Arelia was a wonderful guide. It was lovely to be in a small group and going on an early tour meant that it wasn't too busy. Thanks

So glad we booked this tour! Jimmy, our first guide led us from the meeting point all the way to the front of Versailles. We then switched to our tour guide, Julie who shared the history and facts about Versailles. I cannot imagine visiting Versailles without getting all this information. It truly gave us a greater appreciation for the deep history of the location. The gardens are so beautiful. Even though it was a half day tour you can 100% spend an entire day there.
