Great trip around the palace with a knowledgeable tour guide. Loved our guide tiffin who was engaging and informative
It was seamless and very easy to get in the castle with the guide compared to the long line outside. The guide Emilie was very nice and with great knowledge.
I have been to Versailles with self guided tours in the past. I was really nice to have a knowledgeable guided tour which gives you a bit more insight that you may not get with a self guided tour.
Gabriella was fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and had an amazing time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable experience.
Wonderfully informative tour! We really appreciated learning so much in such a short time. Thank you!
It’s a lot of walking but beautiful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made it interesting to learn about the history of the palace.
Great tour given by Aurelia! She was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable about Versailles and made our day very enjoyable. When meeting at the Get Your Guide office, the staff there was very nice and helpful too. Highly recommend this tour.
We should have been given easier meeting place like inside in front of the building B. We got separated from the Guide and he did not keep track of us.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about this experience. For operational reasons, the meeting point is at our office: the area at Gate B is often extremely crowded, which can make it difficult to identify the guide . That said, you should never feel left behind—our guides are expected to regularly check the group and ensure everyone is together before and after entering, we apolagize if that wasn't the case. We will share your comments with our team and reinforce these procedures.
Ruben was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and funny. My partner did not want to have a tour guide and after we were done he was so happy we did it. Lots to learn!
Versailles is incredible and well worth the 30 min drive/train to visit. Our tour guide, Aurelia, was very knowledgeable and nice.
