5.00I 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

4.00The 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.
An amazing day at...
