Versailles was exceptional
Sarah_D, October 2026
We absolutely adored our trip to Versailles. Our tour guide, Olivia, was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. After some other tours I really appreciate how she encouraged us to stay together as well (it keeps politeness in the crowds). Loved our free time after the tour as well
★★★★★Viator review
Excellent tour guide
Janet_O, October 2026
The toilets are scarce and the queue is long - either don't drink before hand or empty your bladder before starting the tour! Otherwise our guide Flor was excellent and I loved the stories she told this creates an atmosphere when viewing the rooms. Highly recommended.
