What a fabulous experience! The pick up and drive to the palace was easy. The driver handed us off to the guide and off we went into the palace and garden. Our guide was a phenomenal story teller and treated us to the perfect amount of French history to really understand what we were looking at. The palace was amazing and the visit was very worthwhile.
Our tour of Versailles was wonderful! Our mini-bus driver, Christophe, was punctual and helpful. There were four guests on our bus and then we joined 6 other guests from another bus for our guided tour. Our tour guide, Guillemette was fantastic...informative, cheerful, kind. The extra time in the gardens was a nice feature. Could not have asked for a better tour!
The day was perfect. Our driver Christophe was friendly and on time. Our guide, Sophie, was engaging, extremely knowledgeable and chatted personally with everyone in our group. She managed the crowds well. I highly recommend Sophie as a guide to Versailles. You won’t be disappointed.
