Versailles Palace Skip The Line Access Half Day Private & Tailored Guided Tour

Fred was great. He provided a ton of interesting and informative background information that really helped us enjoy the experience and understand the context of it all. He went above and beyond to make it a great tour and experience for us.

Excellent!! Fred was fabulous. Great communication. I very much appreciated his communication especially the day before to confirm. Very knowledgeable. Helped us set up a tour at the last minute and followed up the next day. Very nice man. Highly recommend.

We visited Paris over the holidays in December 2019-2020. Unfortunately, when we arrived at Versailles, they decided not to open the palace because of the strike. Despite the fact that we were unable to get into the Palace, our tour guide, Fred, provided a wonderful tour, showing us the grounds, gardens and wonderful lunch at a small restaurant in Versailles. We learned a great deal about the Palace, its history and the rooms. He was a wonderful guide and helped us make the best out of a difficult situation.

Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about Versailles and was able to navigate our way through the crowds. He was able to make it feel like a very intimate and informative experience in spite of the hoards of people elbowing their way through the palace. The experience was memorable for all of the right reasons. It was a bonus that he also knew shortcuts through Paris traffic in the midst of a debilitating transit strike. Book this trip!

Our family -- two adults, plus 12- and 10-year-old sons -- got so much out of this tour. We felt like Fred taught us a French history class in addition to everything about Versailles, in the best possible way; it put Versailles into a larger context, and he did so in a way that even the children got something out of it. He was skilled at avoiding some of the larger crowds within Versailles whenever possible as well. We also appreciated being picked up and dropped off again right at our hotel, along with getting to skip the entry line that was incredibly long even in late November. I'd recommend this tour to anyone, including families, who want to see Versailles and learn an incredible amount about it without being just another visitor in one of the enormous groups.

This tour is pricey but every penny is worth it! With the secret side entrance, you won't be waiting at all as you pass by the hundreds of tourists just waiting and waiting. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared us everything we needed to know! We were transported via a luxury Mercedes Van - very comfortable stocked with bottles of water. Highly recommend!

We were in Paris with my two young children (ages 4 and 6). Fred did a great job of tailoring the tour to meet the cadence (and attention span) of a young family's first visit to Versailles. Would highly recommend him and Parismatic tours!

Our tour guide Rami pickes us up in a luxury van and took us on a great day in Versailles. He was incredibly knowledgeable and knew his way around all the great spots.

Nice Tour with good service. All of the places were great to see. This is a must visit in Paris. Located at outskirts of Paris city and can be great for Day trips.

Fred was the ultimate guide. He made the visit to Versailles a memorable and enjoyable experience. from the moment he picked us up at the hotel, he was full of very interesting facts and history. We felt totally special as we visited the palace and had no problem with access through the palace. It is a must visit with Fred.
