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.

Palace of Versailles and Gardens Tour from Paris

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!!!

Our tour guide filled in as an emergency and you could tell she was flustered from rushing to meet us. She did an excellent job and I wouldn’t want to go to Versailles without a tour. Was very glad to do the option to explore the gardens on our own since it was a hot day.
Excellent tour

We booked at the last minute, so we were stuck with a late morning tour. Our guide Victoria was outstanding and very knowledgeable, and maneuvered us through the mobs the best she could. She also had practical tips for which restroom facilities to use and not to use!
Overall it was an outstanding experience.

Versailles is a must-see attraction, and to get the most of the visit, I recommend using The Tour Guy, because with out a tour guide, you won’t understand the back story of all of the rooms and artwork in the palace. Our tour guide was Dali, and she has a thorough knowledge of Versailles, and was very patient with all of our questions. We also had Dali for our tour of the Louvre, and again, she was invaluable to help us efficiently navigate through the various exhibits. We will definitely use The Tour Guide in the future.

Our family really enjoyed this tour. It was completely stress free meeting our guide in Paris and then travelling by metro to Versailles. Our entry into the palace was prompt and well organized. Our tour guide was incredible - she shared so much information and was funny and well informed. We loved the into to the gardens and that we had as much time there as possible to explore and enjoy before returning to Paris. An amazing tour and an absolutely amazing day!
Neb was fantastic!
