Excellent tour to see Versailles! We also went to the front of the lines for entry, guides were very knowledgable. - This tour was great, guides were excellent and Manny explained things very well, with humor and interest for our 12 year old daughter. We had priority access as well, skipping all of the long lines for entry, we walked right into the castle. The walk through the town was charming and Andre did a great job explaining the local markets and the best ways to travel back to Paris. We chose to take a train back that ended right at the Eiffle tower to see that as well in the afternoon.

Knowledgeable and considerate - Definitely book with a knowledgeable guide to see Versailles! Our tour was considerate and well paced. We had a guide and full explanations from our meeting point in Paris all the way through the tour in Versailles. Lucienne was so knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations of history and the moments of the tour.

Excellent overview tour of Versailles - This was a very good overview tour of Versailles. The place is so large that it will take more than a few hours to see the whole thing. Good thing that you can spend a few extra hours exploring. Taking the train back is pretty easy.

A great time - This was a fun excursion! We had two guides. On took us from Paris on the rail system to Versailles. Wales is through the town and showed us around. Then we met our other guide who walked us through the palace itself. Very knowledgeable and warm.
