Wonderful tour! Anneli and her driver picked us up at our hotel. Made us feel comfortable and welcome immediately. She paced the tour to our needs and abilities; just what we had hoped for. Thank you for giving us a great overview of the beauty and majesty of Versailles

Starting from the private car ride to Versailles, to navigating the crowds, and hitting all the highlights… we learned so much in an enjoyable way with Louis. He is an outstanding guide and we valued him so much we even booked an additional Louvre visit with him! Thank you for a great experience!

Did a private half day tour with Paris to Versailles company. It included pick up at the hotel in a Mercedes, guide the full time and drop off at the hotel after the visit. The guide, Luigi, was outstanding - very knowledge about the history of Versailles and regaled my wife and I with stories about the place. Would highly recommend him as well as the company.

We booked the half day private Versailles tour and it did not disappoint. We met our guide outside the gates and proceeded to the gardens as our entry time was a bit later. Our guide "Mattew", was very informative and continued to adapt our tour to our needs. We had a lengthy visit out side in the gardens and then proceeded in to the tour of Versailles. The tour satisfied all our questions and needs, would recommend!!

We had a lovely morning with Monty at Versailles. He was prompt and delightful. It was great being able to go through the much shorter guide-only line instead of waiting in the huge general entrance line. He has an immense amount of knowledge and he was able to show us the highlights in an efficient manner. I had my 12 year old daughter in tow, so 3 hrs was just the right amount of time to hold her interest.

Perfect amount of time and balance between the palace and gardens. Wonderful car service with a tremendous guide who explained the history on our ride.

We had an amazing day touring the Palace of Versailles, and were truly blessed to have Monty as our guide. Monty had a passion for history and provided us with in depth detail regarding the history of the palace and its inhabitants (King Louis, Marie Antoinette) We also had a private driver that transported us back and forth from Paris. Highly recommend!

Versailles would be overwhelming without a good tour guide. Leah was very informative and helped us understand this historic place. We especially appreciated seeing where Benjamin Franklin came to solicit the French for support in the American revolution. Pickup was exactly on time and she called to let us know. A+
