    This is a good introduction to Versailles. It is not very long. We drove to Versailles on minibus, with our guide, only 8 passengers. It took about 30/40 mins to get to parking area, not too far from entrance. After priority group entry and security check, about 1 hour from departure. We spent about 1 hour inside with our guide who was informative. The headset was useful. Palace is beautiful. Afterwards about 1 hour in garden, own time.

    We were with a small group of only 8 which was nice. Michelle was our very knowledgeable guide. She was a fount of information, has been doing this for 30 years. Would recommend her highly. Versailles was amazing. It is huge and of course you only see a small portion. The gardens were impressive and would have loved to have been there for the light show.

    This was a wonderful way to visit Versailles and so glad we booked this tour - well worth it. The tour van was very comfortable and the group size was perfect with about 15 people. Everyone was very nice and pleasant. Our tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, able to answer any questions, had a nice sense of humor and shared interesting anecdotes about the palace, people and art. He was also very patient and kind with an elderly family member, while still keeping the group moving. We had a rainy cold day, so we didn't explore the gardens too long, but after the chateau tour, you are free to explore on your own for about an hour. On the way out of the chateau, throngs of people were lined up - we couldn't believe the lines. We felt so fortunate that we were able to arrive at the palace, walk right in and pretty much have the whole place to ourselves. Our tickets to the gardens were also included, so we walked right into the gardens while lines were starting to form. On the way back to Paris, someone on our tour asked about the tunnel where Princess Diana died as they wanted to pay homage, and our tour guide was kind enough to point out and provide walking directions once we arrived back in Paris. Loved this tour and it made our experience all the richer.

    The ride was comfortable and van air conditioned. Our guide was knowledgeable and provided excellent commentary. The day we arrived was a bit rainy and the venue was very crowded. Clearly a must tourist spot

    Our tour Guide, Isabelle, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and answered any questions we may have had. She was also easy to understand. The drive out to Versailles took about half an hour and she was also a very safe driver.

    I had a wonderful experience on the tour which both of the tour guides were very nice and did a wonderful job with us which was a small group four. I had fun and think that all of us did have a great time. Much appreciated the experience! Thanks a billion times

  • Great Tour company but the Palace and grounds needs maintenance

    The tour with this company was very well done. Efficient and comfortable transportation to and back from Versailles. Honore, our guide, was very knowledgeable and quite funny. The only disappointment was the Palace and grounds in August. My wife, who toured Versailles in April 37 years before, agreed with me that the grounds were not kept as well as then and the estate buildings were going under some renovations but needed some more. It seems best to go on this tour during the spring or fall instead of summer or winter.
