Great tour, great guide!!!!!
Roseanne was wonderful, great guide, very informative, knowledgeable, pleasant, made sure we gotr all of the information we needed, when Marie Antionette's village was unexpectedly closed, she was able to pivot, and take us to Monet's house and gardens which was a wonderful...we were thoroughly pleased with this option, if not for Rosanne we would have been left with nothing to do. Great tour, great guide!!!!!

Stunning Versailles
This was my second visit to Versailles but first time with a guide. Our guide, Isabel was lovely and extremely knowledgeable. She explained much of the history of Versailles and its inhabitants. She was also very knowledgeable about the artworks and the artists. I highly recommend this tour and the additional access ticket to the magnificent gardens.

Wonderful Tour and Guide
Zara was a wonderful guide. Friendly and very knowledgeable. A productive day at Versailles would have been impossible without her guidance. She also went above and beyond when we left a personal item at a restaurant during our lunch break. We did not realize it was missing until and hour or so after lunch; however, she assisted us with the return of the item. Thank you, Zara, for a great tour!

Wonderful
This was a wonderful day in Versailles. The meeting instructions to begin our tour were clear and accurate and Annie was a cheerful, friendly and helpful guide. She was informative about the history of the palace and the people who lived there.
We all loved the golf carts tour of the extensive gardens at the beginning of the tour. The included shuttle connections between the Trianons and the Palace were good to have over long distances. Appropriate time was allowed for a coffee stop in the morning and for lunch. Some of our group opted to cycle between the attractions which meant our guide had to go with them and she had to rely on one of the rest of the group to take responsibility for a group ticket for shuttle transport for the rest of the party. This worked with the goodwill of all involved.
However, I think issuing individual tickets for the shuttle would give more flexibility. Participants could then choose to spend as much time as they wished at the different attractions and be responsible for getting themselves to the final meeting point on time before entry to the palace. We all had a wonderful day, however, and would certainly recommend this tour.

Absolutely EXCELLENT experience at Versailles… Giovanna is AMAZING… very knowledgable and dedicated. She show us the Garden and the Palace with such enthusiasm; we learned lot of things about French history… she even offered us to take pictures whenever we want. Highly recommended!

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 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.

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!

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.
