Mila is fabulous and so personable!

Lisa, Jun 2026
Mila was fabulous, we just loved her. She personalized our tour to our curiosities and answered all our questions. I've been to the Versaille multiple times and learned many new things, I'd highly recommend her for any tour, she is lovely!

Private tour to Versailles, a Paris highlight

Jason_M, Jun 2026
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.

Fantastic Experience & Guide!

The most informative, perfectly paced, coherent delivery of all the tours we’ve done in and around Paris. So convenient to be picked up at our hotel. Not only did we learn about all the wonderful stories and history of Versailles but as we went through the city she gave us relative and interesting information of the many things we passed on our way to the palace! Highly recommend!

Private Guide & Tour

Having a private guide and driver makes the tour so much more enjoyable and interesting. Our guide was excellent. She had a plan to avoid the crowds which was fantastic. It made for much more interesting pictures.

Excellent Private Tour of Versailles.

The tour is very convenient with pickup and drop off at your hotel or home. The tour was informative, interesting, and our guide, Monty, was personable and kind.

Perfect day trip!

Perfect amount of time and balance between the palace and gardens. Wonderful car service with a tremendous guide who explained the history on our ride.

Best day and Memories made!!!!

Absolutely one of the best experiences that my family has had. The driver and the tour guide were very accommodating, the car was very clean, the pace of the tour was perfect, and the tour guide was informative and engaging for both of my children as well as my 70 year old mother. I very much enjoyed this tour and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was worth every penny.

Wonderful tour with a very experienced guide

Thomas_S, Apr 2024
We had a wonderful and very informative tour of Versailles and the gardens. Versailles is awe-inspiring to just wander around in, but we got much more out of the experience by having such a knowledgeable guide. Well worth it.

Excellent Experience

Natasha_P, Dec 2022
Our Viator tour with Claudio was excellent. We learned so much and he really brought the chateau experience to life! The history and art were stellar and even our driver, Guillaume, was attentive and so helpful.
