It was a lovely spring day and our tour guide Demety was excellent. His knowledge of french history was impressive. The entry took 30 minutes and the crowds were epic on a Thursday in March.

What a wonderful, smooth, educational and entertaining tour. Walking past the long line of people with regular tickets was worth it, alone. However, Catherine, our guide, made the tour memorable. Her approach of navigating the crowds and intertwining history with humor was terrific (ask her about Laduree!) Highly, highly recommended.

What a great time we had our tour guide was awesome

What a great time we had our tour guide was awesome Anastasia was there early at the metro and checked us in. We got out to versailles and she had everything ready for us. We got mics to hear her and all the our tickets. We skipped all the lines and had a super fun time. Your are on your own once she finishes the main tour and can stay as long as you wish. It’s super easy to find the train back. It only goes one way back so just hope on and relax. I would do this tour again. Americans be early we tend to be late. In Europe things run on time here.

Educational and fun tour with Anastasia

Despite the fact I have been to Versailles many times, I signed up for this tour because the friend I was with had never been to Versailles and I did not want the responsibility of guiding her. The tour was a pleasure. Anastasia guided us through Versailles more efficiently than I could have done , all while telling interesting stories and pointing out features. It was also very nice to skip most of the lines and to be led to the very hard to find bathrooms at the beginning and end of the tour! All in all an excellent experience.

We were staying in Versailles and I happened to find this tour which left from Versailles so it was perfect. The guide met us at the meeting point and had brought a few people from Paris. Our group was still small and we loved the tour!
