Very crowded place Excellent tour guide She gave a lot of information and spoke very concisely and made sure the group stayed together
This tour was an excellent way to visit Versailles. We chose the first tour of the day and the meeting place was easy to find, the guide was on time and it was great to skip the line. The guide was very informative and the gardens were amazing.
Francesco did a good job showing us the highlights of the palace. The tour was catered more towards adults so it was a little harder for kids.
Excellent tour with a wonderful, very lively guide who brings the Palace of Versailles to life.
This is a great way to see the highlights of Versailles, and our guide Natalia was great. She did not move too fast or too slow and gave really great explanations for what we were seeing. This tour did not include any guided portion for the gardens, but they are lovely to explore on your own. Versailles was amazing and interesting! No complaints.
Well explained, good history story telling and covered all key points
Elena was great! I loved the history insights she gave us and she was easy to follow and understand.
