The tour was amazing! We covered the Palace, the gardens, grounds, the Trianons and so much more. Our guide (M) is an historical expert and gave us tons of information about the period, the cultures and customs, and the prominent figures. She keyed in on the things that interested us while assuring we got all the details and nuances. The guide picked us up at our flat and she engaged us in history from door to door about Paris and Versaille. We definitely recommend the personal tour; our small group navigated the grounds and around the crowds with relative ease and allowed for a much more personalized experience.

The Versailles Palace tour was great! I enjoyed having a guide walk us and educate us in the palace. The gardens were beautiful, definitely could have spent much more time walking thru them.

The highway was closed due to the upcoming Olympics so our bus driver had to take an alternative route which was going through small villages. This was a treat!

While the Versailles Palace and Gardens themselves were absolutely spectacular, our experience with the half-day guided tour from Paris was unfortunately disappointing. The tour bus and venue delivered visually, but the tour guide assigned to us had a heavy accent which made understanding the history and stories of Versailles challenging. Additionally, it seemed that the guide was not well-informed, lacking depth in their knowledge about the palace and gardens. Consequently, we felt compelled to break away from the group and proceed with a self-guided tour. This decision, although not ideal, allowed us to better appreciate the grandeur of Versailles at our own pace. For the price paid, the tour did not meet our expectations and it was a letdown that we had to resort to touring on our own.
