Day Trips From Paris

Versailles is a must see destination. The transportation was very comfortable and convenient. The tour bus narrator was very communicative and spoke several languages. Angelina's restaurant was so good. The food was delicious and not too expensive.

It was a unique experience visiting Palace of Versailles. Although it is winter and inside the palace there are things to see -awesome sculptures, paintings, furnitures and fittings. There are benches to sit and rest if you need to as the palace is extremely huge. It is convenient to buy tickets via this site and just need to show the ticket at the entrance. This tour needs at least 3-4hrs as there are many rooms and halls to cover.

It is an amazing sensation to enter the palace, as if you travel back in time and find yourself in the midst of historical events. We spent more than two hours in the palace without noticing how the time flew by. And the garden, shocked by its beauty and majesty....

Very easy to use the tickets - I scanned the barcode at the barrier then we passed my phone between us so that each of us could scan our tickets. The chateau was spectacular from the opulent bedrooms to the little area where they set out what Napoleon's on-tour accommodation would have looked like. The cafe and toilets were clean but basic - the cafe tables were outside. We saw lots of couples having wedding photos taken which was cute. The grounds were beautiful.

Sam and Gironde were amazing-professional and always there to help or answer any questions. Thank you both for the great experience.

Great learning and delightful experience. Very engaged and thoughtful guide. Wish we had more time to spend in each of the chateaus.

It was great to find a tour that included two key sites in one day trip. Many available are one or the other and when you are travelling you often have limited time so finding a way to put them both together definitely was a highlight. Both tours were run by different tour guides, and the tour at the palace of Versailles was run by such an expert in the field it was fantastic to have someone so passionate showing us around. Tips for anyone taking this tour: - if you want to save money you can bring a packed lunch pretty easily as there is no designated meal time. That's at your own discretion - it starts early and we don't stop for your own time until midday so definitely eat breakfast beforehand or bring snacks - Monets house was packed so do that first before you even look at the gardens otherwise you may miss out - bring a hat if it is spring or summer especially - there is water available to purchase but bring your own - the location they drop you off afterwards is different to pickup and they didn't give us that location. It made it a little harder for us to return to our hotel after as it was further away and we didn't know. Not a deal breaker but don't plan anything afterwards to give you extra time to travel at the end
