Thank you Julien!
This tour was everything I had hoped for and much more. Julien was outstanding..incredibly knowledgeable, gracious, funny and patient. I toured with my parents..my mother has mobility difficulties due to multiple back surgeries and I specifically chose this experience so that we could be flexible according to her needs. Julien went out of his way throughout the day to secure a wheelchair when walking would be too much for my mother. He pushed her in the wheelchair through much of the garden at Giverny, and almost the entirety of our time at Versailles, all while providing amazing insight and history. The ease with which we entered and explored both sites was an incredible relief for me, as I just wanted my parents to see as much as we could. If Julien didn’t think a normal part of the tour was wise, we pivoted to something safer. Even on the drive, Julien would stop to show us important historical sites and breathtaking views. Giverny has always been on my bucket list..it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. Seeing my parents looked after by Julien as I would look after them was the most priceless part of the tour. Thank you for everything Julien, I’ll never forget your kindness!!

An Unforgettable Day at Giverny and Versailles with Hervé
Absolutely — here’s a more enthusiastic version that still sounds polished:
What an absolutely incredible day! Giverny was magical, Versailles was breathtaking, and Hervé made the entire experience even more memorable. He is without question one of the most knowledgeable, personable, and engaging Viator tour guides we have ever had—and we’ve taken tours in Australia, Japan, Italy, and France. His knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm truly made this a day we will never forget.

Versailles Beyond the Palace 👑✨
This private tour was an excellent way to experience Versailles in a more personal and intimate setting. Zara was one of the most knowledgeable guides we have ever had. Her passion for French history made every room, garden, and story so interesting. She was also warm, friendly, and wonderful to spend the day with.
Do not miss Marie Antoinette’s private estate, especially the Petit Trianon and the Queen’s Hamlet, the charming village she created. It was peaceful, beautiful, and one of the sweetest and most memorable parts of the entire day. A five-star experience with an outstanding guide! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful tour to Versailles Palace
We had a wonderful tour! Latitia was very informative and we loved hearing all the stories about Versailles! She also made it very easy and comfortable to enjoy the tour. Based on the crowds surrounding, it could’ve been very overwhelming, but she guided us and told us what to look for and made the trip enjoyable. We will definitely book through this tour operator again.

Versailles Magnifique!
Just an exceptional experience, and a great way to enjoy the Palace of Versailles! The golf cart is the way to go in terms of touring the gardens… just makes the vast 2,000 acre site more accessible! Our privately guided tour was approximately four hours: two hours in the gardens and two in the palace. Our guide Alex was charming and oh so knowledgeable. Our tickets included jumping to the front of the queue, almost made it worth the entire tour price!? Thanks VIATOR and LIVTOUR!

As nearly everyone...
As nearly everyone mentions, Marley is a fantastic guide and shares history that I hadn’t heard before. This is the perfect day for those who want to leave all the planning and logistics to someone else and just enjoy themselves in a gorgeous setting. The bike portion lets you explore so much more than just the average trip to Versailles and the market is just fantastic.

Versailles from artistic and historic perspective
My husband, sister and I spent a fantastic day on a private half-day tour of Versailles. Chris picked us up at our hotel in a very nice vehicle.
The visit to the chateau with Chris was really interesting and informative. Chris has a wonderful perspective especially as he has a degree in art. He told us many details you would never learn on your own.

Private tour to Versailles, a Paris highlight
An excellent private tour for two including pickup from the hotel, a fantastic and informed tour of Versailles and a drop off under the Eiffel Tower (our choice). Jill was a fantastic guide and kept us both entertained with information both in the car on the way and then through the grounds and Palace. Due to an injury my partner was on crutches but that didn't stop anything and Jill arranged a wheelchair for the visit to the palace. Would highly recomend booking a self drive golf cart in advance to tour the grounds as well if you can.. sadly the queues were to big for us.

A wonderful experience
Zara was very knowledgeable about the palace and it's history. I enjoyed the whole entire experience from being picked up and discussing sites along the way to touring the palace and learning unique facts about each room. We were certainly taken care of and didn't have to worry about anything. The whole day went very smoothly and I was more than satisfied with our full day experience. Also, lunch did not disappoint! No notes, definitely worth the expense!

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.

Just right!
Wealth of knowledge in a short period of time. Just enough to not be exhausted and overwhelmed yet satisfied in having seen and understand what Versailles once was. Our tour guide was geeat!! Sure crowds are a pain, but so is every other worthy site. We came in March and it was not as bad as summer.

Oooohhh La La! Magnifique experience!!!
Ooohh La La!!! What an amazing experience. This was a great way to see Paris on foot. Our guide Helena was sooo knowledgeable! She knew all the ins and outs of the city - from culture, food, politics, and Parisian lifestyle! She went on our pace. She knows where to take photos! She made sure we were comfortable each time! We never felt rushed. In fact she went over time and wanted to keep on going! Kudos to Helena for a great French parisien tour experience!!! Highly recommended!
