Grigor’s Versailles tour!
Grigor was our guide. We arranged the trip on the fly. We were already in Paris and decided to go to Versailles. He was fantastic. His English is impeccable and his knowledge of the United States and building in the humor between our two countries was priceless. He really knows what’s going on in the world. he also moved us in and out in a small group so that we could avoid crowds and get maximum tour exposure and time to take photographs.

Eiffel tower tour with summit
Tamara was very knowledgeable about the Tower. She gave us an excellent and memorable tour of the Tower. The tour started as soon as we walked up to the Tower. She told us about how it was built and about the names on the Tower. She then took us to the 2nd floor. She gave us the highlights of the areas of Paris we could see from each direction. We were undecided when we wanted to go to the summit. Since we were undecided, she gave us the tickets for the summit and let us go at our own pace. We were there for several hours. Saw the Tower 'sparkle' at 9 and 10. Be sure to stop on the first floor before you go down to the ground (elevator doesn't stop on the way up). That is where the restaurant and more viewing can be had. We had that whole floor to ourselves when we stopped. It was a great time!
Operator response
It sounds like you had a wonderful time! Tamara’s knowledge and flexibility really made the experience special. The view and the sparkle of the Tower must have been unforgettable. Glad you enjoyed it!

Mother daughter Spring break trip!
Our guide, Div was informative and engaging. Our group included a range of children and he was great with questions and accessibility. The company also presented my daughter with some treats, in honor of her birthday…that was a very nice touch.
I highly recommend the tour!
