Becky did a great job...

Richard_S, Mar 2026

Becky did a great job making a memorable experience for our family. It was cold and rainy, but Becky kept it fun and light, and we learned a lot from her.

Full Day at Versailles

Dale_R, Nov 2025

Becky was an excellent guide, telling us about the history of the palace and LouisIV. She was most knowledgeable and very pleasant and helpful. A true delight!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with Becky. Her knowledge of the palace and the fascinating era of Louis XIV is exceptional, and we’re thrilled that her explanations helped bring that history to life for you. Becky is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely pleasant, thoughtful, and always eager to help — a true delight, as you said! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on another memorable tour soon!

Big No

Ilya_Y, Aug 2025

There was absolutely nothing "expert" about this tour. The person who claimed to be our "guide" was friendly enough but had zero knowledge about Versailles, Trianon, Marie-Antoinette or French history in general. In the main palace, she got us audio tours (which we could have bought ourselves at €8 apiece) and left us to explore the palace on our own. In Trianon, she nonchalantly informed us that it was her first visit to the place. Avoid at all costs!

Don't miss the Hamlet or Petit Trianon! Versailles is do much more!

Laura_M, Aug 2025

Becky and Ash were so much fun. Very knowledgeable about Versailles, Hamlet, Petit Trianon and gardens. We started the morning with a lovely breakfast fit for a King! Becky and Ash were always happy to take a picture of us. Thanks for a wonderful day!
