Palace of Versailles and Gardens Tour from Paris

Book this tour and enjoy your day!

The Tour Guy took care of it all. Other than showing up at the designated spot in Paris, everything else was taken care of - train tickets to and from Versailles, entry tickets to the palace without waiting in line, a very in-depth and enjoyable guided tour. It took any guess work out planning all of the components for a day excursions o Versailles. Dimitri was absolutely lovely - he knew so much about the palace itself as well as French history, and could answer any question from the group. Versailles is an overwhelming venue, but our wonderful guide did a superb job in encapsulating the essence of everything and gave context and understanding to it all - the architecture, the era, the French Revolution, the dynasty, and many other details, back stories and interesting facts. I will absolutely book tours with The Tour Guy in the future wherever they offer them!!

Excellent

Even though inside the Palace of Versailles was very crowded and felt like sardines pressed against each other the guide did well in keeping us all together. The highlight was the gardens our ticket was for self guided tour it worked out just fine.

Tour was great . The only unfortunate thing was too many people. Tour group was fine and Versailles was spectacular!!

Saturday is crazy.

There's crowds. Be prepared. I've been to Versailles 4 times and this was the most crowded. This was Saturday afternoon, and every other time I've gone in the morning weekday. Victoria did a great job! The little earpiece they give you makes it easy to hear. Excellent job - would book again, but maybe not Saturday afternoon.

Perfect Amount of Time

I debated whether to book half day or all day and the half day worked out perfect. Our tour guide’s name was Wei and he was great and very informative. He made us laugh too. After the guided tour portion we were given tickets to the garden to do on our own time. We rented a golf cart which provided audio information about the gardens. We grabbed wine and some sandwiches from the shop and found a spot for the perfect picnic. I highly recommend this combo. We had the best time!

Started late but a nice tour

We arrived at the meeting point to find that the large group had been split into two. It appears that our guide was late in arriving and so we missed the train and we ran about 1/2 hour late. Since Versailles gets very crowded, the earlier start would have been better. The tour is well run and the radio units work well. Versailles is jammed with people so be aware. We were give a Navigo pass with the RER ride back to Paris and we just stayed on to get to our next attraction.

Great Tour & Guide!

We loved our tour guide - she was great at keeping the group together (and really moved us along through the tour!), she was helpful and informative. The headsets made it easy to find her and hear what she was talking about. It was really nice to just arrive at the train station in Paris and not have to think about where we were going from there since it was our first time navigating the train and going to Versaille. Skipping the line was awesome and the group was a total of about 13 - not too big at all, which was great. Highly recommend!

Terrific

Our tour of Versailles was very good. The information provided, supplied us with knowledge that was well outside of the common place information that most people already know. Our guide, Veronika was pleasant and informative. She was very cognizant of a couple members of our group that required more time and help. The only drawback to the tour, which was no fault of “The Tour Guy” directly was that the wait at the entrance was a full 30 minutes after we were supposed to enter.
