We loved Versailles. It’s a stunning place inside filled with history and the gardens are also gorgeous and worth a visit!
Extensive walking in the garden area, pack or purchase waters to drink. Ruben was very knowledged and mad the experience fun!!
Anne Sophie was fantastic! Incredibly knowledgeable, personable and interesting in the way she shared the history of Versailles at just the right level of detail and pace. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with her!
We showed vouchers and were unable to join the tour at 9:40 this morning. You destroyed our day. I expect a full refund and expenses incurred.
Thank you for your feedback. For clarification, the meeting point and meeting time were indicated on your voucher, and you were not present at the scheduled time. When you arrived after the departure of the initial tour, we nevertheless arranged an alternative guided tour and honored your all-access booking.
Our guide, Anne-Sophie was fantastic! The meeting point is easy to find. The Get Your Guide Office is right across the street from the train station (Versailles Rive Gauche). The office is to the right of McDonalds. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff there as well. Anne-Sophie made French history come alive as she explained different points of interest in each room. She navigated the crowds flawlessly and provided headphones so we could all hear well. She answered all of our questions and even encouraged them. We freely explored the gardens and Trionons after (as we booked the garden ticket that included them). It’s a very vast estate so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. I had about 20,000 steps that day and that’s with using the “petit train”that goes between the palace and the Trionons. Thank you for a great tour, Anne-Sophie!

Excellent overview of Versailles and the expansive/opulent estate. Ruben provided a most informative tour
Great tour. Our guide Mauro was fantastic. I really appreciated the time with him on the Versailles gardens portion of the tour. Don’t see the palace without a guide; Mauro gave the tour meaning and context.
Having a guide explain/describe the construction of Versailles Palace is necessary to appreciate its place in French and world history. We also enjoyed walking the gardens with an experienced guide to explain the design/use by the King Louies. Amazing day!!
This was a very comprehensive tour. So wonderful!! The fact that our tickets came with the tour (gardens and palace) was HUGE and the limited number of tourist (16) was just perfect! Our tour guide, Nathan, was so knowledgeable and could answer any questions I directed his way.
