Clara was very knowledgeable! She first explained how the tour would be conducted, and that she was willing to make adjustments to accommodate our needs. The price of the tour included tickets to enter, and the ability to SKIP THE LONG LINE!!! She then handed out headsets so we could easily hear her. Once in, she guided us around the crowds to spots where we could stop and listen to her explanation of the subject matter. Her communication style kept it amusing and entertaining. I highly recommend this tour, and Clara as your guide.
It sounds like Clara made navigating busy Versailles feel effortless — exactly what you want when there’s so much to see! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed her mix of knowledge, humor, and flexibility throughout the experience. Thank you for choosing our Versailles Palace and Gardens Walking Tour and for giving Clara such a wonderful recommendation. We’ll make sure she sees your kind words! ✨

The guide was thorough with the history associated with the palace, gave us a very good insight into the history. I would definitely recommend the tour !
I came across Boutique Tours on Youtube. Loved their Versaille Video so much i booked their Tour. Our Guide Nafiseh got us right thru the lines and seemed to know most of the Versaille Staff (a plus). This is one of the best small Guided Tours i have taken. Our Guide was super knowledgeable and answered every question we had. She made History come to life with her enthusiasm of the subject. Oh and she is a great photographer! We have friends visiting in February and will highly recommend they take your tours!
Thank you so much, Jerry! We’re really glad you found us through YouTube and that the tour with Nafiseh lived up to the video. It’s wonderful to hear how her knowledge, energy, and even her photo skills helped bring Versailles to life for you. We truly appreciate you recommending us to your friends in February – we’ll be ready to take great care of them too! 🙌🚴♂️🏰
