We recommend bringing a bottle of water with you, and maybe a snack too. We also recommend wearing a pair of comfortable shoes as there is quite a bit of walking involved, especially if you want to spend more time in the gardens.

We had had our tour guide, Carolina, for our private full day tour of Paris yesterday and we were thrilled to have Carolina as our guide for Versailles today! She was informative and quick to answer any questions and enquiries. Although pricier, we’re grateful that we did private tours of Paris and Versailles as the 4 of us were able to truly interact with our guide. Carolina was fantastic and it was wonderful to have her taking care of all of the ticketing for the metro and venues for us! She had information to share with us even on the metro ride to Versailles! Today was great! Anthony and group

Our guide Veronica was excellent. It was a private tour because my wife was in a wheelchair. My only complaint about Tour Guy management is that I discussed over the phone with your staff in the U.S. that she would be in a wheelchair, and the guides did not expect that. On all three of our tours. You failed to communicate.
Very Private Tour!

Fabian was our guide - my daughter and I were the only ones on the tour and it was such a treat to have a dedicated tour guide to walk us through Versailles. She narrated during the train trip out there and provided great insights throughout the building and grounds. She was great. Given the unrest in Paris during our visit - she also put us at ease and helped us get our bearings during our first day there. It was a bit pricey given the private tour aspect but worth it as it was the only day that worked in our schedule to visit Versailles.

Anatasia could not have been better. Fun personality with information we never would have known on our own. Much better than a large group too.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and her English was excellent. We would not have enjoyed the tour as much without her guidance. It was our first morning overseas and she made the day hassle free and easy for us to see a lot. Tres bien!

I have been on two private tours with Fabienne: Louvre and Versailles. On each tour I was impressed with her incredible ability to convey history with enthusiasm and humor. I had a sense of education and intellect in her response to questions. Moreover, she demonstrated patience and a benevolent demeanor. I visit Paris occasionally and have never been on a tour, but will definitely be seeking her assistance in the future for she has instilled a comprehensive understanding of new, as well as familiar, information. The tours with Fabienne are educations, bar none.

What a great experience we had with Catherine! She accompanied us on the metro from Paris and led us through the many rooms of the palace while narrating its history and sharing stories of the kings and queens who lived there. The place was very crowded but she patiently waited for areas with maximum visibility to clear while providing great details of all we saw. I would highly recommend her as a guide!
Excellent trip and guide

The private tour guide was definitely worthwhile. "So-So" (nickname), our guide, was incredible.
Def. worth the money

Our tour guide was punctual and full of cool facts. From the beginning to the end, we kept saying wow over and over again. We paid a bit more for the private service and highly recommend it, since the guide gave us extra attention.
Fabulous Versailles tour!

Veronique was our guide and she was fabulous! She was so knowledgeable and friendly. She knew so much about the history of the palace and of France in general. She was very organized and on time. I highly recommend.

My wife and I have been to Paris several times before but never to Versailles. So this time we took a private tour. Loved our tour guide. It's a 30 minute train ride from the station in Paris, so we had time to chat about life in Paris in general. Wonderful tour.
