We requested a Spanish speaking tour guide. Jose Pareja exceeded our expectations! He was very knowledgeable and since he picked us up he was explaining a lot of French history! Very interesting”

The tour was given by Ivan a local Parisian who spoke perfect English and knew so much history of the palace, he even kept my kids interested in the history of place.”

We never would have been able to complete this tour without Vincent skillfully moving us along. Sunday is a madhouse, so was worth the money to do this, especially when you only have a few days in Paris.”

We had a very short stay in Paris, so this tour allowed us the ability to quickly see Versailles without missing any of the important sites. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable in art history and French history, so it was very educational for us. I would highly recommend this!”

Our guide Anne Claire was informative and knowledgable. She picked us up at our hotel and the ride was delightful and gave us a driving sightseeing tour on the way to the tour! Very pleasant way to see Versailles. Highly recommend.”

Wonderful experience. Our driver/guide was extremely knowledagle, so the ride to Versailles was very interesting. The small group tour that was arranged was perfect. We were able to see areas of the Palace that was not opened to the general public. Again that guide was very knowledgeable. After the tour our driver/guide met usin the gardens and provided additional history and information.
Although this was an expensive tour, it did not disappoint. The hotel pick up was so convenient and pleasant. No time wasted on figuring public transportation.
I highly recommend seeing Versailles with this tour.”

Our trip to Versailles was wonderful. There was a little confusion getting the guide to the hotel but once he arrived we were very impressed. Gustav was a very friendly and knowledgable guide. If you can get him as your guide to Versailles you will definitely come away very well informed as well as having had a really enjoyable, stress free visit!!”

Our guide, Gustavo, was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, a history major, and gave a very unique perspective on the background of the kings of France and how their time played into French history and culture. The 4 hour tour was perfect if you're just trying to hit the highlights.”

The private tour was very good.
Driver on-line and very accommodating.
His inside knowledge made the tour much more educational than the standard walk thru.
Recommend you take the morning tour, as crowds got significantly larger as day progressed.
Well worth the money over the standard tours.”

The guide was absolutely great, he was on time and took time during the excursion to explain everything, after the palace he took us down to park at the bottom, he was extremely well educated in his knowledge of the Bourbons and the French aristocracies and their extravagant way of lifestyle, the tour of the American exhibitions was great but a little too quick. Glad I made the booking through this web site and have strongly recommended it through another site. It was great to get through all the crowds, the tour was made simple, but the gardens should have been included in the price!”

Such a treat to be picked up outside of our apartment and escorted right to Versailles. Our guide was incredibly informed and brought our visit to a higher level. My only issue is the half day tour doesn't allow enough time to visit Maria Antoinette's apartment so check beforehand exactly what your tour will include.”

Our tour guides were great. We had one who gave us a tour of the city of Versailles and the outside grounds of the palace. Our other, Francesca, was AMAZING inside. She was super knowledgeable and she kept our three small children entertained as well. If you can get her as a guide you'll be very pleased.”

Great experience! Our guide, Gustabo, I think that was his name was very informative and made the visit to Versailles really come alive! The fact that we didn't need to find transportation and stand in line for tickets was great.”

This was by far the worst of our tours that we booked in Paris. Our driver/guide was prompt in picking us up and provided good commentary on the many rooms of Versailles and the grounds. The issues were that we did not in fact receive the skip the line option that was promised. We had the same skip the line option for the Louvre, and Eiffel Tower, and they were wonderful. At Versailles we waited in a long line in the bitter cold before we could enter. Once inside the building we were so crowded we could hardly move. The thick crowd, bent on taking pictures of everything, just kind of pushed you out of the way to get what they wanted. It was very frustrating. This is of course was no fault of the guide. He did his best to provide information on what we were viewing, but it was hard to concentrate while being jostled by the crowd who was so interested in taking photos of everything that I do not believe they were really even seeing or appreciating what was in front of them. Very sad. Our guide said that there was a huge influx of tourist due to it being Chinese New Year, and local school holiday. Overall I was disappointed with what I thought would be one of the highlights of our trip.”

Time spent inside the Palace was very short. We are rushed through everything inside the palace in a jiffy and you are out. We were given less than an hour inside the palace. Not memorable at all. Too expensive for such a short duration.”
