    Took an audio guided tour through Versailles Palace and extended it with free time in the magnificent gardens. Our tour guide Marion was knowledgeable and kept an easy pace, giving us really interesting information whilst managing to expertly navigate us through the crowds. Audio was clear and bus ride to and from Paris was easy. We took the 1pm tour and were rewarded with great afternoon skies in the gardens with enough time to explore. I would highly recommend, even if a bit pricey. The skip the line was also worth it on this particular day (Saturday).

    Tundi was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. Her knowledge of the history of Versailles made the tour extra special.

    Barbara , the tour guide was excellent, she explained everything very well. She gave time to take pictures

  • 10-Oct-2022

    It was a nice guided tour. Our guide kept the tour funny by telling many interesting background information on French history. Duration of the tour could be a bit longer, e.g. 3 hours on the palace + 1 hour on the garden but all in all I think it was very good experience for us.

    The tour guide did not speak English so it was hard to Understand her. The hall of mirrors was spectacular.

  • 02-Oct-2022

    I had no idea how big the palace actually is. The opulence was amazing and hard to put into words. The gardens and fountains were beautiful and I especially loved all the little side “rooms” hidden within the garden.

  • 28-Sep-2022

    The hall of mirrors and artwork But the tour guide was too detailed and the tour took too long. Our tour group was so large that she was distracted and had difficulty remembering my few questions. She took too many long breaks and the 3 hour tour took more than 4 hours

  • 28-Sep-2022

    Our group guide, Barbara, was great. She went through so much history of the palace and grounds in just a few hours and spoke both English and Spanish, which aided our group since we had some Spanish speakers as well. Despite being pretty crowded, the palace was well worth the visit and the gardens were amazing.
