Lovely Visit to Versailles - We had a wonderful visit to Versailles, particularly because of Anna, who was very knowledgeable but also had a great sense of humor and made it fun. The tour to the king's private rooms was fantastic - highly recommended, particularly if it's crowded (which it often is). The only disappointment was the weather, which was very cold and wet especially for May, so we didn't spend any time in the gardens. Something for next time!

Fabulous experience - Fantastic experience, we booked a semi private tour for 3 people which became a private tour on the morning.Our tour guide Grigor was not only a pleasure but a fountain of knowledge regaling us with the history of the stunning Versailles Palace,
The Palace is amazing and well worth a visit, with the tour we got to skip the queue and had access to areas that can only be viewed with the tour so it was definitely worth it ,
This tour was definitely the highlight of our holiday and made all the more memorable by our wonderful tour guide Grigor ⭐️ who made it feel like we traced the footsteps of old with a friend!

Wonderful Visit to Versailles - The visit to the King’s Apartments was fantastic, especially because of how crowded the public spaces were that day. Such a peaceful way to visit Versailles. Our guide, Anna, was funny, interesting and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed her company.

Girls Trip! Unforgettable Versailles Tour - During a girls trip to Paris - Our experience with Liv Tours and our guide Milan on the semi-private 2 1/2 hour Versailles tour was nothing short of exceptional. From skipping the lines to immersing ourselves in the highlights of the palace, it was the perfect balance of efficiency and depth.
Milan truly brought Versailles to life with his captivating storytelling and remarkable historical insights. His passion for the subject matter was evident, making the tour both informative and engaging. It’s rare to find a guide who can convey so much in such a short time, yet Milan exceeded our expectations.
For anyone looking to make the most of their time at Versailles without sacrificing depth, I highly recommend this tour with Milan at Liv Tours. It’s an unforgettable experience that leaves you with a newfound appreciation for this iconic landmark.

Easy Going, Fun & Informative Tour - We had a great experience with LivTours in Italy, we decided to use them again in France. Our tour guide, Claire, did an excellent job showing us Versailles Palace and Gardens. The tour felt personal, casual and was easy paced. I really like how you learn a lot of historical facts through a story telling -esque style. Would highly recommend LivTours, I felt I got this same high quality experience with a tour we did in Italy as well, so I feel confident in using this tour company again for any destination.

Private tour for two - Must do tour. You won’t regret.
Easy to book, we added the private driver who was also super great. We had extra time so got a bonus tour of the market nearby.

Beautiful palace with a pro guide - The palace is amazing, and Vivianne did a great job of explaining the significance of each room. She also brought the historical characters to life with her commentary. The tour ends in the gardens, which are way more interesting than I expected. Vivianne made everything go smoothly and also takes great photos. I highly recommend this company and tour.
