Disappointing tour. Paid $US300 per person for the same tour that the average ticket purchaser gets. Yes you do get the golf cart included but we had to wait a relatively long time for the cart to then be told that we only had about 1 hour in the garden so we could not visit the Trianon and the Petit Trianon - you’re way better just renting your own golf cart (which btw comes w audio overheads info) and then cruising at your liberty and see the real Interesting parts of the garden and extended grounds. Inside is a similar story, there’s no « earphones » provided with this tour (our guide was kind enough to use equipment provided by other tour companies) and you only get access to the rooms that the average ticket holder have access to. And on top of all that, transport from and back to Paris is not included, so expect to spend at least another $150 on Uber or taxi. Highly disappointing
Lily was the best Versailles guide!

We absolutely adored our Versailles tour guide, Lily. She is the perfect Versailles tour guide :) First off, she’s a very lovely and charming woman. She is an amazing story teller, very engaging with children. She accommodating and efficient. She’s very funny! She takes wonderful pictures for you, and gives you 5 star treatment. She also explains history in a way, that’s interesting and memorable. We hope others are lucky enough to have Lily.

Seeing Versailles and the gardens with a golf cart and guide was so valuable! Sebastian our greeter helped us get to the right place. He was friendly and considerate. Meg, our guide was so knowledgeable. She took us to see hidden parts of the gardens we never would have found on our own. She added so much to the whole experience!
Amazing private tour!

Jennifer was absolutely amazing. Showed us everything and explained the history behind it. Got us front of the line access to the palace. The golf cart portion of the garden tour was great as well. Highly recommend this private tour. I couldn’t imagine doing this without a private tour guide.
Outstanding

Fabulous tour of the gardens on golf cart - Guide was awesome. Very busy inside the actual Palace but that’s to be expected. A must-see while in Paris!
