So fun! - Mother/daughter college graduation trip! So amazing. Martin, our guide, was really helpful, knowledgeable & kind. Walked us to AND from our hotel to Versailles. He was super patient with our mishaps & tardiness. Highly recommend this tour.

A great way to tour versailles - My teenage daughter and I did this together and we both enjoyed it! I believe this was a better way for us to tour Versailles than anything we would have come up with on our own. It was great to have a guide, and Nick knew tons of info about France, Versailles, history, food, wine, you name it! The highlight, though, was the biking. We loved it!

Fun and Worth the Money - Really fun and the VIP access to different parts of the grounds and private areas of in the Palace was worth the price. It poured rain on us, and we still loved it. Our biking guide was great, and our Palace tour guide was too.

Lovely day at Versailles - We had an excellent time. OJ was an amazing guide, and handled the group (some of whom really needed handling) very well. We zipped all around the grounds (surprisingly deserted) and had a lovely picnic. I am nervous biking on streets, but OJ explained everything, and I felt very safe. One suggestion: at the end, when we were on our own, I was surprised that you needed another ticket to see the gardens. We had been in gardens on the grounds, but not right behind the chateau. I knew I had a ticket on me of some sort, but wasn't sure it was the right thing, and was too tired in the direct sun to go digging for it. It would have been great to be reminded at the end that we had garden tickets that would work for the entry at the chateau. As it was, I bought tickets that I didn't need to buy. My fault, for sure. It's just a suggestion to help others avoid the same mistake.

The ONLY way to see ALL of Versailles without hating yourself at the end. Amazing 🤩 - Our guide was Nick, a veteran. Classy and fun! We have zero complaints. It was an amazing experience for our family of 5. Would highly recommend.

The biking tour made visiting Versailles more enjoyable a different view of the palace and gardens. - Aaron our bike guide was amazing. The metro strike was on and he was able to navigate the situation for us. He us very knowledgeable and humorous. The visit to the market made our tour complete.

OK. Too much time on the private quarters. Tour did not include main Gardens or public halls in the Palace. - Enjoyed the market and picnic, as well as the backstory on Marie Antoinette. Wish the tour had included time in the main Gardens, as well as the public rooms in the Palace of Versailles.
