Beautiful day in May at Monet's House and Gardens and Versailles
Giverny Monet's House and Gardens was absolutely gorgeous with all the flowers and plants in full bloom in May. We had plenty of time to tour the house and gardens on our own, before meeting up with Nicholas, our guide. After a lovely lunch at a small restaurant in the countryside, we moved on to Versailles. Nicholas was very knowledgeable and toured us through the Palace with good commentary on each room. It was extremely crowded but he kept us together and informed so we didn't miss out on anything.

Our full day with several guides
Natalia met us to begin the tour. She was lovely and informative. I did however find the person in training a distraction. He monopolized Natalia’s time and it was rude to step ahead of paying customers. That correction should be part of his training. Our guide through Versailles was exceptional. He knew his history, and with a tad bit of humor as well as an impressive dialog with those he guided made this tour exceptional. Guide Michelle escorted us to Giverney. She gave all 47 of us a brief history of Monet as well as what to expect at the gardens. We were disappointed that the tour through the gardens was self-guided with an app. She did a good job of communicating but 47 is just a very large group. Michelle communicated with humor and information. She did have exclusive chats that only included the front of the bus. The back of the bus was not included. For example, she asked the entire bus a question and a person up front answered her, however she never gave the answer or explanation to everyone, just to the front.
All in all, Eric stands out as exceptional Natalia was very good and Michelle was good.

Iván was an amazing tour...
Iván was an amazing tour guide - so knowledgeable and passionate about history! His direct, no-nonsense personality kept us all on track (very efficient) and made me laugh. I highly recommend going to Versailles with Iván - you get so much more out of the trip!

Paul’s Bike tour
We really loved our bicycle tour. The tour group was so kind and making sure we were all comfortable on our bikes before beginning the trip.
We at no time felt we were in an unsafe situation.
Paul was very informative regarding the history of all the different places we visited. The other tour guide that accompanied the trip was excellent also in explaining the history while inside the Versailles . We had a beautiful cheese and meat tasting at the public market. Then the most incredible lunch sitting outside on the water! We will recommend it to our friends who come to Paris. Thank you again.!!!

Unexpected delight
We booked the tour because there were no entry tickets available anymore for the dates we wanted to go, but it was definitely worth every cent. Our guide knew a lot about the building, paintings, ceilings, garden and even more about the history. She answered the most random questions with ease and knew how to tell the stories.

Picnic and history on the palace grounds
We did this in 2023 and had a great time! Biking around the grounds of Versailles gave us a chance to see the palace from a rare angle. Our tour guide gave us the history of the palace at different stops. We also ate a picnic lunch on the grounds from what we bought at the market (having had about 30” to wander the food market before the ride, including a little wine shop). Our guide left us to tour the inside on our own. I must say, the inside has gotten so crowded over the past 25 years, with so many people taking selfies, that the interior of the palace has lost its charm and become like Disney World. Stick with the bike ride and picnic and you’ll have a great time!

Stephanie was great, she...
Stephanie was great, she was able to make you relive the life of Versaille palace with great humour, as well as being very knowledgeable of the history, she could tell the story to all ages in the group, the time passed so quickly and wish we could have more of her time

A great way to see the site!
This was a wonderful way to see Versailles! Grigor made us feel like VIPs as we toured the gardens and palace - no waiting in the lines, and he knew all the side doors and employees so he was able to get my elderly father around with the least amount of walking/steps. Learned a lot and Grigor made it fun for three generations of my family!

Stunning and informative!
Versailles is a must-see experience while in Paris and this tour was the perfect length to not only see the incredible opulence of the palace and wonder in the exquisite gardens but also to understand the role the palace and those that lived there played in the French Revolution. Honore, our tour guide, was amazing. I learned more about French history in the few hours we spent together than the whole rest of my time in Paris.

Having a guide...
Having a guide explain/describe the construction of Versailles Palace is necessary to appreciate its place in French and world history. We also enjoyed walking the gardens with an experienced guide to explain the design/use by the King Louies. Amazing day!!

Fun and Active Tour
Our guide, Aloïs (apologies if misspelled), was fantastic. In spite of a strike and technical issues delaying our start, he made sure our tour was relaxed and complete. Aloïs’ knowledge of Versailles and French history was deep, and he is a great “storyteller”, giving us such important historical and cultural context. We loved the golf cart and bike combination so we could get all the way out to the Queen’s Hamlet. It is a very active day… and one we will never forget.

The Gardens
This was a great way to tour the gardens. We did most of the day in golf carts moving from one garden to the next. There was a little tram that transported us midway. Others did the bikes. We walked the farm area on our own. At the end of the tour our guide gave us instructions on touring the building. So much to see and so little time. I would do this again.
