Our family had a wonderful tour with Yichen. He was so knowledgeable about the Palace and Gardens. He was wonderful with our children. And great at taking many family photos in perfect locations. We really enjoyed his level of detail on locations and historical facts. We were all impressed with a wonderful day! You definitely need a guide, bc u will not see the hidden gardens without a guide. Also highly recommend the golf cart. There r so many things to see and not enough time if you are walking.
We had the most wonderful tour of Versailles with Giovanna through Liv Tours. A three hour tour of the gardens and the Palace. Giovanna is an amazing historian who made history come alive. What an amazing experience.
Ramona was very informative and knowledgeable about the history and art. She did a great job. The garden tour added so much more.
Seeing the pink car pull-up made us extremely happy. Sophia was a magnificent tour guide, authentic, kind, knowledgeable, and fun. We also love the champagne touch. We Definitely recommend this fun tour for anyone wanting to take a fabulous view of authentic Paris.🇫🇷
We toured with Z and could not have had a better experience. He had extensive knowledge on the grounds, palace, and the royal family. Having the gold cart made the experience so much more enjoyable and allowed us to see so much more than we would have if we were trying to walk the grounds. It was the best experience of our trip to Paris. Thank you Z
We were picked up at our location and driven to Versailles. Our guide, Vivian, met us to begin our tour. She was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed having her as our guide and would definitely recommend LivTours.tou ,
Z was our guide for the Palace and grounds on golf cart tour. He was funny, knowledgable and kept great pace so we were never bored, overwhlemed or rushed. The grounds are gorgeous, the palace is opulent - book it! Our group of 4 inlcuded our 2 kids - 19yo and 16yo. My 19 yo said this was her favorite tour.
Our guide, “Z”, did an outstanding job! He is very informative and shared many amusing stories. We toured the gardens with golf carts which allowed us to see a great deal in a minimum amount of time. The palace was crowded, but he kept a good pace and kept track of us to ensure we were able to see all that is offered. We would definitely do a tour with Z again!
William was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and personable - beautiful day in the gardens and palace. Our tour was originally scheduled for the afternoon but due to hat they moved us to the AM w/o any issues
Z was amazing!!!! It didn’t feel rehearsed like experiences we’ve had with other guides. He was so funny and so knowledgeable. We had an excellent experience.
