Great tour with great guide! - Easy bus trip to and from Versailles, and a great tour while there! We were there on a very rainy day, so we didn't see much of the gardens (our choice - it was early March anyway!). Our guide Maxi was outstanding! He gave us such great information and knew how to position us in the rooms to be able to see everything while listening to him.

Just stunning - We visited the Palace of Versailles and absolutely loved this tour! Super well organised and our guide made the history really fun and easy to follow. Being able to meet in Paris and be taken by coach was so convenient. The Hall of Mirrors is impressive and was definitely the highlight of our tour, and the gardens were just beautiful.

Fantastic Tour - I contemplated with my family to navigate our own way from Paris to Versailles but then decided to go for a tour and it was a great decision. Really helpful to have the bus drop us right at the palace and then to not have to queue with our prepaid tickets as well. Versailles is a must for all those who visit Paris and make sure you spend time strolling around the gardens. What a treat.

Good day at the palace - Tour was very good and you should not do the trip without a tour due to crazy long lines! Thankfully we got right to the front and into the palace without any wait. The only reason I’m giving a 4 is that we had a very long wait to get out of the city due to traffic. Due to this delay we only had about a 1/2 hour to explore the gardens before we had to get back to the bus.

Time Is Of The Essence - The guided tour of Versailles was overall a great experience, especially thanks to the knowledgeable and engaging guide who made the history come alive. The palace itself is, of course, breathtaking and well worth the visit. However, there were a couple of logistical drawbacks. The meeting point being located in the 17th arrondissement was quite inconvenient, as it’s far from where most tourists typically stay, adding extra travel time and effort. Additionally, the tour schedule felt a bit rushed—there wasn’t enough time to fully enjoy or explore the gardens, which are just as stunning as the palace. With a bit more time allocated and a more central meeting point, the experience would be even better
