“This was such a great way to see Versailles. As a solo traveler, it was nice to be in a small group of 10-11 ppl. The tour was on time and largely stuck to the schedule. There was more than enough time at most stops and we really got to do a lot of different things. From walking around the market to biking around the grounds and having a picnic along the water, it truly was a great day. A great time and I’d say well worth the money! Also, our tour guide Theo was awesome, fun, and engaging!”

“Mathias was simply wonderful. I have mobility trouble due to blood cancer that impacts my bones, and stay in a fair amount of pain. When I realized the amount of walking , I asked if I could just have a place to sit and wait for them to finish. Instead, he found me a wheelchair to use and made sure we were ok and could see the rooms and art every step of the way. Very kind, very knowledgeable, much appreciated to be treated with kindness. Highly recommend.”

We were upgraded to the small group tour so got to tour the king's apartment which was an added bonus. That made the day long but well worth it. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Rory!”

“Inexperienced guide, some wrong information and lots of "I don't know" answers to questions. Guide spoke 5% of the time maximum. Tour started 30 minutes late, we had to wait 30 minutes for people being late, tour guide bike broke and took 15 minutes to fix and we had to drop off the bikes which is 30 minutes ride back plus 15 minute walk to the Chateau. We had less than 2 hours to explore the Chateau before it closed. The guide told us it would be open till after 10 pm, it closed at 6 pm. Experience was poor, would not recommend this company as half the time was…”
