Wonderful Day in Versailles Palace & Giverny

Ramona was an incredible guide and expert knowledge! She was wonderfully nice and by the end of the tour we all felt as if we were friends. Her knowledge of Versailles & Giverny was exceptional, and we loved all the information she gave us. We were incredibly impressed at her knowledge of the artwork in the Versailles Place. Further she expertly pointed us in the right direction for lunch and was very flexible throughout the tour. We would be extremely happy to tour with her again.

Worth the extra cost

Really special experience with access to certain areas of Versailles (Kings Private Quarters) that would not be accessible on the regular tour. A really knowledgeable guide with a depth of knowledge that brought history to life.

Fun at Versailles!

This was a great tour! We got exclusive access to the King's apartment, plus toured the entire palace in this semi-private tour. Vivianne was a warm and knowledgable guide. She made the tour a lot of fun, and we learned a lot! She is a great person to share this experience with. We were able to wander the palace and gardens on our own after Vivianne's tour. We would gladly take another Liv Tour, especially with Vivianne, when we return to Paris.

Quick, private Versailles tour was the way to go!

Vivienne did an amazing job of showing us around Versailles, and reading the body language of my 13-year-old boys who weren't interested in too much detail about the art:) They loved seeing the gardens and fountains! I'm happy we did this as a private tour. It was fairly crowded, and some of the spaces were too tight to easily move through with a larger group. I'd give Versailles 3.5 stars, but I'd rate Vivienne as 5 stars.
