Tour of Versailles

Wonderful interior and exterior tour.
Michael_B
, Nov 2021
The tour of the interior with Laura was superb, excellent communication and very well-informed/informative, both on the history of the buildings and the events associated with it. We also very much enjoyed the grounds and the superb trees, both ancient and solitary (Oak from 1668) and the planned and manicured avenues.

Not able to join

We have not been able to join the tour, as it was unclear where to get the tickets (we expected to get them at the palace, however that was not the case and after triple checking we saw we had to get them at another location. I was not able to get to the other location with two kids and no transport). Given the limited time we had, we bought new tickets and went in ourselves. Unfortunately it is non refundable so we waisted 88 euros.
Fantastic tour guide Sophie Anne was amazing

Sophie Anne was amazing. She was so informative we were really able to visualize the whole era. The tour was 10 out of ten highly recommended and no queuing
Loved the historical...

Loved the historical details included in the tour! Stunning views and beautiful weather the day we visited in the middle of October. It wasn’t necessary to skip the line, as there was actually no line when we arrived later on the afternoon in the autumn, but it was well worth it for the quality of the tour!
Versailles is a must!

We really enjoyed this tour of Versailles. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable of the palace and its history. We loved the tour and highly recommend! Definitely stick around after the tour and explore the gardens. Grab a sandwich and take it all in.

Guide was passionate and did a remarkable job sharing the history and bringing things to life. The palace is more extravagant than you could imagine. And the garden alone could be a 1-2 day tour.
She brought Versailles to life.

Gabrielle our guide was great. Informative, cheerful, relaxed and friendly. She brought Versailles to life. At our meeting point ignore the blue sign for Get your guide outside the small shopping centre they have their office in, and go inside near the cafe Madeline. Note, this ticket doesn’t always include entry to gardens. We had to pay extra as there was a sound and fountains display on.
Absolutely worth it!!!

Wow!! This is absolutely worth it!! Our guide Laura was amazing!! She was so knowledgeable and gave such great background information and context!!! I really enjoyed every aspect of the experience and would recommend this tour to everyone!!! The best part is that after the tour, you can still stay at the chateau and explore more if you’d like, which is really nice!!! Laura was happy to answer every question I had and was really friendly!!!
