Versailles Palace & Louvre Museum Private Day Tour from Paris

We had a memorable experience touring Versailles and the Louvre with Dimitri. He was incredibly passionate and intense about his work—clearly someone who takes his job seriously and is deeply knowledgeable about French history and art. The tour was fast-paced, but understandably so—there was so much to see, and Dimitri was determined to make sure we got the most out of every moment. His energy and focus helped us cover an impressive amount of ground without feeling like we missed anything important. If you're looking for someone who will maximize your time and pack in a wealth of information, Dimitri is a great choice. We truly appreciated his dedication and expertise—it made for an unforgettable day!

It was a very demanding day of walking and standing, to see many wondeful sights and art. The guides were very knowledgeable and kind. We received no communication from the tour operator prior to the first pickup the morning of the tour, so we would have preferred a bit more information about pickup location with direct contact in advance.

The journey from Paris was comfortable and efficient. At the Louvre, I was captivated by the stories behind the art, and the visit to Versailles left me speechless with its royal elegance. The guide’s attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly enhanced the entire experience!

Booked this private tour upon the recommendation of a friend, and now I'd like to kill him. Total disaster. While our guide was nice enough, he was not a "guide." He had very little to offer both at the Lourve and Versailles beyond what we already knew as novices. Many questions were answered with "I don't know," which while refreshingly honest, was also disappointing to hear from a supposed expert. We were told we had reservations for lunch outside Versailles, only to be told upon arrival by the guide that he "made a mistake." Instead we walked from restaurant to restaurant in the rain to find somewhere to eat. Once at Versailles, the aggravation continued. Our guide discovered that his "Boss messed up" and only gave him two tickets for our party of four. We waited an hour for him to make phone calls to get authority for the additional two tickets. We were left with less than 90 minutes to tour Versailles and the gardens, under the pressure that the car would leave us there if we weren't back on time. The entire tour was a waste of money, the only benefit was being able to skip the line at the Lourve. Had we actually had enough tickets to get in, I suppose we also would have been able to skip the line at Versailles as well, but instead we waited an hour to get in. Very bad experience in an otherwise great couples' trip to France.

Our guide was knowledgeable and experienced. He was late but ensured to call us explaining the situation.

Gustavus was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating to the mobility needs of one of our party. We had previously visited both of these sites and this visit was dramatically more informative,

Excellent tour guide - Kevin. Wonderful historical site. Amazing gardens. Lots of history. Highly recommended tour. Timely pick up and drop off. Wonderful insights into history and the city of Paris.

Fred was excellent. He really helped us understand the history of both places. Great to skip the lines saved about two hours that we spent looking at the museums instead of waiting ion line. Highly recommend this tour and Fred.

We decided to spend a full day of our holidays at two of the most important landmarks in Paris, the Versailles palace and the Louvre museum. Anne Claire was a knowledgeable & experienced guide. We covered these 2 magnificent places in a private full day tour and increased our awareness of these two places. We enjoyed the fast access to the museum saving hours and hassle. We Got picked up from the the hotel. We enjoyed even the great gardens at the Versailles.She made the entire experience interactive and easily understandable by telling us the historical stories in English. She explained the great art works and palace through simple appropriate stories to even keep both our kids interesting through out the day. Highly recommended if you a day to spare.
