Traveler reviews
Wonderful and interesting tour!
Anna was great!! She was very knowledgeable, fun and provided great insight for the palace and what to do outside after the tour. I highly recommend this tour!
Very engaging
It was very crowded, but our guide did an amazing job of keeping us moving as well as giving us time to learn about the beautiful palace.
Great experience
Our tour guide (Rosie - sorry if I have got your name wrong) was really engaging and very knowledgeable. We had a great time on the tour and learnt a lot about the history of Versailles. The tour worked really well as the private apartments were quiet and our guide could use this time to explain more things to us. The public part was very busy and noisy but again our guide was great at taking us through these rooms.
Great day in Versailles
We got to see private rooms in the palace that the general entry ticket doesn’t allow. Our tour guide Rose was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We had a lovely day and we are glad that we ventured out of Paris to see this magnificent museum and it’s gardens.
Rose! Outstanding guide.
Be prepared to WALK! Long restroom lines, should you need. Our tour guide in English was Rose. Obviously Very educated, and as a result very well presented; with a touch of humor, pay attention.
