Beautiful Versailles

Versailles was incredible and our tour was all that it advertised. The pick up was in time and not rushed. Enjoyed others in our group too. Guide was organized and explained all clearly, giving much history of what we were seeing. I highly suggest this tour. Hotel/ Airbnb pick is well worth it.

Sophie was a great guide and the driver was prompt and professional. It was nice to be have private transfer since it was so cold when we went. My only complaint was that the tour was short and not really anything special. You could saved the money and rent a listening device at the front desk. We went in the winter so the line wasn’t bad.

Day Trip To Versailles
Taylor_P
, Feb 2020
Pick up and drop off at the hotel was on time and very smooth. Worth it rather than trying to take the train and walk the remainder of the way. The tour was great and the head phones were a must with all the visitors inside Versailles. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us many insights into life at Versailles. Walking the gardens was also very beautiful with the remainder of our time. Buy a bottle of wine, get some food and explore all the different areas of the gardens. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris.

We were picked up from our hotel on time, by the driver. Our guide Isabelle was very knowledgable, concise and kept the whole group engaged during the tour. We had enough time to see everything in the palace and a leisurely walk around the gardens afterwards.
