the guide took us back in time to Louis XIV, with lots of anecdotes to make us laugh and at the same time learn about our history, thanks to her. However, we didn't really enjoy the morning we wanted to spend in the gardens. However, the QR code we had didn't give us access to the gardens...we had to wait for the visit to the chateau to get the tickets for the gardens and the Trianons. It's a bad experience that I hope you'll improve for future buyers, as you don't mention it when buying tickets!

Was worried it was a scam but everything was easy & legit. Meeting place as described & guide easy to find. Entered easy & quick through the tour group entrance. Our guide Andre was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave clear directions to keep the group together. He allowed ample time for pictures and gave tips on when/where to take them. Overall a great tour with interesting info on the palace and France. Came to Paris in August 2025 without prebooking anything and was able to use headout for Versailles and Louvre. Would recommend.

We had an unforgettable experience during the guided tour of the Palace of Versailles, thanks in large part to our extraordinary guide, Boiana. She led us through the opulent royal bedchambers and enchanted us with captivating stories about the Sun King, Louis XIV. I trully recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover Versailles in a truly special way, through the eyes of a guide who clearly loves what she does. Thank you, Bo, for this unforgettable experience!

Myriam's speech. Her kindness. The only downside: no map provided by the organization to find the Grand Trianon... it wasted our time and energy! we were able to visit it by express train, knowing that we had to catch the last train back to Ile de France (no RER available).
