Reviews for Versailles Palace And Gardens Tour By Train From Paris With Skip-the-line
Versailles , more than the hype.
Phil B
Right from the start everything worked like clockwork. The meeting at the cafe was a very logical spot, along with many others on the tour we enjoyed breakfast. Having arrived early enough to enjoy the well appointed cafe. From there on everything flowed with our initial guide greeting and informing us about the adventure ahead. Sadly, only people from the USA needed to be told more than twice. The train journey led us to the grand forecourt of Versailles. Here we meet our Palace tour guides, being broken up into smaller groups , and equipped with bluetooth ear pieces ,we proceeded into the Palace. (Skip the que Sir) Our Guide “Humberto” was fantastic. Informative, personable, and always in view. It gets very busy inside the palace , there are dozens of tour groups doing exactly what you are doing. No matter, Humberto was always on the ball. Very experienced and informative knowing how to manage these situations, we missed nothing. He really knew his stuff and deserved his tip. (As Australians we generally do not tip, unless the service is well above average or better. Well done Humberto! ) I can only recommend this tour based on our experience with the guide we had. However, the luck of the draw should still deliver a great day out. The guided tour finishes in the gardens where you are issued your all lines train ticket to return home. You can then stay as long as you please to enjoy the whole experience over again . As usual you exit via the souvenir shop, There are some tempting items. We are very pleased we booked this tour via TripAdvisor . It was one of four we pre -booked for our short stay in Paris . Highly recommend.

Berrick and Caroline were both amazing. I was concerned taking the train (we walked everywhere or took ubers for our entire trip) but Berrick made the entire process extremely smooth. We felt very comfortable in his hands as he guided our group to the train station, in the train and walking to the palace. Caroline was also an amazing tour guide. Her knowledge of the palace is outstanding and she knew how to navigate around the crowds so our group was not stuck with the mobs. She answered many questions and was very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this tour and it was well worth the money spent.
Beautiful way to experience the Versailles💕

This is why we book tour through TripAdvisor. This tour, we had 2 guides. One to guide us to Versailles and the other one to guide at the Versailles. Berek who guide us to Versailles was so helpful beyond and Olivier who guide at Versailles was so delightful and fun. Highly recommended!
