Versailles heldagstur med boet efter Marie-Antoinette

Thank you, Karen! Berek clearly set a great tone with the train, and Ivan's tour of the palace and gardens sounds like it kept that energy going throughout. Adding the Estate of Marie-Antoinette really does round out the day, the Hamlet and the Petit Trianon are such a different, quieter side of Versailles that so few visitors ever get to see, so it's wonderful you made the most of the full day. We'll make sure they both see this!

Thank you, Lawrence! We're so glad Berek got things off to such a smooth start, and that Claire's warmth turned your group into what sounds like real friends by the end, that's the kind of connection that comes from spending a full day somewhere as rich as Versailles together. We love spending a day there, and it makes us very happy to read this, as it will Claire and Berek. Those little surprises in the garden are exactly why we always recommend exploring the full estate, there's always something waiting to be discovered beyond the obvious highlights. We'll be sure they both see your kind words!

Thank you for sharing this, and we're genuinely sorry about the cancellation of the Petit Trianon portion, and that it left you working out the rest of the day with less guidance than you should have had. Stan is always there to help with exactly this kind of question, whether it's the golf carts (which do require ID to rent), the paid shuttles, or simply the best way to reach the far side of the estate on foot, so please do always feel free to ask, he's genuinely happy to help even beyond the guided portion of the day. We're so glad his knowledge and the smaller group of nine made the guided part of your visit feel so personal and easy to follow. We're taking this as a good prompt to put together clearer guidance for anyone affected by a cancellation like this in future.

Thank you Dawn! Bringing the palace and its inhabitants to life is exactly what a great guide does — and Claire does it beautifully. The stories of Versailles are so rich and extraordinary and we love that they came through so vividly for you. She'll be so pleased to hear this!

Thank you Catherine! A full day at Versailles really is the way to experience it properly — the palace, the gardens and the Estate of Marie-Antoinette each deserve the time, and together they tell such an extraordinary story. We're so glad your guide brought all of that to life so clearly for the group. Hope you had a wonderful time here in Paris!

Thank you Justin! Sarah really is exceptional and we're so glad she made the day so special. Our fantastic team of coordinators escorts all guests to Versailles to meet their guide — once with Sarah and your group, we love that the experience completely took over! The Estate of Marie-Antoinette is somewhere we are truly passionate about sharing — so few tours venture there and it really is magical. We couldn't agree more that the full day is the way to do it. We'll make sure Sarah sees your kind words — and we really appreciate the recommendation!

Thank you for this wonderful review! A full day at Versailles covering the Palace, the Gardens and the Estate of Marie-Antoinette is such a special experience and we're so glad everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Ivan is a fantastic guide and it sounds like he was exactly what you needed — knowledgeable, great fun and brilliant at navigating a busy day. Versailles in peak season is quite something, and making sure everyone sees as much as possible is something we take real pride in. We'll make sure Ivan sees your kind words. Hope you had a wonderful time here in Paris!

A kindred spirit, I see! Versailles, as well you have experienced, was indeed conceived and carried out to overwhelm and still does a bang up job of that nearly fourhundred years later. That's where we come in, to give context and perspective on all that bling and beauty. It is a treat to do so, with humor to spice up our love for the place. We love to laugh as well as to learn - preferably at the same time. Thanks so much for this lovely review that makes our day!

Hello Stephen, there's nothing we love more than leading you through the full spectrum of Versailles, from the grandiose bling of the palace proper, that brings home why the queen simply needed an escape, and what it says about her and about history when you see what she did build for herself. We breathe life back into the palace heyday, all while keeping an eye to the present, making it all make sense to a modern eye. We had so much fun doing that for you and will hope our paths cross again!

Hi Elizabeth! Memories tours specialize in time travel through the art of storytelling you back into history. Sara is a star at it, as you saw, as well as wrapping all that expertise in with a human touch that cares about your experience. A resounding yes to the the walking and a recommendation to others for solid footwear. We so appreciate your high praise and will transmit to Sara!
