Wonderful Tour of the Gardens and Pantheon
Jalina_M, Sept 2025
Paul R. is a wonderful guide. He met us on time and began speaking to us about the rich history of the area. He is very personable and shared his wealth of knowledge about the Luxembourg Gardens and the Pantheon. The walk through both locations was at a acceptable pace and, though we did not need to, he offered us plenty of opportunities to sit and rest as he spoke with us. We also ran into Paul at Versailles a few days later and, though he was leading another tour, he quickly and warmly greeted us as they passed us by. He is a wonderful asset the guide community.

It’s fantastic that his knowledge, personable approach, and attention to your comfort made a strong impression. We also love that he took the time to greet you at Versailles—he truly is a remarkable member of our guide community. Warm regards, Rosotravel Team
