Ahmed was truly an exceptional tour guide who shared intriguing historical facts about Versailles in a well-constructed story perfectly timed to the Royal rooms as we moved through them. He was truly able to humanize the three Louis and their families. A very nice person, as well! Highly recommend!

Excellent experience. Easy to find our way to Versailles as we were going there with a group and our accompanying hostess was very informative and friendly. The different guide we had for our tour through the Palace was super. Very knowledgable, great insight. Small group helped to make question- asking easy and made for a very interesting experience. Only wish would have been a tour of the gardens and Trianon venues as well. Mind you, 4 hours on our feet in the heat and crowds wore us out!

Great tour and guide!
Weather worked out well, was not too hot and the rain held off so we were able to walk the grounds.
