Wonderful Day with Oliver

Had a fantastic visit to Versailles with Oliver as our guide. We were very lucky to be the only two people on the tour that day and the weather was perfect. Oliver was able to provide great historical background and answered many questions that we had. The lunch location was busy but the food was very good. Highly recommend this tour for the day and hopefully you will be lucky enough to get Oliver as your guide also.

Great tour

Very interesting tour: small group, good timing and logistics, very interesting tour with a lot of history in both castles. Lunch place can be better in food quality, but it was Ok for so small price. Thank you for the great rip!

Beautiful, but not enough time

Lovely building, amazing gardens, lunch spot was ok, guide was very friendly. There wasn't enough time to explore even half of the gardens, and it was much more walking than we expected. The Queen's Village part was a lovely surprise in spite of the trek - looked like Hobbiton.
