Fabulous tour
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our guide, Ahmed, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. There were only two couples on the tour, which made it very special and it was lovely to see the King’s private apartment. We would recommend this tour.

The guide makes all the difference! Nancy was terrific; her British accent was clear and utterly delightful. The tour went just a little long, and you must be able to walk and stand for a long period of time, but our guide was funny and so informed (her French history major).

Versailles is worth a guided tour. The tour was amazing and highly recommend. There is one tour guide that gets you to Versailles and then the group is handed off to a guide who specializes in Versailles. I truly cannot imagine visiting Versailles without a guided tour. Even in early May, the crowds were huge!
Tip: there are a couple of tours that meet up at the same cafe area, so make sure you watch carefully to get the right group.

Versaille is a must-see. One of the best tours ever and so worth the price. We found our meeting spot easily and were taken from Paris to Versaille by Andre. Easy and quick. Once there we were met by Amed who was knowledgeable and easy to understand. He really shared stories that you can't get on a self-guided tour. Don't skip the grounds - - there is so much to see.

5 star Versailles Tour. We enjoyed our tour of Versailles and the grounds with Walks. The meeting point directions were easy and the company was good with communication about changes. Our tour guide, Celine, was so knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. We had to break away from the group at the gardens to get some food as our 8yo was tired and hungry but we loved our experience overall! I would definitely use this company again.
