My granddaughter & I took this tour. Our tour of the Château de Versailles and its magnificent gardens was outstanding, even with the extreme heat on June 27th. Our guide—a very tall, young man with blonde hair—was exceptional. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name, but he was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and kept the group entertained throughout the tour. Despite the challenging weather conditions, he did an excellent job of keeping the tour moving while thoughtfully finding shaded areas whenever possible to make everyone more comfortable. His enthusiasm and expertise truly enhanced the experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Versailles. Touring the Palace is an absolute must. Even though temperatures outside were extremely high, the interior of the Palace was cool and comfortable, making it an enjoyable experience from start to finish.
The tour was on point, the meeting location and logistics is easy and friendly. And the tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I’d highly recommend this trip.
Thank you, Michael! We're glad the meeting point and logistics were easy to follow, and that your guide's knowledge made the tour a great experience. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
Had a great walking tour with Andrea! Small group, interesting facts, lots of fun banter. Highly recommend
Thank you, David! We're delighted you had a great time with Andrea, small groups really do make room for more interesting facts and fun conversation along the way. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again soon!
The 40 minute walk to the clisest pick up stop was a bit much in the heat, but walking was a nice way to see the shops and people. Without a tour group we saw everything without rushing to the next. Way more photos were taken. It was wonderful.
Thank you, Lisa! We're glad the walk to the pickup stop gave you a chance to take in the shops and see the city at your own pace, and that going without a big group meant more time for photos and no rushing. We're happy the day was such a hit, especially for your son. Hope to see you both again soon!
Top, the scenery is very beautiful and the guided tour allows for a gradual and personalized experience.
