Great
The meeting point was easy and the greeter was very nice. The guide was very good. The length of the tour inside the building was not very long (90 minutes) but was almost long enough. However you could go back inside if you wanted, but with the crowd it didn't make much sense. The garden tour was good and the gardens are lovely. At first I thought that the price was a little high, but when I considered the cost of the train rides both ways, and the entry fees for the palace and the gardens and the private tour it actually was reasonable. I would recommend this tour.

Great tour and easy transfer by train. Be prepared for some walking as the estate is massive. Not too many stairs, but some cobblestone areas.
Tour was very informative and all the rooms were well preserved.

Exceptional day with Amad’s insight & history of Versailles. Made my day learning history of my Red bottom shoes, Louboutin and King Louis XIV!

The garden was lush and beautiful and lush, even in early October. There were many floors blooming, Our guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant to interact with. He was a very good driver. We learned a lot from him about the history of Giverny, Monet, Monet’s family, and the foundation that runs Monet’s house and garden.

Great experience, tour was wonderful and Nacy was first rate and a pleasure to have as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and led the group at a proper pace.

Excellent tour given by a knowledgeable guide. Small group was ideal to be able to keep up and dialog about what we were seeing.
Our tour guide, Vincent., explained French government history from beginning to current. This really enlightened all of us and corrected so many falsehoods that we all had prior to our tour. Vincent was truly the best part of our tour.

Jonnydoesn’t fantastic job on the tour. He seems to have an infinite number of fax relative to the palace of Versailles and everything surrounding it. I can’t imagine any guy having a better command of the material and he presents it in a fun way. The tour itself and the palace is extraordinary and something you’ll likely not forget. I highly recommend Jonny
