What people say about us
versailles - VIP Palace of Versailles Tour
The trip was fantastic. I have a 10 and 11 year old and they weren’t bored, nor complained the entire time. The company picks you up and takes you to the Palace. The company guide takes you for a quick breakfast (coffee, juice, pastries) at the Palace restaurant, gives you maps, shows you where to meet her at the end of the tour and drops you off with an official tour guide of the Palace. The Palace tour guide is phenomenal and takes you past the public parts. She had her college degree in Art and had to pass a course/certification with the Palace to be a guide. You get about 4 hours to tour the grounds and have lunch. It really wasn’t enough time since the gardens are so vast and amazing. Be sure to go visit the horse stables and carriages. For our first visit and to learn how everything works, plus behind the scenes, this was worth the money.

It is the pleasure of my family to have a small group with our guide, Olivia, to walk through the Chateau Versailles. It is a five-star experience. Thank you Olivia.

Versailles - Terrific guided tour of Versailles
Nick greeted us and 3 others in warm & friendly manner. He and the driver did a great job getting us to Versailles quickly and safely. Nick added so much to what we were seeing as we waked from one space to another. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything he explained to us. He offered to take photos of us and the other family, which was much appreciated! After we returned, Nick even helped us hail a cab for us to return to our hotel! Great job, Nick!

Versailles - A personal account on the palace at Versailles tour
From having little in-depth knowledge about the cultural impact and historical significance about the Chateau at Versailles, our tour Olivia not only explained the dramatic tails of the extraordinary palace, but did so in such a way the entire experience - from arriving at the palace to walking through its many royal rooms to having all my questions answered… clearly, this is the company, and Olivia is the tour guide you want should you ever wish to explore the magnificent property.
