Fantastic way to spend a day - A fantastic and interesting day. I learned so much and our guide was amazing!! I highly recommend taking a day trip to Fontainebleau, just as beautiful as Versailles and much less crowded.

Memorable day - The day was great, with only three of us going on that day. Really enjoyed their company on the tour. Our guide Victor was delightful, pleasant and very informative. The weather was perfect and a very memorable day.

Beautiful Châteaux & A Great Tour Guide - This tour was amazing! We visited Fontainebleau and Vaux-Le-Vicomte Castles, and then had a wonderful lunch. The tour guide, Olivier, is extremely knowledgeable about history and he made the tour very memorable. It was an amazing experience!

Uncrowded, spectacular castles! - Valerie was wonderful guide. She was fun and knowledgeable. The sites were spectacular and uncrowded. I had visited Versailles many years ago and wanted a quieter castle visit. The tour surpassed my expectations.

A fun and memorable day! - Three castles in one day (our guide added a quick drive-by stop at the nearby medieval castle of Blandy des tours, three is better than two for good luck, she said) and they were all great. Friendly, funny and knowledgeable guide who is a native to the region. Both the larger castles were stunning; Fontainebleau contains many gorgeous paintings, statues and objects from the Napoleon era. Vaux-le-Vicomte had a particularly good audio guide: I don’t usually like recorded audio guides very much but this one was like an entertaining play performed by voice actors, really well done. Five visitors in our group, a nice size group for plenty of good conversation on the ride and attention to personal needs throughout the day. We got tasty lunch sandwiches to go from a boulangerie just across the street from Fontainebleau, and picnicked on the grounds of the palace. (One person in our group was gluten-free; she didn’t have a lot of options but was able to find a small salad.) The weather in early September was ideal. Including travel time to and from my hotel, I started the day about 7:30 and ended about 18:00 (6:00 pm). A full and fun day but not exhausting; one person in our group used a cane and she seemed to tolerate the activity level with no problems.

Best tour guide yet. - Absolutely fantastic. Of all the tour guides I've had, Lucy was amazing. Great small group. Both were far less busy then we all feared. Would definitely do again. Had another guide with another company for Versailles, and I wish I had scheduled it with Lucy. Just go, it will be one of your favorite tours.

Great experience - Really wonderful day trip and tour of the beautiful chateaus. Victor was a great host and guide. Nice to be in a small van with a small group instead of a large tour. I went solo and met lovely people on my trip

Loved the chateau tour with Sara - Even though it was a hot day Sara made it a really great day. She's a fantastic guide. Good time given to explore each chateau yourself. Chateaus are wonderful.

Wonderful experience with a fabulous guide! - Both castles are stunning and we had ample time to explore them inside and out. Valeria was a fantastic guide, telling us the stories of the castles and answering questions about life in Paris during the drives. She took lots of photos of us and knew all the best spot for our own photographs. I had a great time, definitely a great value and wonderful memories!

Great experience - Great guide. Beautiful chateaus on time. Well structured tour. Always receive a lot when using Viator
