3.Fontainebleau and Vaux le Vicomte Chateaux Day Trip from Paris

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 339 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $138

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Paris to Vaux-le-Vicomte and Fontainebleau. Explore both independently with multilingual audio guides, visit Vaux-le-Vicomte’s dome, and wander formal gardens. This is transportation plus admission, not a guided sightseeing tour, so bring your own curiosity, walking shoes, and a careful eye on departure times.

“I expected a guide to at least accompany us on our trip, possibly discuss some of the local history. We had only a bus driver, who was friendly but gave us no instructions. The buildings were amazing. I really wanted to row a boat at Fontainebleau, but they were not open that day; there was no explanation why.”

4.Disneyland® Paris 1 Day Ticket with Transport from Paris

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 302 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $195

Spend about 11 hours at Disneyland Paris with round-trip coach transport from Pullman Paris Bercy. Choose Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, or both. You receive prebooked admission, then explore independently. The coach returns around 7:00 pm, so plan carefully if you want evening shows or fireworks.

“Traveled to Disney without having to deal with transportation worries. It was fairly easy finding the meet up destination and we left at a good time. Disneyland itself was wonderful and it was a great day for lots of walking and waiting in line. I would say to make sure you are paying attention to the time you are supposed to meet the bus to go back. We left to meet the bus 15 minutes before 7pm but it was too late. Give yourself time to locate where the buses are parked and foot traffic.”

“While it is a long day it is completely worth it. We knew we wanted to take a day trip to Paris while in London and when we started pricing everything individual we found it to be a bit costly. When I found this day trip and what all it included I had to book it. I’m glad I did because we didn’t have to think about anything. Ana did that for us. We met some awesome people and had a relaxing day while seeing the highlights of Paris. If you’re looking for a good day trip then this is it!”

Guides such as Lucienne, Nazli, Johnny, and Ahmed have earned special praise for their storytelling.

“We really enjoyed this trip to Versailles. Our guide (think her name was Stephanie?) was really well-informed but didn't overload us with info (unless we asked). She had a ton of fun facts and a great sense of humor. Versailles was busy when we end in June but even with that, our guide herded all us cats very effectively. Train trip from Paris was nice and easy and we got easy admission since we were in a tour group. Some may balk at the price of these tours but we found it well worth it. Versailles is beautiful but if you don't know the history you really miss out on…”
