Chris, LA, USA 
You must get great reviews on Lou all the time but please add us to her fan club. She alone transformed an otherwise great day into an amazing one with her style, knowledge and charm.
Please give Lou our warmest regards, and thank you for your excellent and meticulous door to door service. You, and especially Lou, made our day at Versailles without a doubt our best day in France.
James, New York, USA
The day couldn’t have been better. Our driver and Lou were waiting for us at our apartment and whisked us to the gates of Versailles in elegance and comfort where Lou escorted us past the two hour long line to our VIP entrance.
Lou was the finest tour guide I’ve ever known. She was gracious, helpful, clever, charming and above all else gifted in both her knowledge and her ability to relate the history, culture, art and substance of a very significant period of French history to my family and me.
Jannine, Perth, Australia
We had the most amazing day at Versailles with Julien. He was an absolute pleasure to be with from the moment we met him at our hotel. Such a perfect guide. Engaging, interesting and informative with passion and a sense of fun. What more could you want? Always attentive to our needs; he literally made the experience for us. I know this day will stay with us for life.
