Our tour guide Aurele was amazing. Very good with kids and very knowledgeable. My family loved the tour from start to finish and it remains one of their favorite experiences of the trip. My kids are 4 and 7 and Aurele was wonderful with the kids and keeping them engaged. She was smart, kind, and good with kids.
We truly enjoyed our tour with Nils. He made a great job at providing a great tour while keeping it lighthearted and fun for our two teenagers kids (12yo and 14yo). We definitely walked away feeling we had learned a lot about Versailles and would recommend him and Liv Tours to anybody.
Huge thanks to Viviana for a fantastic day! She’s incredibly kind and truly knows her stuff. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Eva made it so much fun to hear that history of Versailles- love her enthusiasm, knowledge and sense of humor! We had the best morning with her in the palace and gardens.
As part of our visit to Paris we spent an afternoon in Versailles and LivTours made the experience easy and memorable with the private tour of the palace and gardens. This is an extraordinary place and our tour guide, René, brought the history and palace to life giving us a meaningful experience. He also took the lead in taking our family photographs which was appreciated.
Achille was the perfect guide. He was great with our kids and kept them engaged. This was my 3rd visit and I learned many new things about the gardens and palace.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that Achille made your tour enjoyable and engaging for the whole family. It’s great that even on your third visit, you learned new things about the gardens and palace. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
