Gardens are a must do! - Absolutely loved the tour, especially the garden portion. Our guide (Danielle) knew the way to all the hidden groves with fountains and worked around the fountain “show” times to make sure we saw them operating. The chateau tour was great, too, but the gardens are a can’t miss experience.

Great Day in Versaiiles - The tour was great. It was crowded yet our guide Tayago was able to get us to great visibility and comfort within the various rooms. His stories were entertaining and engaging. Definitely recommend.

FANTASTIC- MUST DO-MUST SEE. Thoroughly enjoyed and the guide was funny, knowledgable and interesting. - We did the palace and garden tour. You really need to do this guided like we did. We thoroughly recommend it, you learn so much and really get to understand the history behind everything. Do the full guided palace tour and guided garden tour as well. Choose a nice sunny day to really enjoy this experience. You need to walk quite a bit and can’t sit down much - so bear this in mind or take a folding mini compact stool. You cannot eat during the tour but you can drink water.

Versailles with Sammya - Our guide Sammya was great!!Very pleasant , professional and especially passionate!She shares her knowledge with good humor. She is concerned about her group and respect for it (especially in the face of other unscrupulous guides to pass before the others!). She made our visit very pleasant and informative. Thank you for the 3 Mosellans Sammya

A Wonderful Versailles Tour - Valerie, our guide was an absolute delight, a wealth of knowledge, and very professional. Her humor combined with her knowledge base made for a wonderful Versailles tour on a very busy Saturday. I wish all of our Guides were as good as Valerie.
