This all day tour was the highlight of our trip to Paris! Our travel guide was excellent, very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us an insider's view of the Palace, and the grounds of the Marie Antoinette estate. My teen daughter and son both agreed this was their favorite part, seeing the grounds and the little village of Marie Antoinette. The lunch that was set up for us was excellent. The entire day from start to finish was exactly what we hoped for. Great value for the money!

We had the most wonderful day at Versailles with our Amazing guide Zara. So glad we chose the small group (only 6 in our tour group) all day with lunch tour. Everything from the very informative guide Zara to the Amazing Palaces and Stunning Gardens with a very lovely lunch near the boathouse was PERFECT! Highly recommend this small group all day tour with lunch. Our guide Zara was amazing and with her very informative and clear skills we really got the best out of this tour. Well worth choosing this tour option. We always use GYG and have always been so so impressed.

Beautiful tour

The tour of Versailles was awesome. The inclusion of the small palace & village is a must. The included meal was underwhelming. The tour guide was personable & knowledgeable. The biggest negative was the guide forgot to give us the tickets for the gardens. Fortunately we found most of our group. I called get your guide but only got a recording in French. Another in our group called viator & got an English speaking person. They located the colleague to our guide who gave us garden access tickets. The negative was this delay ate up our time in the garden. When we reconnected with our guide at the meal her solution to more garden time was to skip our meal. She wasn’t very apologetic for her blunder. Overall it was a good day trip. Seeing Versailles is a must when in France.
