Best Day trips from Paris

JB our guide was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. His knowledge of Paris and Mont Saint-Michel was remarkable. We all enjoyed our day. 10/10.

Mont-Saint-Michel - Jodie

Awesome trip! The entire experience was seamless and easy.

Mont-Saint-Michel - Jennifer

We saw the beautiful and majestic Mont Saint-Michel and learned a lot about its history and geology. Our tour guide, Andreas, was extremely professional, enthusiastic, and considerate. ❤

Mont-Saint-Michel - Junwei

This was our favorite day tour of the week. Do not miss this one.

Bruges - Elizabeth

The trip was well-planned at a relaxing pace no rushing to keep up and plenty of rest stops. Plus a good balance of group and personal time.

Bruges - Michael

Our guide, Roland, was brilliant from start to finish!!! He was very engaging and constantly pointed out interesting sights and details along the way that we would have completely missed otherwise.

Bruges - Luke

Oh my God it was a wonderful experience. Not only was the place full of beautiful with its buildings, its history but the ride didn't feel long at all. The moment you pull into the little town you see its beauty...

Bruges - Dennis

We were a small group in a mini-van. The trip was well-planned at a relaxing pace: no rushing and plenty of rest stops.

Bruges - Adriana

We walked around the area of Markt while our guide noted places to see, then we separated for our own personal time. The trip was well-planned at a relaxing pace.

Bruges - Gustavo

A prefect day spent discovering these amazing castles. Everything was spot on. The coach was brand new, comfortable and air conditioned. Our guide Remy very knowledgable and polite was introducing the history of the castles before arriving in the coach. We enjoyed being given the freedom to spend our visit as we wished. Everything was well paced, although sometimes a little bit rushed- but of course that's the compromise to make when 3 castles are in the program!

Loire Valley Castles - Eva A

Thank you so much for letting me join the Loire Valley châteaux tour! Gabriel, the driver and guide, was extremely kind to me even though I was travelling alone, which made the trip truly enjoyable. The driving was safe and reassuring. The two couples with us were also lovely, and I am really glad I chose this service. Thank you again!

Loire Valley Castles - Kanami

The trip was fantastically interesting! A lot was covered and the subject was most interesting. Just needed a little longer on first morning break for a more relaxed coffee as we started so early! Loved it . Serge made trip for us as he personally remembered our names and made many good jokes! He made our trip!

Loire Valley Castles - Heidi

We had a wonderful day in the Loire Valley with Jean-Baptiste, a very warm and knowledgeable guide. the three chateaux were magnificent, each worth a visit and just beautiful in their individual way. it was a long day but well structured with time for breaks between the visits.

Loire Valley Castles - Robyn

Great to travel with a small group. Remy was great guide and helped us navigate long line-up during a long weekend. He provide interesting information about the three amazing and quite different chateaux we visited. Wow, the architecture, size of 'hunting lodges' and gardens were great. Thanks Remy

Loire Valley Castles - Katherine

Our guide/driver Nicolas was great - very knowledgeable and a safe driver. We had the perfect amount of time to spend in each castle. It makes for a long day of visiting so make sure you are rested and dressed for a lot of walking.

Loire Valley Castles - iLOVEsp

I really liked how open, nice and caring the guide was. Very interesting tour, very good time management. Very convenient meeting point. Amazing experience!

Loire Valley Castles - Tatiana

We took the van tour, not the bus tour. Van accommodated up to 8 people and ours only had 6 so that was nice. Would not have wanted 8 because then two would have to sit upfront with driver. We had a great tour guide, Serge, who is very knowledgeable and great personality. Saw 3 chateaux which was plenty for the day. Had enough time to see each. Wine tasting at the end was a little weak.

Loire Valley Castles - Karen K

This was one of my favourite day trips from Paris and the Chateau de Chenonceau has been on my bucket list for a very long time! It's quite a long day, so be prepared and bring something to eat and drink as the bus ride is approx 2-3 hours one way. Nevertheless, we went on a very hot day in September and absolutely loved all the stops, as well as the countryside along the way! Chenonceau and Chambord is absolutely worth the drive, Cheverny is quite small but still very interesting.

Loire Valley Castles - Bernice

What a fabulous guide Elyesse is! And everything else was just as impressive - Nicolas the driver is charming and extremely professional.

Versailles Palace - mayad...

