Beautiful palace. Great tour. - Well-organized. We met with our tour guide at the designated park, then our group took the train to Versailles. Then we met another tour guide who took us into the palace. She was an enthusiastic guide with a talent for describing history in such a way that was funny and fascinating.

Versaille is a must-see - One of the best tours ever and so worth the price. We found our meeting spot easily and were taken from Paris to Versaille by Andre. Easy and quick. Once there we were met by Amed who was knowledgeable and easy to understand. He really shared stories that you can't get on a self-guided tour. Don't skip the grounds - - there is so much to see.

Versailles in a Few Hours - Guide (Amehn) took us to all the great spots, and expertly added a storyline to the exhibits before us. He was both knowledgeable and friendly. He helped streamline the entire visit.

Versailles Tour - We enjoyed our tour of Versailles and the grounds with Walks. The meeting point directions were easy and the company was good with communication about changes. Our tour guide, Celine, was so knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. We had to break away from the group at the gardens to get some food as our 8yo was tired and hungry but we loved our experience overall! I would definitely use this company again.

A great small guided tour to Versailles - Manuel was a great tour guide. He was funny and very knowledgeable. The tour was well organized. We met the coordinator Andre near the train station in Paris. After all tour members arrived, he took us on the RER train to Versailles. He handed us off to Manuel who was with us for close to 2 hours. After he took us out to the gardens we were on our own. We spent another 4 hours walking the grounds. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous guide ! - Emily was a wonderful animated tour guide. The tour was very interesting and she was quite knowledgeable. There were about 14 in the group so not too big which made it a bit more intimate.

It’s easier to go by yourself - Lack of organization arriving at Versailles, we lost one hour just standing there outside. They told us it was regarding a “strike” but everyone else were getting inside, except our group. If I’d gotten there by myself I’m certain I’ve had a better experience, not waiting for so long. The coordinator and guide were nice.
