Laura was a great guide, very knowledgeable and gave such a great insight into the palace and the art/features. Our experience at Versaille would not have been as amazing without this tour. It was also great having skip the line access right into the palace.

Martha was a great guide who helped us understand the rich history of Versailles and shared night anecdotes about the personalities who lived there. recommend going in with a guide who can help make sense of such a vast place. also beats queueing with everyone else.

Versailles is breathtaking. Our guide did a good job with telling interesting stories. I do wish we could have spent a little less time with stories and more time seeing more things- like the gallery of battles and the royal opera (which is only open to groups). The museum staff is unhelpful so it was hard for us to find other things after the tour. But beautiful estate.
