Great private tour with Anna - We did a private tour of Versailles Royal Palace and gardens with golf cart, with Anna as our guide, and she was great! As you know, Versailles is a massive place but Anna showed us the key highlights of both the gardens and the palace, and kept things moving at a reasonable pace. She also made things all feel easy to follow.
I especially liked that she explained the history (Marie Antoinette, Louis XIV/XV/XVI, the French Revolution) in a way that was actually interesting and not overwhelming. All in all, she's super friendly and knowledgeable, so I would definitely recommend!

A great way to see the site! - This was a wonderful way to see Versailles! Grigor made us feel like VIPs as we toured the gardens and palace - no waiting in the lines, and he knew all the side doors and employees so he was able to get my elderly father around with the least amount of walking/steps. Learned a lot and Grigor made it fun for three generations of my family!

Eve Made Our Versailles Tour Unforgettable - Eve gave us an absolutely outstanding tour of Versailles! We began by exploring the beautiful gardens by golf cart, which was such a great way to take in the vast grounds, and then finished with a tour of the palace interior.
Eve was a wealth of knowledge—she shared so many fascinating stories and details that really brought the history to life. Her passion and expertise made the entire experience engaging and memorable.
I highly recommend Eve and her company to anyone visiting Versailles—you won’t be disappointed!

Versailles Palace - Laurent was very informative, and friendly tour guide. I felt like he really enjoyed telling the Versailles history. The garden tour was really nice going through on the golf cart. I would recommend going with Laurent if you can request him.

Louis was the best! - Louis was the best tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly and patient with the children, engaging with them and showing us the splendors of Versailles. The magnificent gardens are best seen by golf cart. Try to get a tour near the end of the afternoon. We were the last tour and the palace was empty.

Great time at Versailles! - Great experience and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the subject. It rained a bit but the upside was few other people making photos easy to take.
