Fantastic Versailles Palace tour - We had Omar as our tour guide, and he was fantastic. His English was perfect, and the information he shared was knowledgeable but also delivered in an interesting and fun way. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!

Worth the visit! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She made the tour fun. There were 9 in our group which was very comfortable. However, there were many people so be prepared for crowds. Still it was a wonderful tour.

In-depth knowledgeable tour of the palace of Versailles - Wonderful tour with behind the scene knowledge and stories about the royals of Versailles. With limited time the guide highlighted the important not to be missed areas of interest in the palace.

It was informative - I enjoyed hearing more about the history of the French Royalty my knowledge of Napoleon was limited mostly to his exile but he did modernize government.

Without a guided tour - We did not see the royal chapel and the coronation hall. It is much better to visit the castle without a guided tour. With the tour, you do not get to see any additional rooms, and you can explore the spaces at your own pace. Additionally, there are audio guides available in 13 languages downstairs.

Unengaging and unimpressive - Our tour guide had very little personality. Not engaging at all. We have taken many tours and many through Viator, so far, they have all been above average to exceptional. She was robotic, spent more time telling us dates instead of the story behind what we were viewing. There were 21 of us in the group, I looked around the room and many of the guests were uninterested and wandering instead of listening. Honestly, we were so surprised at how much of a poor experience it was. Additionally the ear pods we were wearing were all buzzing and made it impossible to listen to her.

Pathetic - Ripped off! No one met us for our tour. And no help from your company. Refused a refund of any sort. Inexcusable. Will never use them again.
