Skip-the-Line Palace of Versailles and Gardens Tour from Paris

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning tour at Versailles. Veronique, our tour guide, was fun and engaging. She arrived at the (easy to find) meeting place on time, and shepherded us expertly through the crowds to Versailles. She gave us tons of extra background, and made the experience incredibly special for our 10-year old. At the end of the tour, Veronique escorted us out to the gardens, gave us her recommendations for lunch, viewing the fountains (our tour was on a Sunday, so the fountains were in operation), and where/how to explore further if we wished. We ended up spending the rest of the day in the gardens, following her recommendations, and it was lovely. We would book again in a heartbeat!

Our guide was fantastic. What a great way to spend the morning too. Super knowledgeable, and very much worth the investment. By the time we arrived, the line was very long for normal folks. And when our tour was done, the line was out past the gate. This saved us sooo much time. And we cranked walking through the rooms. This is the way to see Versailles and this is the tour group to take you. The train ride home though...we waited an hour for that train to leave the station. So enjoy the village, do your bathroom break before you get on the train, and bring some entertainment for that painful train wait.

To say that Versailles is an amazing place is a severe understatement, but central to that rich experience for me was having Ferit as our guide. He has a ferocious sense of humor; he is patient, yet he keeps things moving at a good pace, and his passion for the artifacts and the history cannot be denied. History definitely came alive for me as I toured the splendid halls and gardens of Versailles that day.
