This was a WONDERFUL tour. We were met on time by our driver and tour guide, Ollie. He is knowledgeable, informative, personable and friendly. The tour is paced well. We spent a part of our time at Chateaux de Fontainebleau and the last part at Vaux Le Vicomte Palace. Both locations had very interesting back stories. We saw beautiful scenery in between these locations. Ollie made several suggestions for lunch & we chose an outdoor restaurant where we received excellent service & delicious food - lasagna with a side salad and wine.

These chateaus are versailles, but without all of the crowds. Beautiful gardens, incredibly appointed rooms, and knowledgeable guides make this experience 100% worth it.

Great tour , private no hassle vip type of tour instead of a bus packed with 150 people from Paris , we were only 5 and it was excellent, make sure you tell your guide to spend time in the gardens if you don’t do the gardens don’t even bother to go , it is of utmost importance as much as the chateaus wich you can pin point the important rooms and skip the rest in my opinion giving you time to explore outside the majestic gardens and the breathtaking architecture of the palaces. This tour is worth the extra charge making it a much more enjoyable experience, our guide clementine went her way out for us and giving us plenty of time on each place to wander through inside and outside, I would recommend this tour even would do it again in our next visit .

Drive to the countryside was refreshing and visiting both chateaus informative. After experiencing the jostling crowds at Versailles, being able to leisurely stroll through these properties and gardens was so much better.

The trip was amazing! Brunhilde is a wonderful guide, so kind and knowledgeable. She arrived a bit early and got us checked in and on the road early. I highly recommend this trip, especially for history buffs like me. I'll definitely book with Get Your Guide/Blue Fox again.

The pagent of Napoleon at Fontainebleau, the palace Vicomte, our guide was knowledgeable, interesting & fun to share the day with 💖🌹🎉

Our timing was perfect. At Fontainebleau we got to see the re-enactment of Napoleon’s Farewell speech to his troops. Our guide, Brunhilde, went out of her way to make sure we got to see everything. She was outstanding. Vaux-Le-Comte was also excellent, although the audio tour was somewhat out of synch, it certainly made you feel for the Comte and his family facing the jealousy of the king.

Fountainbleau and Vaux-le-Vicompte were spectacular with Brunhilde. We attended the 210th anniversary of Napoleon’s abdication with his speech and watching soldiers of his old guard March and camp out on Fountainbleau’s grounds. Vaux-le-Vicompte is a rare treat to view some of France’s startling architectural achievements. Thank you

Highlight was Vaux Le Vicomte but entire tour was interesting and our guide Brunhilde was well organised well informed and an absolute delight. She handled the driving skilfully and included extra sights and explanations outside the main tour outline. Would definitely recommend the trip but would hope you had a guide like ours to ensure a really happy, relaxed and satisfying tour.
