Awesome - Lucille was awesome! She picked us up at our hotel and took us to Versailles. Got us through security and took us on a tour of the palace. She gave a history lesson with just the right amount of detail. Versailles was amazing! Gardens were beautiful. She gave us the option of being dropped off someplace else which was appreciated. She dropped us off at the Eiffel Tower which was next on our site seeing list.

Great tour with a great guide. You will not be disappointed. - Chris is an amazing tour guide. He is personal, knowledge, and has a great sense of humor.
He was waiting outside when we exited the hotel, and whisked us straight away to Versailles.
He guided us through the immense palace and grounds, highlighting historical and interesting facts and anecdotes.
His knowledge of the place and its history is commendable. It was heartening to see how many of the staff would stop and say hello to him.
Overall a wonderful afternoon out. We saw and learned so much.
Thank you Chris!

Absolutely do it! - We had not originally planned to visit Versailles this trip. But friends strongly recommended it. We booked this tour, not sure what to expect. But our guide was incredible! She had a ton of knowledge, helped tie together the themes of multiple generations of the monarchy and kept our kids engaged during the entire tour (which isn’t an easy feat!).

This was a great tour... - This was a great tour with Hugh. Comfortable private transportation out to the palace, with information provided along the way. Tour was excellent, and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Great experience, despite crowds, in part due to our guide helping us navigate the rooms to get the best views/experiences. Will certainly be back to spend time in the gardens. Our guide was also very flexible, and was able to drop us off at a different location and give us some tips on what else to see that day.

Half of our party had been before but she pointed out so many things we had not previously seen and gave us wonderful historical information. She was early to pick us up and dropped ours off right in front of our building at the end of our tour. One of best tour guides we have ever had.

An Excellent Way to See Versailles - While Versailles Palace has to be one of the more touristy destinations around Paris, this private tour tended to minimize that feel. Our guide, Zara, could not have been better. She met us in our hotel lobby right on time and filled every moment of our time with her with historical and practical information that would have taken us considerably longer to unearth on our own - and likely lots of tidbits that we would have missed. Another benefit of this tour was the drive from central Paris to Versailles and back, during which time Zara educated us on everything we were passing and seeing along the way. Her knowledge of the entire area and Versailles Palace itself was exceptional and we'd recommend her highly.

A whirlwind through French history from Louis XIV- XVI - Fantastic guidance through Versailles. A couple of my group are huge European history buffs and our guide Rami was up to the task, answering all our questions and quizzing us back. He could simplify the history component for those less knowledgeable . It was a smooth ride back and forth to the hotel as well

Good, but too expensive for what we got in return - Good tour, but looking back at the tour outcome, we felt it was way too expensive for what we got in return.
Our guide, Pablo, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the audio devices provided sure helped ease the tour since the palace was incredibly crowded and noisy. However, we do not consider the overall tour price to fairly match the experience, since the only significant difference with similar tours was skipping the line and a customized hotel pickup.
