A Wonderful Versailles Tour - Valerie, our guide was an absolute delight, a wealth of knowledge, and very professional. Her humor combined with her knowledge base made for a wonderful Versailles tour on a very busy Saturday.
I wish all of our Guides were as good as Valerie.

A Tour Must Taken - Beautiful rich place with a lot of history. The tour guide was an excellent storyteller, shared ample of anecdotes, way of life around the palace, and stories behind many objects and paintings. The guide shared his knowledge on the influence of other civilizations on France architecture, paintings, and sculpture. He also stayed with us at the garden after the official end of the tour to direct us to interesting points.

What a great Tour - What a fantastic tour. Our guide was very informative, great humor and really knew the sites really well. I didn't expect the Palace to be as wonderful as it was. We did not get through the entire palace, but it was still enjoyable!

Horrible Guide and Experience - This was a horrible experience. The tour guide had no training, declared he was going on vacation after this tour, ran through the palace and then only handed us a third of our tickets for the garden. Book elsewhere
