Traveler reviews
A day in the palace of Versailles!
I would highly recommend doing this tour as the history is really broken down in an accessible way and you are able to ask questions and gain better clarity of what the reality was at the time. Eric was fantastic and made the history very relatable as well.
Our tour guide was so...
Our tour guide was so insightful and friendly! He met us right on time and explained all the little details of Versailles even though the chateau was so busy when we went! He was flexible with our timing as well since we had to catch a train to London that evening. All in all it's worth it for a private guided tour plus transportation! He also got us in the chateau super fast which was amazing since it was freezing outside!
Amazing half day Palace of Versailles tour
Our guide was very informative about the Palace of Versailles and also gave us some helpful tips about what to see and do in Paris. Highly recommend this tour
Ricardo was excellent....
Ricardo was excellent. The perfect gentlemen and the perfect guide. So knowledgeable. He truly knows the history.
The Best Versailles Visit!
My wife and I arranged a private Versailles tour with Ricardo in August. He was invaluable in providing background information on the palace’s important sites prior to our arrival, and then steering us to them while further explaining their significance, etc. Had we visited without his guidance, our visit would have paled in comparison. Ricardo made our trip wildly successful.
