Must do - I had been to Versailles years ago and wanted a guide. The first one cancelled about 24 hours before. Not happy. But booked again and our guide Vladina ;maybe Gladina) was superb. A little ray of sun and energy and with so much information. Enjoyed seeing all the extras and the gardens. Such a lively day. Not sure about Get Your Guide (we also had our Notre Dame guide cancel last minute with no explanation). But our guide could not have been better on this one!!

Versailles Palace - Had a great Versailles tour with Anne Sophie. She was super knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to follow without it feeling overwhelming. You can tell she really knows her stuff and enjoys what she does.
The tour was well organized and she kept it interesting the whole time. Definitely made the experience better than just walking around on our own. Would recommend!

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.
