Highly recommended - This was such a seemless tour which we absolutely loved. Thank you to our wonderful tour guide Laura for sharing her passion and knowledge. This tour was amazing because of the information she provided and the passion she shared with us. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to get the most out of their visit to Versailles.

Perfect Option for Versailles from Paris! - Outstanding tour! Admittedly we had doubts about doing a ‘large group’ to Versailles but didn’t want the hassles of getting there on our own, nor the high cost of a private excursion. This tour was the perfect answer! Great first impression upon arrival at the tour office, well-organized, friendly and on-time. Boarded the bus and our host told us exactly what to expect upon arrival. Once there, our large group was divided into 3 relatively small groups (12-15 people each). Not sure if we just got lucky but our guide LAURA was OUTSTANDING! We travel often (4+ international trips per year) and guides of Laura’s calibre are rare - she is truly passionate about her work! A wonderful experience, enhanced by her knowledgeable and humorous narrative. We had a couple of hours of free time after the guided tour - we opted to indulge our chocolate cravings at Angelina restaurant (superb!) then had time for a quick walk through the gardens before boarding the bus - which was right on time and again well-organized. Book this tour if you have just one day to see Versailles from Paris. Five stars and two thumbs up!

Recommended - Gabrielle, the guide we got at Versaille when we arrived, was excellent. She had a lot of anecdotes to bring the tour of the palace rooms alive. We enjoyed it.

Totally Worth It - Having the guide on this trip is 100% worth it. There is so much that would have been missed if we had just tried to walk through the palace ourselves. I highly recommend this excursion.

A great experience - The palace was immaculate. Our tour guide, Gabriella, was wonderful. I learned a lot about the history and the royal families. The only downsize, in my humble opinion, is that the tour does not continue into the gardens.

Beautiful trip but slightly disorganized - Vladina was an excellent guide in Versailles. The issues I had with this one were that we started late and had to walk about 15 minutes to the bus, which took away from already limited time in Versailles. I'd suggest that if you really want to see the palace, museum, and garden, the select a longer tour because the 3 hours or so that we had wasn't enough time.

Almost great - The tour is well organized and our guides were great, very nice and helpful. The rooms in the palace are beautiful and also the gardens very nice. The negative point I found was the Get your guide reception, where when we arrived we found a attendant who treated us with grossness. Also in this place, an office where we should wait for the arrival of the guide, we are received with plaques that there are no bathrooms/restrooms, an attitude that I also found gross and unnecessary, indicating that it is an unpleasure for the company to answer a simple question that the tourist comes to ask. There is also no water and there are few places for guests to sit and wait for the tour.

More focus needed on unique characteristics - Stories should focus more or architecture or unique characteristics of spaces rather than personal stories.personal stories became too repetitive some times
