5.00My wife and I arranged a private Versailles tour with Ricardo in August. He was invaluable in providing background information on the palace’s important sites prior to our arrival, and then steering us to them while further explaining their significance, etc. Had we visited without his guidance, our visit would have paled in comparison. Ricardo made our trip wildly successful.
Great experience!

5.00Excellent half day tour. Dario the guide and chauffeur was brilliant. Kind and considerate. We saw the palace and then drove around the garden in a club car which was great since mobility is limited. Perfect weather made the experience unforgettable.
Avoid this tour company with overworked drivers

1.00Avoid this tour. Our driver seemed overworked and tired. I call him our driver and not our tour guide because he shared little knowledge of the history and culture of Versailles. Apparently he had tours the days before and that same morning. On our 40 minute ride to Versailles, very little was said. When questions were asked, very short answers were provided. Bare minimal background was given before or after tour. During the tour, we rushed from room to room with short explanations. The water fountains show was also a big disappointment. It was just was water spouting from the fountain. We sat for fifteen minutes for the fountain show and left for the ride home. The one star is for the seamless pickup and drop off. We felt we did not get what we paid for since we spent $1200+ for 4 hours with a historian that was advertised to be have special knowledge of Versailles.

5.00Tour and experience was as described. Our tour guide, Honoree, was excellent - informative, fun, entertaining and kept our kids involved. For our family of 5 (three teenagers) it was the perfect amount of time and the perfect tour for us. Highly recommend.

5.00Our driver/ guide, Nicholas, was excellent. He was right on time to pick us up. There were 4 of us on the tour with a comfortable van. He had a great speaker system in the van so everyone could hear. Nicholas started telling us all about the Paris sights on the way out of Paris. Then at Versailles we had head sets to hear all the information he told us through the Palace. He was a wealth of historian information. Nicholas was a wonderful guide/ driver. We would highly recommend this tour with Nicholas.
Fantastic tour!
