Great way to see all of Versailles - There’s so many Versailles tours available but I have no regrets choosing this one. It’s a long day but you get to explore all of the main palace plus the gardens, trianons and Hamlets. Be prepared for plenty of walking and sore feet by the end - but it is very worth it. Isabelle was a wonderful guide, as were the delightful group of American ladies in my small group. Dress for the elements - it’s stifling inside the palace, but was cool and rainy in the garden

Wow - It was very hot..just get that out of the way....wear the most comfortable shoes you have! This really is the best way to see Versaille if you haven't been before and want to see as much as possible. Go on a day when the fountains are on...absolutely spectacular. Our guide was brilliant. Sorry don't have her name to hand. A mixture of history with abit of what we thought we already knew!!!! She was great. Book this tour. Easy to find when you get off the train. Not rushed. Brilliant day.

Wonderful experience of the Palace of Versailles - From the moment we entered the GetYourGuide office, we were well taken care of. We were assigned to Isabelle who was very knowledgeable. We got the full tour of the palace, the garden and the Petit Trianon. It was a beautiful day and we gained a lot of knowledge of the period and the kings and queens. Well worth it.
