A Majestic Day at Versailles! - Our day trip to the Palace of Versailles was absolutely unforgettable with the help of our guide Sebastian! From the moment we arrived, the grandeur of the palace took my breath away. The Hall of Mirrors was stunning, and every room was filled with history, art, and opulence. Our guide provided fascinating insights into the lives of French royalty, making the visit even more engaging. The gardens were equally spectacular—perfectly manicured and stretching as far as the eye could see. We even had time to explore the charming Grand Trianon and Marie Antoinette’s estate, which added another layer to the experience. The entire day was well-paced, allowing us to soak in the beauty and history without feeling rushed. A must-visit for anyone traveling to France!

Must see! Pictures don’t even come close to being there! - What an incredible experience and the information and knowledge shared by our guide, Nicholas, really made an impact on why the people of France revolted! Highly recommend this tour, especially if you want a history lesson to go with it.

Family Half Day trip! - Great tour! Fast and easy location to find. Tour Guide knew a lot of information. He knew all the spots, to get us in fast and hop the line. It was very crowded and it was great to have someone tell exactly where to go and all the information. A half day was perfect for our teens. Would defintely recommend to family and friends.

Great small group tour! - Very good tour and worth the money to plan a private small group tour of this amazing palace. We learned so much history and got to see plenty of the palace interior and walk the outside grounds and gardens. Spectacular!! Thank you!

Wonderful trip! Definitely recommend! - Wonderful trip! Our guide, Isabel, was fabulous. The half day trip was timed perfectly. Lots of interesting facts and time to explore the gardens. The transportation there and back made it so convenient too. Would highly recommend. If you want to spend a LOT of time there, I’d suggest the longer tour.
