5A Very Worthwhile excursion
Our guide, Gustavo was very knowledgeable and interesting. The tour was a very worthwhile experience.
5Historical Versailles Private Tour
Gustavo was at our hotel a few minutes early, so we were already on our way by 2 pm. It was a great experience for our first visit to Versailles. Gustavo shared a lot of history about Versailles, including information about the royal families of France in relation to Versailles and history of Versailles itself - from the beginning to now. He pointed out the reservoir for the water that feeds the fountains and explained a little about how they work. After our tour of Versailles, we spent time in the gardens and were able to admire the fountains - which were running! We didn’t stay as long as we might have if it was warmer and not raining.
5A Highlight of Our Paris Trip – Outstanding Versailles Tour
Our guided tour of Versailles was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Gustavo was an exceptional guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history. He didn’t just recite facts; he brought the stories, people, and events of Versailles to life in a way that made the experience unforgettable. We walked away with a much deeper understanding of the palace, its history, and the lives that unfolded there. Gustavo’s storytelling made everything feel vivid and meaningful. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Versailles, and especially recommend Gustavo as your guide. An outstanding experience from start to finish.
5Viva La Versailles !
Our guide Gustavo was incredibly knowledgeable about Versailles and the political details surrounding the period it encompassed in history. He was engaging and helpful with our questions and speaks English well.He also recommended an excellent brasserie for dinner after the tour! Our car was a Mercedes black sprinter(?) van I think /very nice and comfortable. Lovely experience and we recommend highly.

About Versailles
Versailles, west of Paris, is the town built around the palace of Louis XIV, with its Hall of Mirrors and formal gardens.
The Palace of Versailles began as a hunting lodge of Louis XIII, and Louis XIV turned it into the seat of royal power, moving the court here in 1682. Its centrepiece is the Hall of Mirrors, seventy-three metres long, with seventeen mirrored arches facing the garden windows, where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in June 1919. The royal apartments, the Opera and the Chapel complete the palace.
