TRAFFIC IN PARIS
Please note that traffic between Paris and Versailles can sometimes extend travel times to over an hour. To optimize your journey:
• Pickups: Our pickups are limited to the western part of Paris and select districts to reduce long vehicle trips and avoid delays.
• Departure to Versailles: We recommend choosing a meeting point in the western part of Paris. This allows the driver sufficient time to reach Versailles and ensures you arrive on schedule for your guided visit.
• Return to Paris: If your final destination is in central or eastern Paris, consider selecting a return meeting point in the western part of the city (e.g., near the Eiffel Tower). From there, you can conveniently use the metro to reach your destination.
By following these suggestions, you can minimize travel time and enjoy a smoother overall experience. For personalized advice on meeting points or metro routes, feel free to contact us. We are here to help make your trip as seamless as possible.

CUSTOMERS REVIEWS
Our party of three enjoyed this tour on 11 October 2018, and “enjoyed” is way too mild a word for our satisfaction! We regard this experience as the height of our Paris stay! Hotel pickup prompt, driver Rudolf charming and articulate, Giverny breathtaking. Just do it!
Hi Flavy,
I wanted you to know that we were VERY impressed by your service! Your driver Christopher was right on time, very professional and a very good driver. Your service is really the best way to get to Giverny and back. Thanks again and keep up the good work!!
Best regards,
Jeff and Ruth
