Dany knows her stuff!
Dany was punctual, informative and gave great little insights. She looked after us, even though it was a busy day and it was crowded. I was impressed with how she knew her way around the grounds, especially the bosques. Highly recommend her! If we come back, I want to do a longer tour with her. She kept my girls engaged as well.
Operator response

Her knowledge, passion, and ability to adapt to busy conditions while ensuring every guest has a memorable experience are qualities we greatly value. We're especially pleased that she was able to keep your girls engaged and help you discover some of the hidden gems of the bosques.
We will be sure to share your wonderful feedback with her. Dany will be thrilled to know she made such a positive impression.
We look forward to welcoming you back for a longer tour in the future!

Irene is the best guide...
Irene is the best guide we have had on our Paris trip! She has so much knowledge of Versailles and her stories were totally engaging. We travelled with our two 13 year old granddaughters and she had them enthralled the entire tour. Our visit to Versailles was top notch entirely thanks to Irene!!

Great day for family a the Versailles!
Erwin was a great tour guide for the kids. He had them sitting most of the time and looking up and around the rooms- it was perfect. He also had really great ways of explaining things so the kids would understand. My only reason for 4 stars is I thought it was a little expensive for 2 hrs.m

Excellent guide = excellent experience
Our guide Faubion was excellent and added so much to our visit! He adeptly navigated the crowds and always found a way to position us with great views of the highlights.
He was so knowledgeable and brought along additional materials to build context to the details.
He kept my children engaged throughout and was genuinely a pleasure.
Faubion made Versailles and French history much more tangible for our family. Highly recommend.
