Great day at Versailles. - Comfortable bus and very friendly staff. Tour guide told us about Paris on the ride there. We spent about 2 hours touring the palace with a guide. She was wonderful and shared so much history! It was fascinating to learn about the kings, queens and revolutions. After the palace tour we were given about 1.5 hours on our own. We toured the outside fountains and gardens. There are many restrooms and places to eat and drink. We would love to come back and spend the day at the gardens especially when everything is blooming and the fountains are on. I highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful Palace and Amazing Tour! - It was a beautiful tour of Versailles. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very nice. Even though it wasn't busy season when we went it was still packed and we unfortunately had two people of our group disband in the beginning which caused some delays, but we still managed to see everything. The garden was gorgeous as well, but don't go too far in or you'd get lost!

Enjoyable morning in Versailles - Respect of the timing. Appropriate time given to visit the site. The communication between the guide and the customers was good, use of a mike... The experienced guide gave us an overall review of the French history related to Versailles, with his personal very interesting angle. Excellent guide.

Palace of Versailles tour - My daughter and I bought tickets for this tour, after being in Paris for a few days. It was a great option, as I didn’t need to navigate the trains/public transport to get there. Our guide Omar was excellent! He was friendly, knowledgeable and catered to our group. Being a smaller group, it was a great experience and we got to enjoy the Palace at a leisurely pace. Omar even took photos for our group as we were in the Hall of Mirrors. Overall, a fantastic day out!
