Versailles with Kids 10 and 7 - This is an absolutely fantastic tour! Claire kept my kids engaged and this ended up being their favorite thing in Paris. The golf cart tour allowed us to see the expansive gardens with ease. While the palace itself was crowded, Claire kept everyone together and found space so we could see and hear the history. 5 stars and 100% recommend!

Marvelous afternoon in Versailles - The private golf cart tour with Claire was amazing. Claire is a British-born art historian who is passionate about France and her knowledge was excellent. She made the tour fun and informative. We were two older women and she was aware of our needs and paced things accordingly. Highly recommend this tour and Claire!

Giovanna's Versailles is a Tour de Force! - Giovanna provided our private tour of Versailles which included a tour by golf cart of the gardens. This was a highlight of our trip. Giovanna's wealth of knowledge and many interesting details of the Royals (especially Louis XIV) put the construction of the palace and the grounds into historical context. It's a stunning a place to visit, and Giovanna's knowledge made it more memorable.

Great tour, made all the better by a great tour guide. Thank you Lili - My wife and I had a wonderful time visiting Versailles in the fall. We met Lili, our tour guide, in front of the palace. We were right on time; she was a little early. Meeting her right away was very comforting, as this was our first tour in France. Lili was very professional yet provided the right amount of personal touches that made us feel like the private tour was the right choice. During the tour, Lili provided a wealth of historical information that really tied the pieces of the tour together. We will return to Paris and Versailles in late spring, booking another tour with LivTours, and hopefully, we will see Lili again.

So crowded but guide great - Our tour guide was fantastic and fun! The golf part portion of the tour enabled us to see some beautiful fountains in the garden quickly. The challenge of our tour was that we attended the day after Christmas and the crowds made it difficult to get in a timely manner, navigate, and engage with our guide - so just something for others to think about during the holidays.
