5.00We were fortunate enough to end up with a private tour. Our guide Emma was incredibly knowledgable and friendly, and made sure we had time to enjoy the things that interested us the most. Our driver Christopher was professional, punctual and as we had some spare time before out tour, he gave us a little tour of the town of Versailles, a nice little bonus.
Thoroughly enjoyed our GRANDE tour of Versailles Palace of Louis XIV.

5.00The palace at Versailles is crowded but well worth the visit. I opted for the small group tour, and it was excellent. The driver who picked us up was terrific, and since weekend traffic was light he gave us an introduction to the city of Versailles as well. Our guide, Philippe, was terrific, and very knowledgeable. The small group allowed for easier movement as well. We were fortunate to have perfect weather and greatly enjoyed visiting the gardens.

5.00They did a really great job at confirming pickup details the day before, including the driver name and license plate #. The drive to Versailles was easy, where our driver turned us over to a guide for the tour. The guide was just terrific - very knowledgeable, fun and willing to answer whatever we threw at her. Versailles is huge and amazing and 100% worth the visit. We did the 1/2 day tour and were pleasantly exhausted. I can’t imagine doing another 3 hours on the full day tour. Anyway, pickup was clear and easy, and the whole day was super smooth. This is a really great way to see an amazing landmark!!
This was a great small...

5.00This was a great small group tour. The guide was very knowledgeable both in the history and the details of facility. The gardens were wonderful but only one fountain was operational.
