A good tour

5.00Not quite clear where to meet up initially but all was smooth after that. The transport was well organised and as strangers to the city it was well appreciated.
Definitely a must-do tour!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, John, managed the group efficiently while sharing rich historical details. The transport from Paris was seamless, and access to both the palace and gardens was well-coordinated. It was informative without being overwhelming.
Excellent tour of palace of Versailles by Julian

5.00Jillian was our tour guide and he did an excellent job. His wealth of knowledge on all things French history was truly impressive. He answered all our questions thoroughly and did not rush us through the palace. He also gave a great dinner recommendation for us. I would highly recommend Julian to any of our family and friends.
The Most Stress-Free Way to See Versailles

5.00Booking this directly from the city made our trip out to the palace completely stress-free. Jean-Luc was entertaining and kept us on track through the King’s Apartments and the sprawling grounds. The seamless transport and excellent historical context provided throughout the day made it worth every penny.
