Doing what: Versailles Independent Day Trip from Paris

The trip from obtaining the tickets at the booking office to returning from Versailles was very professional. The staff were very friendly and cooperative. All of the instructions given by the tour guide were clear and courteous . As for the palace and gardens, they were beautiful. I think that the time that we went on this trip was quite relaxing, but if you did this tour in June to September then it would be very crowded.

The tour was excellent. Sylvan our guide was very friendly and knew his subject well. He spent time with each area and fully explained the history for us. It would have been nice to have him share lunch with us. We had just arrived in France and Sylvan gave us a first hand view of how friendly and helpful the French can be. I would recommend ViaTor to friends in the future. Please thank Sylvan for us.

Fantastic day at Versailles that was made even more special by our tour guide Sophia who was knowledgable, organised and very competent and passionate about everything French. Wonderful day despite the chilly weather, highly recommended.

Absolutelyb beautiful. My advice to guides is to keep the tour moving. A little repetitive but the palace ace up for it. Like nothing I have ever seen

Sent my elderly parents on this tour as we had done it before and loved it. They couldn't stop raving about it.

my wife and I really enjoyed the vast beauty and history of Versailles. Our tour guide Chris was very nice and very knowledgeable on the history. We would go again, thanks.

Sabine was a wonderful guide. The day was absolutely worth every penny. The full day tour gave me a real sense of the whole of the Versailles palaces- and the lunch in the old stables was to die for! Met some lovely people there too. Truly felt I was walking in the ghostly steps of Marie Antoinette! A must do if you are visiting Paris.

Our guide was Sophie. She was personable and well informed. She highlighted the important sights in the palace, and gave us a picture of the historical background of Versailles, both before and after Louis XIV. Our full day trip included lunch, which we enjoyed in an attractive restaurant on the palace grounds.

the driver was late but he was good .

overall we had a great time

The guide and the skip the line feature make this a recommended way to see Versailles.

Why in the world would we spend so much money for such a tour? We concluded that we were only going to Versailles once and we wanted to see as much as possible. Two things were working against us on the day we chose: there was a morning strike in the Palace; and it was periodically raining. It turned out that neither got in the way too much. Once we got into the building, our guide was so excellent that we forgot the delays. The public rooms were so crowded that we appreciated even more the private rooms not open to the public. We had time to see and experience those spaces. We could actually hear our guide and didn't have others stepping into our pictures and pushing us on. After other European palaces including Russian ones, Versailles seemed small. None of the smaller palaces on the grounds were open that day. Due to the weather we 'ran' through the gardens between raindrops (which were disappointing this early in the season) rather than taking a gracious stroll. We did have a wonderful quick lunch at the fine restaurant in the Palace. It was had to find, but worth the look...the pastries were a feast for the eye!

Doing what: Versailles Guided Tour with Optional Fountain Show

Our tour guide knew everything about the history and artwork. She was awesome! 4 stars only because it was so crowded that it felt like we didn't have enough time at the end to explore the gardens on our own. Skip the line was a def plus! 1000 people in line! Evidently spring break for europe and Asia!
