Toby was a great guide

Toby was an incredible guide. There were nine of us, and he led us through the very best of the gardens, weaving in stories about the king and the grounds that brought the whole place to life. He took some lovely photos for us along the way, and was endlessly patient while we translated the tour for family members who needed it. We would recommend him to anyone hoping to discover Versailles.

Great experience

It’s completely worth every penny and minute of your time . I’d highly recommend touring both the palace and gardens … take your time and don’t rush the experience. A lot of history involved both American and French. The earlier you go the better to experience. Also know your admission gives you to entries into the garden. You’ve got the main one and one off to the side of the palace. The boutique inside also has some interesting things . Our guide, Toby gave a lot of historical facts and made it interesting. You can tell he personally enjoys giving the tours .
