A must see top 5 attraction in Paris. I was reluctant as it's 30 min from Paris, but totally worth it.

Violette the guide at Versailles and Andre the chaperon from Paris centre were extremely professional and friendly. The booking states train tix from Paris centre to Versailles but we ended taking a chartered mini bus instead, which is very appreciated. Violette is extremely knowledgeable and took us around a wonderful and informative tour of both the palace and garden grounds. Highly recommended tour which I would definitely repeat in a heartbeat!

Pros: the Palace and gardens are beautiful and a must see, the last entry time was good as to not feel so crowded (dont get me wrong, there were still definitely crowds - we waited in one bathroom line for 15-20 mins!). Easy comfortable transport from Paris to Versailles. Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Not so great: there were 2 people in our group who were late, so we waited for them before leaving Paris (reasonable, but they still didn’t show); then we had to wait again for them at the palace as they found other transport… then wait again when they didn’t show up that time either. I’m sure those guests appreciated all the accommodation, but the tour co could’ve done more for those of us who lost a good chunk of our tour time waiting for them. Also not so great was the tour guide was at times hard to understand. None of this should prevent you from going though - we saw what we came to see, learned a few things, and have some great pics and memories!

Hugo was the most fantastic host for this tour of Versailles! We started in the gardens and then toured the palace - our guide was so knowledgeable and funny which made it a highlight of our vacation. Perfect amount of time for a tour and extremely well organized. Highly recommend and I hope you get Hugo! He’s amazing!

Pretty good tour. I wished the tour went into the issues with the Kings and Queens a bit more. This tour felt a bit rushed.
