“My husband and I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for the incredible bike tour in Versailles. We had a wonderful time and truly appreciated Andrea’s knowledge, humor, and kindness throughout the day. His insights brought the history to life in an engaging and fun way, making the experience both educational and memorable. Choosing to explore Versailles by bike was the perfect decision, and having Andrea as our guide made it even more special. The magical touch of the fountains being on added an unforgettable charm to the scenery. Thank you again for an exceptional tour!”
Shop the Latin Quarter market, cook a 3-course lunch with wine pairings, then leave with electronic recipes from a small Paris class.
“It’s a full experience with a market place experience and a super chef, Luc. He was highly trained in culinary expertise and very patient with all of us (10 in class) as we gleaned from his wisdom. I felt like he wasn’t just our teacher but blended with us as a friend who truly cared about us and our experience. It was pure joy and a delightful day with an an amazing lunch and wine to share.”

Electric bike day trip from Paris to Versailles with market picnic, Marie-Antoinette stops, and skip-stress train return.
“This was one of our favorite activities during our recent trip to Paris - it is a fabulous way to see sites outside of the city that we would never have known about otherwise. Adrian was a great tour guide and the e-bikes made the distance super easy. We had a little rain, but it wasn’t bad at all and the rain covers provided were a huge plus (we used them as blankets to sit on for the picnic). The only downside was that we had dinner reservations back in the city and had to head back soon after the guide dropped us for the palace visit. I would recommend…”

“We really enjoyed having a guide with us for our tour through the flea market. He was able to give us a clear idea which vendors to go to. We bought some beautiful vintage prints on his recommendation. (I think his name was Anthony, but I am doing this review 2 weeks after and I'm not positive that is correct.) We wish we had more time as the flea market is massive! Would highly recommend!!”

Each store she suggested really hit the target for my personal style and it was she was so fun to be with that it just made the whole day wonderful. When we were…”
