Great tour and super efficient travel to and from - The tour guide was on time, friendly and very knowledgable. She did all the coordination for the train and had tickets pre-purchased making it so easy. On the short train ride there she took the time to give some of the backstory of Versailles and what to expect. I thought that was great and saved time. The tour itself was very informative and interesting. We got to see all the main sections of the palace that were open to the public and she told the history and significance of each room. The only thing I’d suggest to change are there are several times where you’d stand in one place for 5-10 minutes. It felt like a lot of wasted time when we could be walking and seeing more. Maybe a new thing to do would be tell a lot of the lineage stories while walking the garden areas instead of standing idle in the rooms. When you’re on these tours people always feel like they want to make the most of their time and standing idle makes them feel antsy. I would absolutely recommend this tour and would probably book it again if I brought another group there again.

Wonderful small group tour, informative and entertaining. Would absolutely recommend for any visitor! - We had the most amazing and entertaining guide, Elizabeth. She was not only extremely fluent and articulate in English, but was an amazing story teller. She made the entire trip into Versailles and the tour itself very entertaining and informative by explaining the history of the people and events connected with this famous chateau, most importantly, King Louis XIV. How she told the story really brought the experience to life and the entire small group felt this tour was the highlight of our visit to Paris. Elizabeth also ensured our safety and comfort by directing us along the way as we took the train, grabbed snacks and found bathrooms as needed. Overall, an excellent experience!

Best tour of Versailles - This was the best tour thanks to the fabulous tour guide. We got to the meeting spot late, she waited, and found us. She knew the history of Versailles and told us in a way to captivate our attention the entire time! The small group was perfect, so much easier to get around. Wonderful experience.

Oh voila!! Best Versailles Tour ☺️ - BEST TOUR!!! Our guide Elizabeth was fantastic. She was so entertaining and kind to us and our kids. They loved it and didn’t even complain about the fact that they were walking for more than a couple of hours. Honestly I would do many more tours with My Super Paris, specially Elizabeth any day!

Easy, engaging, fun, hits all the high notes. - Having our wonderful guide, Elizabeth meet us at the train station to take us to Versailles made the guessing work out of purchasing our tickets and finding the right train to get on. We are a family of four with kids age 16 and 11. Elizabeth was so pleasant, happy, full of interesting stories and made this trip fabulous. She gave us some background history on the way to Versailles and gave us little headsets so that we could hear her well throughout the tour, this is a game-changer when you are in crowds. We walked the gardens, had a snack, and visited the Palais. We personally did not go back with her as we had other plans, but this tour includes the ride back, again making it easy to navigate. Highly recommend, she made it great for everybody.

Great guide but busiest time of year - I only gave 4 reviews bc the skip the line was a mess and out of our guides control. But sitting in the rain and waiting 30/45 min was irritating
