We were guided on the Versailles palace including gardens and private royal residences by Julian. He was an outstanding guide. He was very knowledgeable about Versailles and the Louis’ specifically; but also about history and it social context, in general. On the drive out he discussed the historical relevance of the places we passed. At Versailles he knew exactly where to stand for the best views. His commentary was amazingly informative and we learnt a great deal. Lunch was great. Julian himself was engaging, thoroughly delightful, and very helpful in ensuring that our trip was perfect. We cannot recommend him too highly. Thank you Julian.

Roseanne, our tour guide made the tour special. We were so impressed by her deep knowledge of Versailles. She knew the art, sculptures and artist. She gave a wonderful humanistic history lesson. She was so kind, funny and smart. Roseann knew her subject matter thoroughly. We would take any tour with her. The time went by so quickly. She also was very kind accommodating my terrible knees I will be getting replaced in July LOL!!

We have been going on many tours but the private tour with Roseanne by far was the best. She was extremely knowledgeable. She knew so much about Versalles. She knew the art work, artists, sculpture, everything. It was like taking a tour with an art professor. There was literally nothing she didn’t know. She also gave us a very human side of French history which was lovely.

Absolutely my favorite tour! The highlight for me was the visit to Marie Antoinette’s estate. Amazing! I also learned new details and history about Versailles itself, even though I have visited multiple times in the past. This simply an excellent tour!

Our guide, Lucile, was fantastic. Wonderfully outgoing and knowledgeable....we learned so much on the tour. The tour itself was fantastic....we were able to skip the line at Versailles and get in right when it opened. Marie-Antoinett's estate was very impressive in its own right. If you can afford this, it's a great experience.

Chris was fantastic! He was very prompt picking us up. The drive to Versailles was smooth and comfortable. Chris picked our tickets up while we walked around the gate area and took photos. He took lots of photos for us in the Palace and had such a deep and interesting wealth of knowledge. He recommended the most delicious and affordable restaurant for lunch, and then took us to the Hamlet. We would absolutely tour with him again! He’s great and made this tour absolutely worth the price.

Julien was an excellent guide, from the moment he picked us up from our hotel until the drop off. I had been to the Palace previously and had done the "audio" tour but decided to plump out a little more as my brother and his son were there for the first time. In hindsight i should have done this myself in 2018 as this personal tour was well worth the money. Julien described every piece of art in the various rooms and provided little anecdotes which helped make the tour more interesting. Truly memorable and worthwhile!

We loved this tour. I was unwell when I made the bookings in advance and accidentally selected the wrong pickup address, not realising until the moment we were to be picked up. I was able to contact the operator who knew my booking and communicated with the driver to come and collect us. Our guide for the day, Claude, was very kind attentive and knowledgeable and we are so glad that this is the way we chose to see Versallies. The vehicle was comfy and the day was great. Thanks again, Claude you made a good trip great!
