5Bucket List Visit!
Gustave was our guide for our bucket list visit. He arrived on time at our hotel and coordinated the timing of each part of the visit. Gustave was a wealth of information about Paris, Versailles and the Versailles grounds. He provided narrative, and in the Palace, he provided audio boxes so we could hear him well above the many people in the rooms. Gustave was also a pleasant guide overall. My wife and I recommend this tour.
2Too hot and didn’t know the way
The guide was nice and knowledgeable but the driver did not know where to go and couldn’t find his way out of the parking lot. The guide had to give instructions to the driver where to go. The first van had air conditioning but while we were at Versailles the van was changed for a new group and the second van did not have air conditioning for the passengers in the back and only air conditioning for the driver who was unapologetic about it when it was over 95 degrees outside and inside the van. Totally unacceptable
5Tour guide arrived on...
Tour guide arrived on time and picked us up at the hotel. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to get access and avoid the extremely long lines.
5Gustavo our guide was...
Gustavo our guide was exceptional. Learned a lot and connected the site seeing with history, art, and culture. Great experience!
4A very good itinerary to...
A very good itinerary to see Versailles without the lines or castle. Without a guide, I cannot fathom seeing and understanding Versailles. Our guide was not to the quality of other private guides. His English was ok, but with Russian accent, hard to understand.
5Wonderful tour
Enjoyed the pickup at the Hotel, driver was on time and the ride was enjoyable. There was a little bit of confusion after the drop off at Versailles with meeting the guide. The guide was knowledgeable and provided a very good experience on the tour of the grounds and palaces. Well worth the cost.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Versailles: Versailles Gardens (Jardins de Versailles), Hall of Mirrors (Galerie des Glaces), Grand Trianon.
