5.00Our tour guide Bo was absolutely fantastic! She was very thorough while also keeping the tour moving & navigating the heavy crowds well. It was the perfect tour length before being given the option to continue in the palace or heading out to the garden.
Very knowledgeable guide...

5.00This is not an air conditioned building. But the art work was very interesting. I do recommend if it is a really warm day to rent the golf cart to tour the gardens. There are stunning.
Excellent and perfect fit for first time visitors!

5.00This was the perfect tour option! I explored many and this was just right - not too long, approx 2.5 hours, with access to Petite Trianon and the gardens after tour over to be at our leisure. Anna was lovely and knowledgeable and I can’t recommend this tour enough. We took a taxi from Paris and an Uber back and it worked so we weren’t on a specific timeframe as opposed to planned transportation. Bring good walking shoes, minimal airflow in Versailles dress accordingly.
Excellent Tour - Worth Every Euro

5.00The tour was very organized and well paced. The equipment used by the guide and guests worked perfectly (listening devices). Our tour guide (Andre) was phenomenal. Highly intelligent on the subject matter and truly enjoys this period of history.
