A long but highly recommended tour. - Our guide Emily was brilliant. A must-have for anyone who wants to see not only the castle but also the Gerten. Our guide Emily was brilliant. A must-have for anyone who wants to see not only the castle but also the Gerten.

There was a wonderful tour - We enjoyed the palace – there's so much history to see! But it's really the tour guide who makes or breaks the trip. Emily was our guide, and she was EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE about everything we saw. We're really glad she was our tour guide and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this trip.

It was a wonderful trip - The tour was comprehensive, interesting, varied, and highly enjoyable. Helen was an excellent guide – very pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, and personable. Although it was a long day, we are very glad we chose a tour that included the gardens and Marie Antoinette's palace, as it encouraged us to see so much more. The train ride back was the perfect way to end the day. We brought our own lunch, so we didn't have to deal with the queues and could rest up for the afternoon portion.

Замечательная поездка - Our guide VALENTIN was INCREDIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE. He made the information easy to digest, which was great for us since we're not experts on French history. The trip was long and exhausting, so it's essential to WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES AND CLOTHES. Despite that, it was absolutely worth it, and I’d do it all over again. Versailles and its gardens are STUNNING, but they're so MASSIVE that it's impossible to see everything in a 7-hour tour.

Great Tour to Normandy - This was a fantastic trip. We began in Honfleur, enjoying the beautiful port, then admired Monet’s paintings along the stunning coastline of Etretat. Our journey concluded in Rouen, where we explored the magnificent cathedral and delved into the history of Joan of Arc along the charming streets. Nataly was an incredible guide, rich in knowledge about French culture and history. The car was comfortable and the driver was delightful. These cherished memories will last a lifetime.

Great Experience! - The tour was a great experience. We got to see a lot and had an experienced tour guide- Elena. She made the experience phenomenal. Memories we will have forever. I recommend getting a guide as it is a lot information and places to see- and you can ask questions. Our daughter even talked about her new friend (Elena) when talking about our recent Paris trip and our adventures. Thank you again!

We felt ourselves the kings of France - Our Versailles half-day tour was epic! Our guide, Elena, knew everything about Versailles – it was like she made us feeling like kings, live through their lives. And Magomed, our driver, was a legend, keeping us comfy and cracking jokes along the way.

Half day that turned out to be full day - It was so interesting to listen to Elena and all her stories about Versailles, the private life of the kings, visit all the hidden corners. And the territory is huge. Luckily for us both Elena, the driver and the Manager of the company agreed to extend our visit. The best service ever! Thank you guys

Very royal visit - My husband and I decided to take this tour last fall. It was raining a bit, but thanks to the guide we managed to spend our time in the most efficient way. The Trianons are beautiful we didn’t know they exist even, it was a great discovery.
