Traveler reviews
I really enjoyed this...
I really enjoyed this tour overall. Versailles was beautiful, and I especially appreciated being given free time to explore the gardens at our own pace rather than having every part of the visit structured. My main issue was with the audio equipment, which repeatedly cut out or stopped working throughout the guided portion of the tour. As someone who is hard of hearing, this was incredibly frustrating because I rely heavily on the headset to be able to follow what the guide is saying. There were parts of the tour where I missed information simply because I couldn’t hear it. Aside from the audio issues, I had a really enjoyable experience and thought the tour was a great way to visit Versailles from Paris. I would still recommend it, but I really hope the audio equipment is improved or checked more thoroughly in future, particularly for guests with hearing difficulties.
Nicolas is the best tour guide
Our tour guide Nicolas was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable about the Chateau and history of Versailles…was very interactive with our group and made us all comfortable answering questions and sharing his knowledge…we are going to request him for an additional tour
Versailles is Beautiful
Very enjoyable experience. Excellent tour guide (Isobel). After a comfortable ride to Versailles we spent a couple hours there with a combo tour and time on your own to explore. Lovely not to wait in line. Well worth it.
The Spark Notes Tour
Well organized which was great as you are covering a lot in a short period. Our guide was outstanding, quite a storyteller. As for the gardens, don’t expect flowers and they are French. The citrus garden was fun.
It’s an amazing...
It’s an amazing experience, a must see. Our tour guide Nicolas was the absolute best. He is not only knowledgeable, but he’s kind and personable. If you can ask for a guide, please ask for him.
