Versailles with lunch - A must see. Wonderful guide picks you up at hotel and drives you to Versailles parking lot. Escorts you to the entrance. Amazing palace and gardens are a must see. The petit Trianon is incredible as well. Good food for lunch.

Amazing Day at Versailles w/ Roseanne - Roseanne was incredible! Part of our family had never been to France, and she made our day at Versailles one of the most epic vacation experiences we've ever had. It felt like a master class in French history and art, and her kindness and attention to detail was unmatched. Great communication from the tour agency, too. The hotel pick up was well worth it.

Amazing Versailles Tour - Outstanding tour of Versailles! Our guide Chris was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about all things related to Versailles. You also must visit the Queen's hamlet. What an incredible garden and beautiful place. I would highly recommend Chris and this tour.

Invest in Your Memories and Book this Tour - Zara made our day at Versailles everything it needed to be. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on the day of our tour and she certainly made it a memorable milestone. She picked us up on time and began sharing her wealth of knowledge about Paris with us during the ride to Versailles. She is attentive, insightful, professional and just an all around nice person. She knew of excellent photo spots and always offered to take photos of us with beautiful backgrounds. The day was tailored to us and she ensured we were satisfied with her services throughout the day. We traversed the Palace, gardens, Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon and the grounds surrounding it. She, and my husband, patiently waited as I could not pass up a gift shop. Lunch was wonderful and she checked on us during it to ensure we were being well taken care of. If going to Versailles is something you have always wanted to do, invest in your experience and book this tour, specifically with Zara if you can.

Best in class tour provider - Timely pick up in a clean comfortable vehicle. Our guide Zarah was outstanding. Good English skills and lots of interesting information and insights. Very open to questions from us, and would provide a knowledgeable answer. She is very knowledgeable and delivers it without it being a lecture.
We very much enjoyed our time with her.

Great way to see Versailles - Tour provides transportation from Paris to Versailles and back in a comfortable van. Guide is knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch is included except for alcohol. Tour includes Marie Antoinette’s farm.

Wonderful guide, but transport and lunch were not what was promised - Our guide Zara was excellent, very knowledgeable and professional. Versailles was incredible and we got to see it all -- the palace, the gardens and groves, the Trianons and the hamlet. The guide provided a combination of walking tour and driving through the chateau grounds - which were beautiful and interesting. Only two points of disappointment with things that differed from what was in the tour description on Viator: (1) the car transport was not in a Mercedes as indicated, but rather the tour guide's personal car (Tesla model 3) which was not so comfortable for my husband in the back seat, and (2) the included lunch was not at La Flotille as indicated but rather at the Le Petit Bouillon, which was not good (Google rating of only 3.8). While the menu choices were varied, the quality of the food and wine was poor and we didn't eat most of it. For what we paid for this private tour, the tour company could have provided the promised transportation class and better caliber of restaurant. Nevertheless, our overall experience was very good and we very much enjoyed our day at Versailles.

Whiny tour guide that quizzes. - Tour guide needs to retire or learn how to speak to clients. Don't quiz and complain about something mentioned 45 minutes earlier. We are there to see stuff, so visual information is being absorbed instead of tidbits that can be looked up online anytime. A little overpriced for what was received. Tour events were as described. France is too cheap to run the Versailles fountains during the weekdays. Uploaded picture is middle of August with a plain garden with no fountains on. No frills.
