Oliver was amazing. Great tour and so knowledgeable. I have two kids 9 and 6 and this was perfect. If you want to explore the gardens as well book the longer trip.

Dan_C

Nick led my family on an amazing half-day tour of Versailles. He is extremely knowledgeable about the palace, history, architecture, literature and more, and gave us a really valuable education into European history and how things operated at Versailles. He really was outstanding! Highly, highly recommended.

Ruth_h

This was a total scam. I did not find any person, tickets were not provided I had to buy tickets at the museum. Total Scam

Rob_Q

Wonderful tour with a great guide. Olivier knew his history and ensured we understood all that we needed and wanted to know. Very pleasant, very educated in the facts. The history and beauty of Versailles was beyond our expectations. Go for the morning opening if you want to avoid the biggest crowds.

Really informative, in depth tour of Versailles and grounds with our guide Henri from Togo. Our guide was a fountain of knowledge about the court system, all the different kings, dauphins, queens, etc. Learned not only about the rooms, but the historical events depicted in the paintings inside the rooms, and about individuals in the paintings and sculptures. Learned about why no kitchens inside the castles (fire risk), and how the French kings and court ate cold food as a result. Also learned about the grounds, the gardens, and the canals. History major husband still found a lot to learn on the tour! Well done.

Amanda_K

We had an amazing tour with our guide Chris. I’m not sure I would want to do this any other way. He was very knowledgeable and informative about all things Versailles and the added bonus was skipping the large lines and being able to go at our own pace and ask questions.

Beverly_T

Must do tour! Excellent from start to finish. Guide pick up prompt. Contact and info delivered prompt. Guides was knowledgeable friendly and delivered a great experience. Would do again most certainly

Hannah_P

We enjoyed our tour at Versailles Palace and our guide was very knowledgeable. For the price of the private tour/transfer for two, I did expect a bit more such as waters in the van or a golf cart included in the Gardens portion. Visiting was a true experience and I would recommend to anyone visiting Paris.

Kathy_A

Nick our tour guide was so informative and was very knowledgeable! It was so nice to have a tour guide for two instead of being in a large group. It was so convenient to be picked up from the hotel and to skip the lines! Highly recommend.
