Louvre from top to bottom with Lily! A must see.
Lily our guide was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and very accommodating to my friend with a cane. Lily made the tour fun and we’d definitely take it again.

DO NOT USE! Go to the Vatican's official website instead.
DO NOT USE! Use the Vatican's official website instead. They charged us 518 Euros for 4 people as part of a bigger group for a tour provided City Wonders Ltd. If we had booked directly with the Vatican's official website the cost would have been 160 Euros for a guided group tour in English. The title of our tour was "Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, & St Peter's Basillica." The fine print buried far below which had to be expanded to be seen said that St Peter's could not be visited until 100 PM on Wednesdays. Our tour was at 930 on Wednesday. Our tour guide told us we should have been notified. We we were not. The caveat was supposedly some expanded tour of the Vatican Museum which was irrelevant as the guide left us far behind and we lost headset reception. The tour did not last the advertised 3 hrs. Additionally rather than the advertised benefit of an Exclusive Entry Line our line was well over 100 meters long and it took us a long while to gain entry. This tour was misrepresented and VASTLY, VASTLY overpriced. I trusted the booking since it was through Trip Advisor. I am so disappointed in Trip Advisor and have lost all confidence in their ability to provide solid referrals to subvendors. Why charge over 3x the official website's price? Why allow a misleading title to be used for an excursion? The TITLE should have said "...St Peter's Basillica (except Wed until 100 PM)" and the price should have been reduced accordingly.This is egregious and unbecoming of a company that values its reputation.

Awe inspiring and educational!
It was amazing to see the actual gardens that inspired so much of Monet’s work! Our guide Maltilda has studied art and Monet extensively and gave us great stories and explanations of the period and Monet’s influences.

Don't bother with trip advisor
This was an awful experience. The meeting point information was confusing and trip advisor was more concerned about telling me how there wasn't a refund instead of helping me out. This was the first and only time I will ever book through travel advisor again.

Giverny with Matilda. highly recommended
Matilda gave a fascinating insight into the life and works of Claude Monet and Giverny. It really helped to bring the visit to life. Giverny was an incredible place to visit for anyone who loves the arts, and gardens. Probably the most spectacular floral displays I have seen in many years. Thank you Matilda.

Very interesting and worth the price! Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The Vatican is beautiful to see. Without a tour guide, I wouldn’t know all the history behind the art.

Disappointed!
After numerous messages and reminders about the trip, 24 hours before we leave, we were informed that the trip is canceled. Due to unforeseen circumstances. Very disappointing. But we received an instant refund.

Stunning, educational tours with expert guides
*Note, there was not a bathroom on the bus, but we had bathroom breaks immediately on arrival at both sites.* Both the Monet/Giverny and Versailles tours were educational and lovely. Daniel (Giverny) was an energetic guide who blended humor with historical context in his session, keeping us awake on the early morning bus ride to the village, which was a very charming attraction itself. Anais (Versailles) was masterful at leading us calmly through the castle crowds, peppering her lessons with salacious details about the royals’ personal lives in the breathtaking palace. Both guides did an excellent job preparing us for the massive crowds, as well. The pickup and dropoff locations were straightforward with detailed instructions provided. Note that there is one meal break, in Giverny for lunch. I would recommend for a day trip during a Paris vacation; go the bathroom before you leave home, and bring snacks and water.

The tour itself was great. Skipped line to get into museum, saw lots of amazing art and was led into the sistene chapel to spend as much time as we would like in there. However, my tour guide was not good. Her microphone was poorly placed so everything she said was muffled and not comprehensible. She also walked quickly without allowing time to admite the shown works and take pictures.

Hendricks did a fabulous job with his knowledge and wisdom. He had many photos as a guide to illustrate the story he was telling.

An absolutely fantastic...
An absolutely fantastic way to experience the heart of ancient Rome. This guided tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill was worth every penny and an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment we met our guide, it was clear we were in good hands. Their passion for Roman history was contagious, and they brought the ruins to life with fascinating stories and rich historical context. The most significant benefit was undoubtedly skipping the incredibly long lines, which saved us hours of valuable time. Our guide expertly navigated the crowds, ensuring we saw all the key highlights without feeling rushed. Exploring the Colosseum while listening to tales of gladiatorial combat was awe-inspiring, and wandering through the remnants of the Roman Forum felt like a step back in time. The panoramic views from Palatine Hill were the perfect grand finale, offering a breathtaking perspective of the entire area. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to truly understand and appreciate the history of these incredible landmarks. It was an efficient, educational, and truly memorable experience.

High level D-Day in a Day
This was a great tour. High level tour of the D-Day sites. Hard to fit it all into one day, but if that is what you are looking for this is perfect. Think the value for the money is there to top at all of these sites, have lunch included (decent pizza and fish) and admission to the Utah museum.
