  Such a memorable day exploring the Palace and gardens with Gilles! You cannot know French history without diving into Louis XIV, and this passion project of his gives you a lot of context for his reign- the longest of any monarch in the world. Our friendly and informative guide picked us up in Paris at our hotel with a spacious and comfortable van and stayed with us the entire day (except lunch), returning us back to our hotel. The tour of the palace and walking of the grounds was well-paced, with just enough information and fascinating facts to enhance the experience that is already visually jaw-dropping. It is a LOT of walking, so comfy shoes are essential. The guide will also adjust to your pace and desires for breaks, a lunch of your chosen length, etc. Gilles is warm, laid back (which is really refreshing in the busy crowd of the palace), and highly knowledgeable - we would definitely recommend him and this amazing tour of a truly decadent French icon!

• Amazing experience to spend entire day in Versailles

  The tour was amazing. Ange was our tour guide and he was so patient, accommodated and knowledgeable about the place. We have generous amount of time to explore part of the garden, enjoy the water show before heading to the palace. Since most of our group members are 40+, one is 80+ years old, we truly enjoy the experience and will definitely recommend this to other

• Easy & Enjoyable

  Nice to have a private tour guide - he knew tips & tricks for the best viewing/timing of different areas. Hotel pickup & drop off made the day easy & stress free. Nice to have a private group!

  It was a pretty good day although it could have been better. First, Gilles was very nice and a very good tour guide. My husband and I enjoy hearing about Versailles and learned a lot. Our granddaughter was bored and he didn’t engage with her too much on the elements of the tour, although he was very nice to her. The organization of the trip, however, could be better. We were picked up at 8:00 but had an 11:40 entry into the chateau. Even with the walking in the gardens we had some time to kill that we could have used at the end. It also meant retracing our steps since we couldn’t do the chateau and then the gardens and then over to the 2 other palaces. My husband is 71 and it was really too much walking for him - 6 miles by the count of my Apple Watch. If that was the only time the tour operator could get it would have been better to book a later start time and return later. The other thing I would strongly recommend is that you do not go to the fancy restaurant (Ore?). It was a huge rip off and took a lot of time away from the tour. It was my fault - Gilles showed me the menu but I just saw a sandwich that I knew my granddaughter would eat and didn’t even look at the rest. There is no way to get a single course meal there, it is crazy expensive for what you get, and it takes a very long time. Had that been pointed out I definitely would have chosen something else. It meant we had to rush through the Grand Trianon and the Queen’s Hamlet and even rushing we were 30 minutes late to get back to the driver. It was a combination of having late entry tickets and the long lunch. I also wished I knew how much we were missing coming this time of year. Not only were the fountains not operating but most of the statues outside were covered. There were also areas in the palace that we didn’t have tickets for. I guess I thought that for so much money that we had access to everything. And at the end of the long day the tour operator decided to save some money and hire a small car rather than the minivan we were promised. We did not receive a refund for the difference in cost.
