Outstanding and punctual service! Our driver was a true professional.

From the moment we were picked up to when we reached our final destination, everything was absolutely fantastic.
HIGHLY recommend Marcel Tours for private trips in Paris

Just had a lovely 5 hour round trip to Fountainebleu. Benjamin was an excellent driver and so polite. He was very punctual, the car was comfortable and everything went very smoothly indeed. We were picked up from our Paris hotel and had a comfortable ride to Fountainebleu, right to the palace gates. We’d already booked our palace tickets but we could have done that on the day. Fountainebleu was so much more relaxed and pleasant than Versailles, we were able to see rooms without any crowds. A magnificent piece of history even if not quite as grand as Versailles- less Louis XIV influence here - but still awesome and fairly elaborate decoration. And a tour of the gardens as well - fairly simple but good. 3 hours was just right for our visit and Benjamin was waiting for us at the time and place agreed. When we got back Benjamin gave us a nice tin of biscuits, an unexpected surprise. Also to note that Galena was great as well when we made pre booking enquiries- efficient and quick in replying. She also sent us a pay on line link which was much appreciated.
Great alternative to Versailles
Debra_L, May 2023
Fountainbleau is as opulent as Versailles and so less crowded. There were times we were the only ones in a room. It was free on the Paris Museum Pass. It was great being picked up at our hotel in a Mercedes van and returned there. Our driver, Brice, was very personable. He played tapes with info of various sites in Paris. We were late getting back to the car, and he was pleasant about it, although we felt bad about it.
Excellent, comfortable way to travel

This is a fantastic way to tour countryside places. We did a few bus tours but it was getting more & more difficult for my husband to navigate getting on & off the bus and keep up with his artificial joints. The car was very comfortable, lots of leg room, Marcel our driver was extremely helpful and very personable. We had a wonderful audio tour of Chateau Fountainbleu at our own pace. Marcel picked us up at the front gate on time. It was haste free. I would use this company again it’s worth the price.
Itinerary
Fontainebleau
A nice tour to Fontainebleau Castle is located about 60 km south-east of Paris. He served as the residence of the French kings for seven centuries, from Francois I to Napoleon III. Many crowned people of Europe came here, including Emperor Peter I and Pope Pius VII. Here Napoleon was saying goodbye to his army during his first abdication from the throne, and from there he went to the island of Elba. The castle and its garden are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You have the chance to visit the luxurious, recently updated apartments of Napoleon III.Optionally, the tour can be combined with a visit to the nearby castle - Voles-Vicomte, which inspired Louis XIV to build Versailles.
