Wonderful experience! - What an enjoyable day! The tour was more than we expected. Our guide, Sophie, was the perfect host. Her knowledge of history was incredible. She also attended to each of her guest’s needs. We were a little worried that the all day tour would be too much for a couple of seventy-year-olds but it was a delight!

Magnificent! - This was an absolutely amazing tour! Vladina was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. She shared many facts about the kings, queens, courtiers, mistresses and court etiquette. This helped us understand this magnificent palace and gardens much more than just walking around and looking at things.

Beautiful and very special. - Vladine was a fantastic tour guide. We couldn’t have had any better. She made our day at Versailles so special, we will never forget it.
The tour itself was seamless, there was certainly thousands there at the same time but she guided us along with the multitudes around the palace & gardens with minimum fuss.
Her knowledge of the history of Versailles was amazing and she encouraged questions at any stage which she answered so well.
All in all a beautiful day in one of the worlds must beautiful places.

Fascinating Tour - This is a comprehensive tour and is fascinating. The tour takes all day so be prepared to spend a lot of time at Versailles. It’s worth the time to have access to the various spaces around the palace.

Great experience. - We are glad we picked this trip. Be prepared for a long day of walking. We like to walk so it was very nice for us. The property is amazing and you get to see a good bit of it considering how big the property is. Without our tour guide Vilandia, this would not have been as educational. Having a guided tour is very important for the experience. Many people do not choose to do the Maria Antoinette house, but we were very happy that we did.
