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.

Perfect day at Versailles - Wonderful and informative tour. Loved it! Our guide Frederic was very knowledgeable and described the rooms in detail according to the history of the palace and life at Court. The gardens were so beautiful and I highly recommend renting a golf cart to tour it.

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.

Don’t buy from this company! - Never had a chance to meet our guide. Not clear instructions where to meet the guide. Provided address led us to a private residence :-( Nobody even called us when we didn’t arrive on time to meet the guide. We called ourself, but company rep didn’t know how to help, only offered another day to visit Versalle. We couldn’t go because of departure to our home country on that day. We had to buy again tickets to visit Versalle that day. Now this company refuse to give us refund. Looking like we going to dispute this charge with our credit card company. Don’t recommend this tour guide!