I booked the trip to Versailles with France Tourisme. We left by bus from their agency which is close to the Louvre. The bus was clean, comfortable and air conditioned. We could admire Paris and listen to the guide's comments. Arrived at Versailles, we have quick access to the castle thanks to the priority access ticket. When I saw the queue in front of the Chateau, I was very happy to have this cut-line ticket! Versailles is breathtaking! We visited the castle, the estate of Marie Antoinette and the gardens. We were lucky enough to come the day they had the fountains show. It was wonderful. I am delighted to have made this excursion. Everything was well organized. I did not have to worry about anything. Thank you France Tourism

Versailles Palace - Marshall_Family

A wonderful visit to a magnificent place, brought to life by the commentary of our fantastic guide Elyesse. A truly special moment surrounded by History! Highly recommended.

Versailles Palace - Isabelle...

We had a wonderful time as a family and learned so much thanks to Elyesse, our guide. A big thank you as well to Nicolas, our driver, for the ride! Highly recommended!

Versailles Palace - 745yar.

Convenient way to visit Versailles. They take care of the transportation and the skip-the-line tickets. We went during an off-peak so there weren't a lot of people in Versailles

Versailles Palace - jajajaja

We really enjoyed our visit to the Palace of Versailles. The quality of the service, the punctuality, and the information shared by our guide were all excellent. Thank you to Florian, Sylvie, and the rest of the team!

Versailles Palace - Sylvie

This was the best!! I prefer self guided tours, you do them at your own pace.. our driver was so nice and gave us some history on Paris the Palace and architecture.. Highly recommend!!

Versailles Palace - GetYourGuide traveller

Excellent! Frédéric, our driver and accidental guide went beyond his duties and was so helpful and friendly! Provided mass of information in the most interesting and cheerful way! My husband and I are so grateful for his services

Versailles Palace - Tatiana

A big thank you to Elyesse for her professionalism and attentiveness. This guide adapts seamlessly to her guests' requests. The experience was consistently excellent from start to finish.

Versailles Palace - mIB338.

A full tour of Champagne production followed by tasting the champagnes. So much to learn and Philipe provided so much more additional information. After lunch we continued on to another exquisite champagne producer and finally to the small village, home to the now deceased monk Dom Perignon who is credited with coming up with the process of champagne production. Highly recommend this! You will enjoy.

Champagne / Reims - Jean

Tour was excellent! Our tour guide Serge was attentive, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed the trip immensely and extras such as bottles of water was an added bonus. Short trip through Barbizon was interesting but as it was half day trip all that there was time for. Fontainebleu is beautiful and well worth a visit. Not crowded and easy to walk round, although in fairness if you can afford the time, perhaps a whole day trip would be better as so many rooms to see and gardens are also beautiful.

Fontainebleau - Alison

Fontainebleau and the picturesque village of Barbizon were amazing. Our guide, Loic, was excellent and made the trip a wonderful and pleasant experience. We had sufficient time to do the self guided Fontainebleau tour, as not as touristy and crowded as other...

Fontainebleau - martins

This was a great way to see the castle. Fountainebleau is a grandiose castle and a must visit destination. I found the Barbizon art village interesting. It was at the edge of the Fountainebleau forest. The journey was very scenic.

Fontainebleau - Carolin

Fontainebleau was the most enjoyable surprise. The place is a real jewel. It is very different from Versailles: while Versailles, magnificent as it is, is cold and alienating, Fontainebleau is warm and cozy. The Renaissance architecture abs design at ts best.

Fontainebleau - margali

JB was a fantastic guide. He was so knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. He even explained lots of things about Paris as we drove in and out of the city, which was unexpected and really insightful. It was a very busy day at Fontainebleau with lots of big groups and school children but JB had no control over that.

Fontainebleau - Marie

Simply put, excellent. Serge was an awesome guide and host. Kept us informed along the entire trip. Was clear and concise with all instructions. It was a small group and we were all really able to enjoy the entire trip.

Fontainebleau - Russell

Trip to the castle was easy and seamless! Our driver shared some history of Fontainebleau before our visit and afterward on our trip back through the old artist village. The audio guide wasn't the best but it helped guide us through the lavish apartments in the castle—absolutely over the top and amazingly well preserved! Half day timing allowed us about 2 hours at the castle which I found perfect.

Fontainebleau - Lizabeth

Great tour. Our tour-guide Felipe was friendly, knowledgable, and went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable.

