Polina was INCREDIBLE. We toured Versailles gardens and the palace with my friend and my daughter, 13 years old. Polina was excellent in balancing the information for adults and a teen. Because of some interests we had along the tour she was flexible and so very knowledgable that she was able to pivot and make the tour so personal to us and still make out entry times for Versailles. Her personality is sweet, kind, intelligent and easy going....you can tell she loves what she does and makes hanging out with her enjoyable. I would recommend Polina 11/10.
our guide, gregory, was phenomenal! he was so knowledgeable about both american and french history. he was a fabulous photographer and showed us the best places to take pictures. he spoke great english, was witty and so very smart! you can tell he loves what he does!
Golf cart is the best way to see the guardians, especially with a toddler! Polina (our tour guide) was exceptional and remarkably patient with our two year old throughout the entirety of tour. Cannot say enough great things about her!
