What are people saying about Versailles

Highly recommend
This is a great tour. It takes all the guessing out of where to go, how to get there and offered the quickest way into the palace. Our tour guide Helin was amazing! She was super friendly and knowledgeable. She knew a lot of details about the palace and France's history. She really went above and beyond! While we were on the train, she provided a map of the palace to all of us, explained where everything is, where the best restaurants inside are and how to get around (golf cart, little train). After the tour was done, we were left with an abundance of information so that they we could explore further on our own!

Great day at Versaiiles
Great tour to give an overall impression of Versailles. The activity was well organized. Our driver picked us up at our hotel punctually. He was kind and offered tidbits of information as we drove around Paris and headed for the highway to Versailles. We only had 5 people in our group, so it felt very much like a private tour. The other folks were friendly and interesting. I can’t remember the name of our local guide, but she was excellent. She had a passion for French history and related this history while viewing the aspects of the palace. The tour allowed easy access to skip lines and get on with our activity. Versailles is massive, and I think without her help, we would have been frustrated wasting time. Our guide was very accommodating in taking pictures for us. This was a half day tour, which didn’t leave a lot of time for self exploration of the grounds. However, in the heat of the summer, the shorter tour time did allow us to experience the flavor of the place without being exhausted. It was surprisingly uncrowded on the day we went. Our guide told us that on a Wednesday, many people opt to go to the Louvre because it is closed on Tuesday—this left a smaller crowd at Versailles. For instance, reading reviews, I expected the Hall of Mirrors to be packed shoulder to shoulder, and it really wasn’t bad at all. However, Wednesday is also not a “fountain day”, so the water was not flowing. Not sure if this is always the case, or a function of France’s drought in the summer of ‘26. For efficiency, and the kindness/knowledge of our guide, I heartily recommend this tour!

Enjoyable and worth it
Wonderful overview of Chateau Versailles and our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful and very friendly. I would recommend going first thing in the morning as the crowds weren’t quite so bad yet. Just be aware to get to the Trianon is either a 40 min walk (too far in 40C heat) or pay 9 euros a person for a little tram ride with an unpredictable schedule.

Great experience
2 adults and a 16 old - all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the guide was knowledgeable, friendly, kept the group together and found us great spots within each of the rooms to take photos and stay as cool as possible. If the weathers hot take water and a fan as it can get warm in the crowded rooms, we didn’t pay to go into the gardens as we went to a fireworks event in the evening, I’d definitely recommend seeing them as they’re as magnificent as the palace. We couldn’t fault our experience, loved it!

Just outside of Paris, Versailles’ claim to fame is its 17th-century Palace of Versailles, the over-the-top gilded residence of Louis XIV. Tours of this UNESCO World Heritage Site often depart from Paris and include transportation, but you can also opt to meet your guide right in town and head off to explore together. The most popular Versailles tours involve exploring the palace and its opulent gardens on foot, but you can also opt for a tour that allows you to zip around in a golf cart instead.
