5.00A magnificent place full of history! The Palace of Versailles is absolutely magnificent, with sumptuous rooms and an impressive Hall of Mirrors. The gardens are huge, perfectly maintained and ideal for a long walk. Each visit is a real immersion in the history of France. To see at least once in his life!
Perfect for a relaxing moment!

5.00Excellent tour and tour guide. Even though the Chateau was closed due to an electrical issue, it was still a great experience.

5.00Had a wonderful experience. Toby, our tall Argentinian guide, regaled us with stories about the Chateau and the gardens. It was thoroughly interactive and we absolutely loved it!
A must book if you are in Paris!

5.00Our tour guide Toby was phenomenal! Super knowledgeable and full of stories; not only for the tour but also about the town and culture! He went our pace, athletic, and it was amazing! He took photos of us, and gave us extra inside knowledge on other things around the area and our future plans!
Not worth it to go on this trip.

3.00The cost is much too high given that you are on your own inside the Palace. After the garden tour we were abandoned and left to find our own way back to the train.
Opulence galore

5.00Versailles is an iconic piece of French history. Andreas was knowledgeable and shared his knowledge in a down to earth, entertaining way. With only 5 in our group, we all had a chance to ask our questions. The property and building are beautiful, but you will walk many miles and be overloaded with the opulence by the time you are finished.
Andrea is AMAZING

5.00Andrea was incredible! He was able to quickly swoop in when there was a mistake in communication with meeting location. He escorted us to the grounds for a private tour of the gardens and palace. His vast knowledge of the grounds is remarkable. He was able to show us the expansive gardens and explain the history of each area down to the statutes found through out. Andrea was shockingly knowledgeable about all of the hidden symbols and their meanings from the fountains to the flowers. Beyond his knowledge of Versailles, Andrea is an amazing person. He is very personable, kind, authentic, gracious and everything a person should be! I highly recommend Andrea and Fat Tire Tours
A beautiful tour with an amazing guide!

5.00Our family had a wonderful walking tour of the gardens of Versailles, made possible by Andrea, our fantastic guide. Andrea was knowledgeable, personable, and a true delight to be with from start to finish, lifting our experience of this beautiful location to another level. After the gardens, he gave us great advice for navigating the interior of the immense palace, making that part of our tour run smoothly as well. We would definitely recommend this tour, and if you can, try to get Andrea as your guide! Andrea - best of luck with your upcoming nuptials!
