We had Frederic as our guide and he was great...very knowledgeable and could answer all of our questions. He was very efficient in getting us in & out of the places we needed to be. Plus, he took us to an awesome local crepe restaurant for lunch. Very nice tour!

We were driven by Christian, a wonderful wonderful person. He's very seasoned, excellent driver, impeccable mannerism, delightfully friendly. Philippe was very easy to work with in terms of booking our tour. I would highly recommend this company and Christian as a tour guide.

We (two adults, two teens) were first driven to Giverney, and we were able to enjoy the famous bridge and lily pond before the property became very busy with people, which allowed for some great photo opportunities. The property is beautiful and very worth visiting (home of Claude Monet).

We visited Versailles in the afternoon. Christian parked near the lake (pond) and outdoor cafe / restaurant, which allowed us to walk through the gardens on the way to the Palais. We had really wanted to see the gardens and many of the tours we researched did not include the gardens for the 1/2 day option.

We had a skip the line ticket for a 2:30 tour (one still has to go through security, we were there on June 30, 2019 and didn't wait more than about 15 minutes to enter the security check area, which was great as the crowds were thick). Christian educated us about the gardens, statues and other areas of the beautiful grounds and we arrived exactly on time for our 2:30 tour.

He's very knowledgable of both Giverny and Versailles, and he acted as our personal tour guide in the Palais as well, giving us interesting history all along the way.

We enjoy musuem settings, but felt an entire day at Versailles was problaby a bit much for us. A half day in Giverny and half day in Versailles was exactly right and we didn't feel like we missed anything. We never felt rushed at either venue.

Christian was charming, held the door for the van, talked about the countryside as we drove back and forth from Paris to Normandy, and picked us up at our apartment and dropped us off at our door. We had such great fun talking with him.

We couldn't have asked for better service and felt we got a great value for the cost of the tour. Again highly recommend Best of France!

If I hadn’t recently experienced tours with Best of France, I might have thought so many positive reviews were some kind of marketing scheme: let me assure you this is not true. Our family’s time spent with Best of France was memorable, enjoyable, easy, and best of all...fun! We took a day trip to Versailles and Giverny with Frederic, and from start to finish it was a magical day for us.
Everyone’s experiences will vary, but with a company with such obviously high standards for their team, Best of France offers a chance to relax and see things in new ways with people who obviously care. Our kids are 19 and 15 and they could not have been happier with the day. It did not hurt that rather than dropping us at our hotel afterward, at our request Frederic dropped us off at shopping and recommended a place for galettes and crêpes we all really loved.
Also, if you go for lunch to the bakery in the town of Versailles I recommend the “sandwich curry chicken” as it was one of my favorite meals during our entire week in the Paris area.
Best of France is not an exaggeration!
