Your tour will begin at Pont de l'Alma metro station, located at Cafe Pierre Herme, Pl. de la Résistance, 75007 Paris. A representative will be there holding a sign with our company name on it. Your tour will end at the entry of the Versailles Gardens.

Versailles is amazing and our guide, Flor, was as well. We learned interesting and fun facts in a small group. Travel by train was far better than bus. We highly recommend this tour.
Great half day in Versaille!

We took the half day tour and it was great! The tour guide Aida, was knowledgeable and very helpful. Besides the tour, she was helpful with instructions for places to eat and other information that made it easy to get around on our own after the tour ended.
Excellent way to navigate Versailles

We spent a really wonderful day touring Versailles with Martin. The transport was easy and our entrance was fairly quick once we got there. Several people broke off from the group to explore on their own, but I felt we both got an excellent chance to learn and then navigated getting to the gardens easily with Martin’s help. It’s a busy place so being with a guide made it much easier. Would highly recommend this tour and Martin as a guide. Thank you!!
Fantastic tour fantastic guide

Martin was very knowledgeable, engaging and was really helpful in his explanations in navigation of transport and the attraction especially for those who may not know. The fifteen year old in our group learned a lot and highly recommends.

We really enjoyed our tour of Versailles today. So organized from the meeting spot, the train ride, and free time to enjoy the gardens. We really enjoy hearing the history of the French Revolution. Amélie shared so much interesting information, we are glad we took the tour!

First of all I want to say the gardens were the highlight of the trip for my wife and I. Never seen anything quite like them at this scale. Every time we turned a corner we seemed to find a new fountain or sculpture. Take your time and go through the side avenues. The tour through the castle itself was worth it for us just for the historical information we received as we went through each of the opulent rooms. They provided a Navigo card for our return trip to Paris so you can stay at Versailles until it closes and stay even longer for a dinner reservation. All in all a good Roman Guy tour. We’ve been on around 10 now. All have been excellent.
