Myself and my wife had a fantastic time our guide was very knowledgable and accommodating. Although, it was during COVID-19 we felt safe and appreciate the precautions which were taken by Versailles and Venez Discover during our tour.

***DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE*** TERRIBLE customer service. Have contacted them before the Covid pandemic asking for a refund. Did not receive it. Then Covid hit - asked MANY times via email for a refund. This trip was for 4 adults - for a cost of 476Euros. There have been so many emails - and they keep saying that a refund is in the works. First they said immediately, then they said 6 months. I cannot recommend this tour operator due to this blatant disrespect of their customers. I need these funds back. I was out of work for more than 8 months - and this is really unacceptable.

We learnt so much about photography on this visit. Mark showed us how to get great images of things we would have walked by without even seeing. My husband found out that his DSLR camera was capable of more than he knew. I was blown away by the images Mark helped me get with my point and shoot camera. We definitely recommend Mark's photography tours.

My college age daughter and I had a great time seeing the sights with Ali in Feb 2020. He took us to spots with beautiful views of the city by night -views we would not have found on our own. Ali was easy to reach to meet up with and was a friendly, helpful guide.
