Dany knows her stuff!

John_B, Jun 2026

Dany was punctual, informative and gave great little insights. She looked after us, even though it was a busy day and it was crowded. I was impressed with how she knew her way around the grounds, especially the bosques. Highly recommend her! If we come back, I want to do a longer tour with her. She kept my girls engaged as well.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with Dany. Her knowledge, passion, and ability to adapt to busy conditions while ensuring every guest has a memorable experience are qualities we greatly value. We're especially pleased that she was able to keep your girls engaged and help you discover some of the hidden gems of the bosques. We will be sure to share your wonderful feedback with her. Dany will be thrilled to know she made such a positive impression. We look forward to welcoming you back for a longer tour in the future! Warm regards, Tour France Experience

Irene is the best guide...

Marlene_M, Aug 2025

Irene is the best guide we have had on our Paris trip! She has so much knowledge of Versailles and her stories were totally engaging. We travelled with our two 13 year old granddaughters and she had them enthralled the entire tour. Our visit to Versailles was top notch entirely thanks to Irene!!

Thyago is the best tour guide

Elma_C, Oct 2024

Thyago was wonderful and accommodating. He was informative and knowledgeable of Versailles history! Definitely worth it and highly recommended! Thank you Thyago!

Great day for family a the Versailles!

KATHERINE_N, Aug 2024

Erwin was a great tour guide for the kids. He had them sitting most of the time and looking up and around the rooms- it was perfect. He also had really great ways of explaining things so the kids would understand. My only reason for 4 stars is I thought it was a little expensive for 2 hrs.m

Fun,

Waldemar_T, Jun 2024

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Was travelling with teens and preteens, and tour guide adapted to their ages.

Excellent guide = excellent experience

Jennifer_H, Jun 2024

Our guide Faubion was excellent and added so much to our visit! He adeptly navigated the crowds and always found a way to position us with great views of the highlights. He was so knowledgeable and brought along additional materials to build context to the details. He kept my children engaged throughout and was genuinely a pleasure. Faubion made Versailles and French history much more tangible for our family. Highly recommend.

Great experience

Laurel_B, Mar 2024

Our guide was on time and in specified place he said. It was a beautiful tour full of history; our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We didn’t need to wait in any lines. Would recommend.

Visite extra du château de Versailles

Arnaud_R, Jun 2024

Visite privée du château de Versailles, en famille, avec Bertrand, un guide exceptionnel, intéressant, cultivé, drôle, courtois. Merci Bertrand, nous avons passé deux heures (et demie) passionnantes ! La visite donne un aperçu très complet du château, avec des commentaires artistiques, historiques, architecturaux et quelques belles anecdotes. C'est assez cher, mais cela valait vraiment le coup.
