Oxana made this outing a really wonderful experience for my grand daughter, Madeleine and her friend, Hope. It was a beautiful, educational outing and a beautiful day! Eat was exactly as they wanted and that I hoped I had arranged. We highly recommend her as a Tours By Locals guide to Versailles.

Oxana was an amazing guide. Easy to understand and very flexible with our needs. Visiting Versailles was our top priority and she made the visit perfect.
Sidney Keith –
Oxana was a fantastic guide. She made our visit to Versailles so much better than if we had tried to learn ourselves. She even gave us some commentary in the car on the ride there about the surrounding areas and about Versailles when we got closer, and she gave us some recommendations for other things to do and see! Thanks so much!

Oxana had everyone in our group engaged with the story of Versailles. She has an infectious level of excitement for art history, & pointed out many things that would likely have gone unnoticed if we didn’t have her at our disposal. Logistically speaking, we appreciated her accompaniment through the Metro to Versailles – one less thing to worry about. It was clear that she has thoroughly studied every surface and aspect of the palace. We genuinely felt like this experience was a behind the scenes tour.

Oxana was brilliant, ushering us the best and most natural ways through Versailles. Her knowledge of the history engaged us for the entire trip from Paris to Versailles and gave us rare views in the gardens. Highly recommend her on your next trip. A must for the 20 rooms in the palace!

We enjoyed our tour guide “Oxanna” so much. She was very knowledgeable and engaging. She spoke very clearly and precisely. Even though we are Americans, we understood her with no trouble. She was a joy to be with and was very helpful in answering questions about our visit to Paris. If we get a chance to go back to Paris, I will hire her again.

Oxana is fantastic! A wealth of fascinating knowledge and she has a very pleasant personality to boot. Easily the best private tour our family has ever taken. We traveled around in a beautiful, air-conditioned van with a very helpful and safety conscious driver (not easy on Paris roads!). Merci Oxana for helping make our family trip very special!

We had several tours with Oksana and all of them were done highly professional. They were interesting and at the same time not too overwhelming. Oksana is an amazing tour guide and it will be a pleasure for future tourists to use her services.
