Quick palace tour/witty guides - Loved the early tour. Very interesting and funny. Our only issue was after the guided tour we had only 45 minutes left before we met back up with the driver. We had maybe 30 minutes to explore the gardens and no time for the other buildings on the garden property We liked the small group. 6 ppl

Great Tour, Great Team! - We had such a great time here. First, Versailles is incredible. The trip, however, is made better when you have someone like Dario as your guide. He was funny, personable, and very knowledgeable. Our driver (I didn’t catch his name—I do remember he was from Tunisia) was very sweet and thoughtful. If I could give six stars, I would do so because of the tour team we had. Highly recommended!

Versailles - The greed of the royals as seen in this palace led to the French Revolution. It is easy to see why. Too many people trying to crowd into the ornate and opulent rooms. Knowledgeable guide.
