  • Wonderful Tour Company!

    This was a great experience! This tour company is very well organized. I would absolutely book them again. This was the perfect way to see Versailles. The itinerary on Viator is accurate. You meet at the meeting point to redeem your voucher. The company is very careful to take attendance at each point along the way (in the morning and again before departure) so that no one gets left behind. There is an air conditioned bus which takes you to Versailles. You then enter the palace and take the guided tour. We had booked the half day tour with garden access. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the palace. He was a historian and gave us a lot of insights into the palace and its past occupants. The guided tour was about an hour and a half. You will receive a headset so you can hear the guide. There is a bit of stairs, and walking, and standing on this tour, so if you or someone in your party has mobility issues, be aware of that, or contact the tour company in advance to inquire about accessibility. We then had free time on our own to grab lunch and explore the garden area. Out of all of the tours companies we booked for our few days in France, this company was the best by far!

    Barbara was an exceptional guide - both knowledgeable and funny. The half day tour does not leave much time for self-guided exploration, so consider the full day for more time in the gardens. Comfortable, professional, highly recommend!
