This tour was a great way to see Versailles quickly. They picked us up at the hotel and got us out there quickly for a half-day tour. Most importantly our tour, Miriam, was excellent when we got to the palace. She was very thorough and navigated the crowds well.

Sophie was fantastic. We were all surprised it was only her second time to do the tour. She was very knowledgeable!

All good. 6 hours was good. Do full day if you don’t want to rush through the gardens. Guide was good.

Miriam was a super thorough and friendly guide, guiding through the heart of the chateau on a very busy weekend. She answered all the random questions we had as well. It's so much to take in and she helped make the most of it. Highly recommend!

Our guide clearly explained the Louis' and helped me better understand their historical significance. Her comments on Marie Anointte were also illuminating.
Our guide should either wear a piece of bright clothing or carry a flag so that she might be more easily found in the crowds.
Our guide was thoughtful, informative, and personable.

Guide was great. Very knowledgeable. Incredibly crowded for March making it hard to really look at things closely. Gardens amazing.

We did the half day with hotel pick up. This was a wonderful tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we saw everything we wanted to see. While the gardens were not in bloom yet, we rented a golf cart to see much of them and they were beautiful as were the fountains. We saw a lot of Versailles in a short amount of time and it worked out for us!

Laura was the most personable guide I have ever met! She was on time, entertaining, and knew a great deal of interesting facts about the Kings & Queens who lived in Versailles. It was obvious she loves what she does!

Loved our guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. Note that the driver is not your guide and the small group in the car was joined by a much larger group
