4.00Versailles was beautiful. Tour was very good. The only complaint was that the tour guide didn’t always speak into the microphone and was difficult to hear. When we could hear him, he was very informative.

Cozy quarters with tight elevator and bath

4.00Not what we envisioned when booking, but good nonetheless. Nice pastry and yogurt breakfast with a variety of coffees. Comfortable bed but tight room with minimal storage. Our room had a bath with a shower wand, but at 6’1” I could not stand up in it, making it a bit awkward. Very tight room for commode/toilet. Lastly a very small elevator where we needed multiple trips with our luggage. Travelled with 4 adults in two rooms. However, view of. Notre Dane from room and very short distance to it. Location, location, location!

Opulence at its finest

5.00We loved Florence who greeted us at Get Your Guide and took us on a 40-min bus ride to Versailles, a beautiful town. Once at the Palace we met up with another guide, whose name I regretfully have forgotten. She was lovely and extremely informative in our history lesson of the day. Versailles walks you through the opulence of French history from the 16th to 19th century. A very nice day indeed
Disneyland Paris is awful
Shannon B,May 1, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00Disneyland Paris is old, run down, dirty, and crowded. Half the restaurants and attractions were closed on a busy national holiday. The food was awful. I was literally served half a cup of coffee at the bakery. Disney should be embarrassed to be associated with this park. Don’t waste a second of your life or your money on this attraction
A Must See

5.00Absolutely worth the money. Don't even consider doing it on your own. This way we didn't have to worry about parking/public transport. We skipped the queues and our guide knew her history. She was so knowledgeable and shared with us insights into life before the revolution and meanings behind the artwork, fountains, gardens etc. Must be able to walk. Bring hat and water. 5 🌟
Excellent Guide, Excellent Tour

5.00The tour was excellent. Our guide, Murao was exceptional. He presented the information in such an engaging and informative manner which really made the tour both informative and entertaining. Also, the tour of the palace was just long enough, but not too long as to become tedious. We were able to explore the gardens on our own after. It was our favorite tour while in Paris.
