Loved this. So much fun, loved the history and our tour guide was great. Super great and would totally recommend
We have toured Versaille once before but this tour was so much better and exceeded all our expectations. The tour was perfect for our family that included some who were active and others who were physically challenged. The tour guide also provided a wealth of great history and amazing information that entertained everyone in our group. Was a perfect combination for everyone in our family.
We had an incredible time on this Versailles tour, and a big part of that was our guide, Carolina. She was kind, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of Versailles to life throughout the day. It was an extremely hot day, but Carolina was very intentional about where we stopped, always making sure our group had plenty of shade whenever possible. Her thoughtfulness and care really stood out and made the tour much more enjoyable. She also timed the day perfectly. She got us to the fountains in time to watch them turn on, which was one of the highlights of the visit. When our group split between those who wanted to bike and those who preferred the shuttle (me), she timed the shuttle perfectly so we arrived at the same time as the cyclists without missing a thing. This tour was well organized, informative, and a fantastic way to experience Versailles. I highly recommend it, and if you're lucky enough to have Carolina as your guide, you're in for an amazing experience. Thank you, Carolina, for your kindness and for making our day so memorable!
Amazing experience going with a Toddler. Our guide Annie was absolutely superb. Our whole group was very satisfied with the tour.
This was a wonderful tour and our guide Annie was amazing. The golf carts around the grounds were deff amazing. Spent too much time at petit Trianon and at lunch as well. That was the only wasted part of the tour. Versailles is deff a must visit !
Was a very hot day and the golf cart tour was very pleasant way to see the area.
We had a wonderful day on our tour. Our fabulous guide, Alois, was so informative, had excellent thorough knowledge of French history and made sure all guests were comfortable and enjoyed the day. I recommend taking up the golf cart and bike option as the grounds are so extensive it would be impossible to tackle on foot. Even with this option there is a fair amount of walking, so be prepared - I completed about 25,000 steps - taking into account walking to and from the train station - which is a good 25 minute walk from the palace. Alois took us to two lovely cafes for breaks - these are not cheap but have a nice choice of fresh salads, quiche, baguettes and patisserie. The option to tour the grounds in the morning then go into the palace in the afternoon without the guide worked well as the heat in the afternoon was unbearable. Be prepared as inside the palace it can get extremely busy and crowded - as to be expected in a major tourist attraction.
We normally don't pay for guided tours and this was well worth the money we invested. The Versailles gardens are enormous and we learned so much and saw so many things we wouldn't ever have gotten to on our own- or heard the backstory on. I highly recommend this tour. There's plenty of time to see the palace afterwards. Alois was a great tour guide who kept us on track so we could see as much as possible while learning a lot along the way about French history. I had heard the gardens were large... They were enormous. We have two teenagers who really enjoyed the entire day as well.
We went on a rainy day and it was also windy. Using the golf carts to get around is the way to go whether the weather is good or perfect or bad. The roads can be uneven so traveling in a cart is much easier on the body.
The tour itself was enjoyable, and our guide was both knowledgeable and accommodating. However, I had expected a more leisurely experience, thinking it would be easier on my husband due to the minimal walking required. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, and we ended up walking over 10,000 steps, which was quite challenging for someone with certain health conditions.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated your guide’s knowledge and flexibility. We would like to clarify that certain areas of the 2000 acres Royal Domain, such as the Bosquets and Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet, are only accessible on foot, as golf carts are not permitted in these protected areas. However, these walking portions are absolutely not mandatory. Guests with mobility concerns are always welcome to remain in the golf cart or relax at the terrace of a nearby café while the rest of the group visits these areas. Our guides are always happy to adapt the experience whenever possible to ensure everyone enjoys their time at Versailles comfortably. Thank you again for visiting Versailles with us, and we truly appreciate your comments.
