Fantastic private tour!

This private tour of the Palace of Versailles was one of the highlights of our trip to France. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of Versailles. He picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel, which saved the worry of a traffic delay and meeting at the appropriate time! Having a private guide made the experience so much more enjoyable because we could move at our own pace, ask questions, and focus on the areas that interested us most. The palace itself is breathtaking, especially the Hall of Mirrors, the King’s and Queen’s Apartments, and the beautiful gardens. Our guide brought the history of Louis XIV, Marie Antoinette, and the French monarchy to life with fascinating stories and details that we never would have learned on our own. The skip-the-line access was a huge benefit, saving us valuable time during a very busy season. The tour was well organized, and every detail was handled professionally. If you’re visiting Paris and want to truly appreciate Versailles rather than just walk through it, I highly recommend this private tour. It was worth every penny and made our visit memorable, informative, and stress-free.

Perfect private tour of Versailles

Rozenn is a very knowledgeable guide and skilled driver. She was able to make the private tour of Versailles exactly what we wanted and on our timeline. If you prefer a quick-moving tour like my family does, Rozenn is able to make that happen

Great Versailles experience!

Kevin is very calm, personable, knowledgeable, and also a great driver. He truly knows the ins and outs of Versailles. He knows the best parking location, best photo spots, best shortcuts, and best secret restrooms throughout, and is very funny and personable while also being completely well-versed in the history of Versailles. He also came prepared with a microphone and earpieces so we could hear him more clearly over the wind and the sea of people.

Exceptional guide and tour of the Palace of Versailles

We had the pleasure of having Chris as our driver and guide. He picked us up at our Vrbo apartment in Central Paris and then off to Versailles. The traffic was incredibly light on the way and he commented on that would likely not be the case on our return. We had an incredible tour and his knowledge, sense of humor, perfect English and open to any and all questions about the property were very impressive. The Paris 10k was happening that day and took nearly 2 hours to return to our apartment. He was incredibly professional and patient with the traffic and GPS that kept us getting us stuck in several location. If I were to do the tour again I would hope we would be lucky enough to have Chris as our guide again. Thank you!

Kevin was a great tour...

Kevin was a great tour guide. He expertly navigated the Paris traffic and was able to park very close to the Versailles entrance. Once inside, he was very knowledgeable and guided us through the crowds.

Perfect afternoon with fabulous guide!

My niece’s top request was to see for Versailles. We were on a short time frame so we chose this tour. Our guide, Julian, was very informative from the start sharing the history of Paris on our drive to Versailles. He was very knowledgeable and guided us through the crowds easily. He always offered to stop and take pictures along the way. We would definitely recommend this tour and Julian!

The perfect way to see a historical palace and understand the lifestyle

This is the only way to see Versailles as it was crowded but our guide got us quickly thru the crowds and gave us a fantastic history tour.
