Excellent tour of Versailles
The experience was interesting and educational. Our guide Danielle was very knowledgeable in French history as well as the history of the chateau. The meeting point was easy to find and the staff were every helpful in getting us scheduled for another tour when a broken Metro train kept us from getting to our originally scheduled time.

Too Notch Private Tour
Not enough superlatives to describe the exceptional quality of our guide Zara. She was perfect in every way and we learned SO much! She made sure we experienced every single point of interest listed on the itinerary and knew how to navigate the crowds. We were especially thankful to tour both Grand and Petit Trianon with her and enjoyed visiting Marie Antoinette’s hamlet. Lunch at La Flotille was also wonderful and she made a long 8.5 hour day fly by. It was totally worth the high cost.

Golf Cart Tour family of 4
The grounds are immense! Taking the golf cart helps you explore more of the impressive gardens! We were a family of 4 so two golf carts were needed, two carts were included in the price. Our guide, Alex with LivTours was GREAT! He was extremely knowledgeable about the palace, the kings and French history in general. He was polite, enthusiastic and a pleasure to tour with.

Royal Treatment
This is truly a personalized tour capturing 2 sights in one day. The travel time to both of these locations is also time that the guide is providing you with lots of great information . It was so great being picked up at our hotel and being transported in a very nice and comfortable van. Our guide Rozzen was absolutely fantastic!

A perfect day in Versailles
Julian was an amazing guide. On our way to Versailles he made excellent use of time and media to set the stage for what we were going to going to experience. Our tour had just the right amount of detail and we got to see everything we hoped to and more. He also researched a restaurant in town that offered vegetarian options which was important to us.

Wonderful in all aspects
The tour was well organized from beginning (meeting point) to end. Our guide, Marley, was personable, fun and knowledgeable. She ensured participants were safe and had a good time. The sites were spectacular. We very much enjoyed our visit to the town of Versailles.

Historical Versailles Private Tour
Gustavo was at our hotel a few minutes early, so we were already on our way by 2 pm. It was a great experience for our first visit to Versailles. Gustavo shared a lot of history about Versailles, including information about the royal families of France in relation to Versailles and history of Versailles itself - from the beginning to now. He pointed out the reservoir for the water that feeds the fountains and explained a little about how they work. After our tour of Versailles, we spent time in the gardens and were able to admire the fountains - which were running! We didn’t stay as long as we might have if it was warmer and not raining.

Fascinating experience! Highly recommend--
I have mobility problems, so we splurged on a private tour. It was well worth it -- our guide was so knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. We would have missed so much if we had gone on our own. (Also, because the elevator is in what was the royal family's private area, we got to see what one of their personal rooms looked like.)

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Versailles is as rich in history as it is in gilded furniture and over-the-top décor, as you can experience yourself with a visit to its opulent residences and gardens—and there’s no better way to take it all in than on a private sightseeing tour of Versailles. Many such tours include the services of a private guide, skip-the-line access to the palace, and private transportation from Paris to make you feel like a VIP.
