This was a great tour. If you are interested in seeing the highlights from Versailles and the Louvre in the same day, this is the tour for you. The semi-private tour allows you access to the guide for all your questions while being unburdened by a large group. Our Versailles guide, Vivianne, was awesome. The tour starts when they open at 9 am with a tour of the private apartment at Versailles, not open to the public. We were the only people in there. It was incredible to get this access. Afterwards, she took us to the state apartment and gardens. We hit all the highlights without feeling rushed. Vivianne coordinated the driver to take us back to Paris and didn't leave until we were safely on. The drive back to Paris was comfortable in a van with water and charging cables! We were dropped off across the street from the Louvre and our driver gave us nearby restaurant suggestions for our 2 hour lunch break. After lunch, we met our Louvre guide who was incredible. She was friendly, knowledgable, well paced, and was able to show us the highlights. We had some time remaining, and she took us to the Egypt exhibit (which we wanted to see!). This is an excellent way to see both Versailles and the Louvre in the same day. All you need to worry about is getting to Versailles (our hotel arranged a taxi) and getting back to your hotel (we got an Uber which was also super easy).
