We used Mandy for 2 tours: The Louvre, and Versailles. Mandy did an excellent job sharing her knowledge of history and art appreciation. She made the tour very easy and enjoyable for all of us. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a Paris/Versailles tour.

Mandy was very friendly and knowledgeable! We learned a lot and had fun learning about Versailles. She showed us an area we probably wouldn’t have seen if we had visited ourselves that we really enjoyed. Thank you Mandy!

Mandy is the ideal guide. She is a wealth of knowledge conveyed in a charming manner. Her illustrations added immeasurably to our experience and understanding of court life. She took excellent photographs of us and always seemed able to locate open benches for us to sit while she explained the room. She made everything come to life in the palace and in the gardens.

We've taken previous tours with Mandy and when we had the opportunity to attend the Olympics it was a perfect complement to tour Versailles. She arranged transportation and we spent a half day touring the grounds and the Palace and even my grandchildren were mesmerized. I would highly recommend Mandy for any tour.
