of it. He was absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend this tour and our guide!We had a Private tour with our guide Frederik. We would highly recommend this tour with Frederik as the guide - Frederik was so knowledgeable and personable. We absolutely loved the Monet Gardens and ALL the fantastic info Frederick gave us as well as the Versailles tour!

Roseann was an outstanding tour guide. She was fluently bilingual, very well informed about the geographic history of the areas we toured, as well as the details of Versailles. Roseann showed us corners of Giverney, pieces in the museum and fountains in the garden at Versailles that we would’ve not found or understood on our own, without her delightful insights. At a very busy time, her excellent hospitality made our tour relaxed and pleasant. I highly recommend Roseann for the tour of Versailles and Giverney.Frederic was just terrific.

We felt very fortunate to have had such a knowledgeable and pleasant guide.A little pricey, but guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and informative and he made it a wonderful experience.
