Versailles Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We loved this tour. The guide, Aisha, was so kind and well-informed and made the experience special and interesting. The idea of using golf carts and shuttle made it possible for my husband who has some mobility challenges to enjoy himself as much as we all did. Bravo

Eric was a fantastic tour guide!! Biking through town, around the palace grounds and exploring Marie Antoinette’s hamlet was magical. Highly recommend! Great pace for the half day tour. Very easy logistics. Would do this again!

It’s a real bike tour. Some hills. Bring water. You can ask for an e. Bike if you need it. Travel light.

What an amazing experience to bike through the Versailles park. It was beautiful, refreshing and very educational

Great tour. Guide was excellent, very informative. Golf cart took our small group across the spacious gardens and a tram took us to the hamlets. Skip the line tickets allowed us to enter all sites immediately which was great..

This audio guide was wonderful; it took us on a tour of the gardens whilst telling us some very interesting stories. The Palace of Versailles is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and impressive places I have ever visited. From the moment you arrive, you feel enveloped by history, grandeur and elegance.

Versailles is a beautiful and magical place; exploring it with this audioguide Made it a wonderful experience. I liked how well it was organized, they content, and how convenient it was.

Asja was an amazing tour guide. She gave us lots of information and modified the tour based on what the group wanted. It was an extremely hot day and she waited in line so we were first on the shuttle. She really personalized the tour for us. It was great being in a small group, and we loved starting with the gardens and ending with the palace. It was a fantastic day, and we can’t recommend Asja enough.If I had one suggestion for the tour company, it would be to be more specific with the meet up location. The location given is where you should be dropped off if you are in a car. From that location, you walk up a small hill to the courtyard and then look for your guide. Definitely allow another 5 minutes.

I was a bit skeptical after reading some reviews, but this tour went perfectly! Our guide Barbra was lovely and attentive - she had so many interesting stories. This was surely the highlight of our week in Paris! Our guided tour ended around 11:15 I think.I really appreciate how we were provided with tickets to both the palace and the gardens - I recommend paying the 42€ to rent a golf cart as the gardens are almost too massive to explore by foot.My biggest concern was arriving to Versailles on time which is not the guide’s problem. I’d recommend leaving 1.5-2 hours early if you take the metro from Paris. It gives you extra time in case you get a little lost (like we did) and need to stop at the washroom (which I recommend doing before as the tour is very go go go).

Our tour guide Aurele was amazing. Very good with kids and very knowledgeable. My family loved the tour from start to finish and it remains one of their favorite experiences of the trip. My kids are 4 and 7 and Aurele was wonderful with the kids and keeping them engaged. She was smart, kind, and good with kids.

Earlier is better because of crowds. Other than that, our guide Maura was excellent at explaining things.

Our guide was tres charmante! She shared just the right amount of info for me and my 2 Japanese cousins, and answered our questions. The open top vintage car and the champagne were perfect. Versailles is so huge, it was fantastic to take the drive! Merci bien!

Breezy, beautiful, relaxing, fun. A wonderful bike ride through the gardens and streets of Versailles. Phoebe are tour guide was friendly and took good care of us. I was expecting to go closer to the chateau — the gardens and such. But ultimately, I was happy with the trip.

Host was especially sweet and accommodating and adjusted the time for our group! Well prepared and fun plus yummy creations to eat at the end!

We had a lovely experience. The tour guide Robin was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was historic heat wave and my kids were very hot and tired and the guides pivoted and accommodated us and suggested we use the trolley instead of the bikes because they were getting overheated which we appreciated them for that and we still had such a lovely time.

Super easy to book. Our guide, Gwen with Walking Tours, was knowledgeable and caring. Fluent English. No waiting in queues. Smooth moving through the sites. Using Vox boxes made it easy to understand our guide, Gwen. Palace tour was a little less than 2 hours. Gardens an hour. Highly recommend.
