Informative and thorough - This tour is a full day. It started with the palace. Leticia shared so much history and great anecdotes about the royals. Then we went to the gardens. Our guide was thoughtful about finding shade since it was a very hot day. We also visited Tressons and Queen's hamlet. She planned breaks and was thoughtful and courteous with questions. There is a lot of walking.

We had a lovely time with... - We had a lovely time with Laeticia! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Of course, this is the longer walking tour, so do be prepared for that—more or less 5mi. I wouldn’t recommend this to be the last day of your trip, closer to the first, if you can. We had a good amount of time for our breaks and were able to enjoy each stop along the way. What can be said about the palatial grounds?! Absolutely incredible and well worth the experience.

Awesome tour with Gabriella - We had the absolute pleasure of touring Versailles with Gabriella, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Gabriella is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, funny, and professional. She brought the history of Versailles to life with captivating stories about the kings who lived there, fascinating secrets about Marie Antoinette, and so many hidden details we would’ve missed on our own. Gabriella went above and beyond—sharing historical drawings, letters, and even photos of Marie Antoinette’s dresses to help us better understand the time period. She also corrected some common misconceptions with grace and insight. Her deep knowledge extended to every part of the tour, from the palace and gardens to the Trianon and even the furniture. When a surprise rainstorm hit, Gabriella kindly lent us her umbrella—just one example of how thoughtful she is. We truly had an unforgettable day thanks to her, and I would recommend her to anyone visiting Versailles. Thank you, Gabriella!
