A private Louvre experience tailored to us

The perfect day at Versailles

“ This tour was the perfect way to see everything in Versailles without worrying about transportation or long lines. Polina arranged everything — we had a great driver with water and candy. We saw the gardens first in a golf cart, then the Petit Trianon as soon as it opened, Le Hameau village and the main palace, where we skipped the long lines. Polina shared her knowledge and stories with us. My son and I had the best day and were not too tired to explore more of Paris after we were dropped back at our hotel. Perfect day!”

Professional, personal and perfectly organized

“ We had a fantastic experience with The Secret of Paris. Everything was perfectly organized from the beginning, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about Parisian history and culture. The tour was very well paced and allowed us to discover both the iconic highlights and some hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. The explanations were engaging and tailored to our interests, which made the visit even more special. Communication with Polina was excellent, and the whole experience felt very professional and personalized. Highly recommended if you are looking for a private, high-quality tour experience in Paris.”

Polina was incredible

“ Polina was INCREDIBLE. We toured the Versailles gardens and palace with my friend and my 13-year-old daughter. Polina was excellent at balancing the information for adults and a teenager. Because of interests we shared during the tour, she was flexible and so knowledgeable that she was able to adapt the experience personally to us while still meeting our Versailles entry times. Her personality is sweet, kind, intelligent and easy-going. You can tell she loves what she does and makes spending time with her enjoyable. I would recommend Polina 11/10.”
