Our guide, Rosaria was wonderful, sharing her knowledge of art and French history surrounding the palace and gardens of Versailles as she guided us on our tour. The small group made navigating the crowds pretty smooth and I would highly recommend this tour.

As always Walks of Italy tours delivered a wonderful experience in my Versailles Palace & Gardens Stroll. The guide met us in Paris and took us by train to Versailles where we toured the palace and took a short visit to the gardens. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience memorable.

This tour was great, guides were excellent and Manny explained things very well, with humor and interest for our 12 year old daughter. We had priority access as well, skipping all of the long lines for entry, we walked right into the castle. The walk through the town was charming and Andre did a great job explaining the local markets and the best ways to travel back to Paris. We chose to take a train back that ended right at the Eiffle tower to see that as well in the afternoon.
