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.
We recommend bringing a bottle of water with you. 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 met our tour guides at the point agreed upon and were given colored stickers. After our group left the train station we were left behind at the entrance of Versailles and separated from the other people in our group and told to wait for yet another group. We were singled out for some reason and had to wait in the cold wind and drizzle while the others entered the palace. Very unhappy with this tour operator. The tour guide we ultimately were given was very knowledgeable and he apologized profusely about what happened even though it wasn’t his fault.

Aida was very friendly, joyful and a down to earth tour guide. In spite of the large crowds, she managed to get us into the palace very quickly and maneuver our 20 person group through the masses while explaining the historical events.

Great thing about this tour is that they meet you in Paris, guide you to and through Versailles Palace, then you are free to spend as much time as you want seeing more of the palace, the gardens, Trianon, Petite Trianon, and the Queen’s Hamlet. Then your return train to Paris is included.

Our tour of Versailles was well worth the money. Melanie was very knowledgeable and expertly led us through the palace. She provided very clear instructions on taking the train, getting to the gardens, etc. In addition the audio headset was great - we could hear her at all times.

Among all the tours we purchased in France and Italy, this was the one we were particularly looking forward to. However, it turned out to be the greatest disappointment of our vacation. In short, we provided documentation to the taxi driver, but he could only get us to a general area. Fortunately, I was able to locate police to get to the specified location. Upon arrival we were informed the touring group had boarded the train and it was gone. Unable to reach the tour guide or the office we decided to buy additional train tickets to catch up with the tour guide at the next meeting point. We placed calls and e-mailed leaving messages to no avail. We felt hopeful if we got to the entry point where tickets were required, we could perhaps meet the guide or at the very least receive a return call from the office by then. We were unable to locate the group and did not receive any calls. Having decided to rebuy tickets to tour the Palace we were informed, the Palace tour was sold out. What a bitter disappointment!! Hence, we were able to buy tickets to take the garden tour on our own. Upon completing the tour with the weight of malice we finally received a return call from the office stating they would reach the tour guide to provide our tickets for the palace. After 30 minutes of waiting, no other communications, and the original tour being over we decided to leave. I am gravely disappointed, and at a minimum felt the palace tickets could have been e-mailed to us as the place did not close until 6 pm. We would like a complete refund!!!
