Reviews for Versailles Palace And Gardens Skip-the-line Tour From Paris
Perfect experience
Daniel_S
We wanted a 2-ish hour tour and this fit the bill well. Flore was a great guide! She was knowledgeable, personable and funny. Highly recommend!
Amazing all around!

I read reviews for months and months, I was so scared which your to book. When I say you can not go wrong with the tour guy! Our guide Anastasia was so sweet, knowledgeable! The round trip bus transportation was so convenient! We had more than enough time to tour the gardens almost 90mins, hit the gift shop and make it back to the bus. And yes the gardens tour WAS INCLUDED in the price. Inside the palace it was very very crowded, so just be prepared for that and have patience but if you go into it with that mindset it's going to be so very crowded and overstimulating you'll be fine. I could not recommend this tour enough. I can't wait to tell all my friends and family to go!
Impressive tour!

Incredible guide, amazing location!! Highly recommend!! My only complaint is that we received multiple messages before the trip saying our start time had been changed. It wasn’t. So we arrived way too early and had to wait. Otherwise it was excellent.
Great Value Tour of Versailles

Thank you so much to our guide, Wei, who made Versailles alive again and showed us the grandeur of the Sun King. We found the tour to be easy to follow and educational without being overweight with dates and facts. Overall a good tour for the money spent and time allowed at the palace. I wish we had time to visit the gardens longer, but now I have reason to return. The transfer from Paris was quick and easy and the meeting point easy to find. I would recommend for the budget traveler who is looking for a deeper experience than a big box tour.
Great Tour!