Fontainebleau - GetYourGuide traveller

Fountainbleu is like a slightly smaller Versailles without any of the crowds. Full van but comfortable with a helpful multilingual guide to help everyone. Didn’t know what to expect with the small town of Barbizon but I loved it. Complete opposite of Fountainbleu but equally interesting

Fontainebleau - Chris_B

Great tour to picturesque Fontainebleau estate and Barbizon. We appreciated being with a smaller group and our guide was informative and entertaining on the ride to/from the estate.

Fontainebleau - mejamr

The trip was very good and well organized. Michael was very helpful. The trip is good if you wish to visit the chateau and the gardens within short time. If you need to spend more time, a day long trip is recommended. Overall a good experience.

Fontainebleau - Manasi

Guide was good, knowledgeble and friendly Good pace. Nice historical notes and the drive through Brabazon.

Fontainebleau - Brian

We had a small group of four, three Americans and one Frenchwoman, and a wonderful driver, Edoardo, and our shared experience made it worthwhile and a lot of fun. Wish we had had more time at the palace, and also at Barbizon, but we did make it to both of these sites, learned a lot, enjoyed the companionship, and all had a good time.

Fontainebleau - pietsi

Beautiful château. We loved it. The furniture, the paintings, the landscape with the lake. Everything was absolutely lovely.

Fontainebleau - Adriana

Antonio did a great job. We really enjoyed it he was great. There were no audio guides but Antonio was great!!! Mmmmmmmmmm

Fontainebleau - temebr

The tour was very nice as we departed from Paris towards Normandy. There were some concerns about the size of the van that we were to travel in, but things worked out very well for each of us. The tour guide was helpful with information and ensured we had breaks as we traveled from Paris. We visited a variety of stops along the tour and had time to enjoy a meal and tour other sites as well. We did have an unexpected delay as one of our attendees lost their way back to the departure point while in Normandy, but this was solved by the attendee being assisted by the local police station. We picked them up just a few walks down the road and made our way back to Paris. Overall a very nice trip and experience.

Normandy: D-Day Beaches - Jason

I booked this trip for myself and my young adult son who is fascinated by the facts of WW2. We shared a comfortable 8-seater mini coach with two young American couples. Our guide, Reza, was excellent - extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We had plenty of time at the Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery & Museum, before going on to the lovely seaside village of Arromanches-les-Bains for a good lunch and walk around. As well as being great day tour, it was great value and the lowest priced tour of this kind.

Normandy: D-Day Beaches - Tony

We had a Fantastic day trip to Normandy, even more than we hoped for!! As it turned out, our small group tour ended up being only my husband & me!!! Our guide, John Baptiste was Great as was his guide-in-training Reno. We saw a lot more because it was just us. The drive was early & long but their explanations of what we were seeing were very appreciated. Being on these hallowed beaches & in these towns was extremely moving, & for us as Americans. We met Many French citizens who Thanked us for saving their country. It was quite humbling, especially at the American Cemetery. If you can, take this day trip. You will not be disappointed!

Normandy: D-Day Beaches - Vivian

My family and I were incredibly satisfied with our trip to Giverny. As an artist, I was hoping to get more information and context about Monet, his art and the importance of his work at that time. I got exactly what I was hoping for, mainly thanks to our guide Benjamin. His passion and genuine interest in what he talks about sets him apart from other guides I've had before. Traveling in a minibus with strangers can sometimes be a bit awkward, but Benjamin's positive humor and his knowledge of Paris made the whole trip very enjoyable. We are very happy with our visit to Giverny and we highly recommend booking with Benjamin.

Giverny / Monet - Marcus

My mother and I had a wonderful experience on the Giverny trip in early April. The France Tourisme agency was very easy to find, as it is located next to the metro station, and it was very pleasant to be able to wait inside the agency for our guide, Nicolas, to come and meet us. We very much appreciated his professionalism, his attentiveness and his extensive knowledge. He really did everything to make us feel comfortable during this excursion. We highly recommend Nicolas and France Tourisme to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable experience in Paris.

Giverny / Monet - Christine

We booked this excursion with France Tourisme for a half day in Giverny, after comparing the offers of other agencies. To be honest, we weren't sure what to expect when we booked the semi-private minibus tour. France Tourisme exceeded our expectations, and my wife and I enthusiastically recommend this tour to other travelers. Our guide, Roland, was kind, clear in his explanations, pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful and very interesting. One of the incredible things he did was guide us to avoid some of the larger groups during our visit to Giverny. We had the feeling of enjoying a private visit to Monet's house, his gardens and his pond. This visit to Giverny was extraordinary and far exceeded our expectations. An extremely successful experience!
