What are people saying about Versailles

Versailles is amazing
We had a great day at Versailles. It started off a little shaky as the train bringing the guide and some of the people were late. Johnny more than made up for it. He was very knowledgeable. The palace was very crowded but he was able to find us places to gather to tell us about the rooms. The grounds are gorgeous! I’d definitely recommend getting the tram tickets or renting the golf cart. We walked over 20,000 steps on this excursion.

Well Worth A Visit
Easy meet and greet right by the train station, our guide Emelie, was great, comfortable with questions, humorous and professional. The gardens are vast, so be prepared to walk or rent a golf cart/buggy. The small train that runs around just takes you between the main parts of the gardens, not good for seeing the gardens or fountains. All in all well worth the money, all 4 of us would recommend this visit

Versailles with a private guide
This was a wonderful way to see all of versailles and the garden in a timely manner. There is no way we would have gotten through it all ourselves. Was special to see the fountains as they only are on two days a week. Loved our guide. He was very knowledgeable and a great photographer!

Best way to really see Versailles
This was a great way to see all the grounds at Versailles in addition to touring the palace at the end. We had a wonderful tour guide and a delicious picnic lunch and the golf carts were fun but the bike ride was the best! We were three generations, with the youngest of my three grandchildren being only 8 and she had no trouble keeping up! Going to Marie Antoinette’s hamlet was like being in a real life fairy tale village. If I could give this tour 10 stars I would!

The guide was...
The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. In a crowded venue she was able to keep our group intact, entertained and gave us a very engaging recitation of French history, concentrating on the build of Versailles and the eventual end of the monarchy. I liked our guide.

One of the best tours
We loved this tour. The guide, Aisha, was so kind and well-informed and made the experience special and interesting. The idea of using golf carts and shuttle made it possible for my husband who has some mobility challenges to enjoy himself as much as we all did. Bravo

Best experience for a short visit to Versailles
We hit an unfortunate amount of traffic on our way to the meeting spot and the team at Unlimited Biking (Formerly Fat Tire Tours) was extremely accommodating and kind to us. The bike being great quality was an added bonus! Highly recommend the only way to experience Versailles, is with the guides and team at Unlimited Biking (Formerly Fat Tire Tours). Thank you!!

Fun day at versailles
Wonderful way to experience the beautiful grounds of Versailles. Our guide Marley was personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed spending more time outside at the farmers market and gardens but people should know that you are on your own for palace. There is no guided tour inside (which was fine with us). Great day for our family.

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.

A Highlight of Our Paris Trip – Outstanding Versailles Tour
Our guided tour of Versailles was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Gustavo was an exceptional guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history. He didn’t just recite facts; he brought the stories, people, and events of Versailles to life in a way that made the experience unforgettable.
We walked away with a much deeper understanding of the palace, its history, and the lives that unfolded there. Gustavo’s storytelling made everything feel vivid and meaningful.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Versailles, and especially recommend Gustavo as your guide. An outstanding experience from start to finish.

Thank you!
Helena was on time and very friendly! She had good knowledge of the area and listened to our wishes and desires of what to see and what to do. She gave us a good overview of what we wanted to see in Paris in a short amount of time. Our driver, AMIR was an excellent driver and got us through very tight traffic jams in some of the city squares and roundabouts. Thank you very much.

A must book if you are in Paris!
Our tour guide Toby was phenomenal! Super knowledgeable and full of stories; not only for the tour but also about the town and culture! He went our pace, athletic, and it was amazing! He took photos of us, and gave us extra inside knowledge on other things around the area and our future plans!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
While many people spend an entire day in Versailles, you’ll be able to see a fair bit of its historical attractions in only half a day, particularly if you sign up for a half-day tour of Versailles that will show you the highlights efficiently, often with the support of a guide. For added time-saving convenience, tours usually include skip-the-line access to the palace and gardens, and some include round-trip transportation from Paris, too.
