Versailles: Marie Antoinette's Secret Royal Retreat & Hamlet

Get to the meet up place early. The guide was enthusiastic. I would have liked more information on the plants.

Great small group tour to a hidden part of Versailles. Learn about marie antoinette and much more...

We enjoyed learning so much about Versailles! Our guide Claire was very informative and so interesting!

This tour has a lot of walking. Tour guide was a great young lady but I did not learn anything new not sure if it was her or there isn’t much to tell. Just FYI we had a behind the scenes private area tour in the morning (which I highly recommend) then this tour in the afternoon. Make sure you have garden access in your itinerary as the walk from the front to the back without it is miles! The ticket states this but my morning tour company stated we had garden access. This was not recognized by staff so the Versailles staff gave us a map out and around to the Queens gate which looks close on a map (not to scale) like doing a 5k. I state this because that combined with all the other walking is a lot 22000 steps that day! I have taken many Viator tours and this was my least favorite. (Maybe I was tired and maybe the tour guide was not seasoned enough yet). Viator was not in any way responsible for my experience so far I have had all great experiences with them

you can probably do this tour on your own w/the audio-guide - and go at your own pace - otherwise it was a very nice tour guide :)

We really enjoyed our afternoon tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Marie Antoinette, royal life, and had very interesting information to share. We weren't sure at first where to exactly meet our tour guide, but we got a follow up call from an agent and was able to find our guide at the correct meeting location. Thank you for the tour! We definitely recommend this Queen's Hamlet and Trianon afternoon tour to those who will be spending a whole day at Château de Versailles.

Our guide, Umberto, did a fantastic job. He is incredibly knowledgable, shares information in an engaging and interesting way, and keeps a steady, comfortable pace. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour because he as such a skillful guide.

Claire was a lovely tour guide with so much knowledge to share! This tour was the perfect blend of activity, information, and beautiful views.

Great experience and great tour guide. Ivan provided great information and was a wealth of knowledge. My wife and I would highly recommend and we don’t usually like group tours.

These jewels are not seen by so many visitors but should be. The grandeur of the chateau is amazing to see but a very different example of the extent the French aristocracy were prepared to go to in order to make themselves comfortable is to be seen on this tour. A chateau tour and this one in a single day is a big ask but it is well worth it. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining a d should be congratulated.
