“We all agree that Ryan made this tour absolutely perfect. His theatrical experience brought this tour to life. His knowledge of the history of France/ Versailles was impressive and he relayed it to our diverse group very well. The whole group was laughing and having an amazing time. Market experience was great and Ryan gave great pointers on food to buy. Riding the bikes around the grounds of Versailles and the picnic by the Grand Canal was so picturesque. There’s no better way to do this experience! It is worth the day trip away from Paris :)!!”
