Our guide Alex was wonderful! Voila! There was a strike of workers which caused some delays and shortened our tour☹️

We are on the bus returning to Paris. The bus is extremely hot. The driver and tour staff did not respond to our request for air conditioning. One of our friends felt sick from the heat. I thought the buses had ac, that was what was advertised, but we didn’t have air either way. Our guide was good, but he was a full in and had to work with two tours. No one checked us back on to bus. We had to assume it was the correct bus. Very disappointed with this tour company.

The tour operator was not organized. We were told to go to an orange bus, which we didn’t know where it was going. The bus left 20mins late. When we got to our destination, we finally met the tour guide. Who was amazing, however if felt like the tour was rushed as he was trying to make up for the time loss. We took uber back to the city as we did not have enough time to explore. Since we were given the chance to stay behind if we would like to.

Anne was wonderful! This tour was a smooth and enjoyable experience. From the easy meeting pont to the comfortable bus transport and timed entrance to the palace and free time in the garden it is luxuriously simple to follow stress free (would be great for families with children). Anne, my guide, was so well informed and knowledgeable about all things from French history, architecture, culture, war, art you name it she had a great story or fun fact. I did the half day tour and it was perfect time to do the whole palace and see the gardens. If I did it again I would’ve dedicated a whole day to Versailles and either stay in the gardens myself for the afternoon and take the later bus option home or get a garden tour. Don’t underestimate the vastness of the garden property. I got to see the big sites on the garden but would’ve loved to see more and learn more about them. Overall highly recommend for a seamless tour

This is a Day in Paris that you can experience the highlights of this beautiful city. Lots of walking and stairs so be prepared. Our tour guide Julie added so much knowledge, humor, and compassion to our day long trip. We meet some great tourists in our group, this tour is a great way to see some of the best parts of Paris.
