Magnificent palace and even more spectacular gardens - The quality of our guide Vladina made the day a memorable experience. She brought passion and energy for almost 8 hours. It's true that the Palace is magnificent....a display of obscene opulence but the gardens, water fountains, statues, and Marie Antoinette estate are even more amazing.

Top tier tour. - We LOVED our visit. It was a full day of informative fun. We feasted our eyes on the immensely beautiful and historic location. Gabriella was truly BRILLIANT. She made the tour. So friendly, well-informed and engaging. It was a pleasure to visit with her and even the dreary weather couldn't dampen our spirits and Versailles, the gardens, Trianons and gorgeous hamlet came to life. There is so much to experience. Bring your cameras / mobiles and your walking shoes, you'll love it. There's a break for lunch / to wander round by yourself a bit and there's time to pop into the town of Versailles afterwards, should you wish to. Thanks, Gabriella, you're a legend!

Worth it - Vladina was an AMAZING tour guide - lots of walking (around 12K steps) but it was very pleasant and flat most of the time. Her stories and explanations made the tour way more worthwhile than randomly walking around aimlessly.

Incredible place, great guide. - Wonderful full day tour of The Palace at Versailles with a marvelous guide. The palace is a place that cannot be adequately described with words or captured in photographs. Every part of the tour explores the grandeur of the palace, the gardens and grounds, and the opulence of the Bourbon Dynasty. Well worth the effort and price. And the group was lucky to have Anna Sophia as our excellent guide. She was entertaining, engaging, and knowledgeable. The amazing experience of the adventure was enhanced by our top notch guide, Anna Sophia's narration and answers all of the questions of the group throughout the day.

Incredible experience with a great guide! - Our guide, Anne-Sophie, was an ABSOLUTE star!!! She was incredible friendly, patient, kind, and funny! She was so thoughtful that she even worked out the logistics to make sure we don’t have to walk from the Petite Trianon back to the front gate for exiting. Beautiful palace and great experience! As people would say, Anne Sophie was ‘Mothering’ the entire tour.
