Vivianne was a FABULOUS tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and wore a special headset then gave us each a separate ear bud so we could hear her better. It was wonderful.

We toured with Vivienne on Saturday April 13 @ 2.30pm. My wife and I only.
Cost USD $680 ! Original tour time 10.00am. LIV switched our tour to later time.No explanatio given. Did not meet guide until we walked with LUV rep from Louis XV1 Statue to Golf Cart meeting place inside gardens, at least 20mins later ! Noted on our return to USA, our tour was advertised for less than $400 ! Rip off ! We booked with VIATOR and ended up with LIV ! How come ? Tour gets a 2 - 3 * rating. We have previously taken 4 tours with VIATOR in Italy. All got a 5* score from us !

Anna was truly the best. We had some train issues and ended up being a few minutes behind schedule but she was able to keep us on track. She was so helpful and knowledgeable. We decided this tour was the best way to experience Versailles!

My family and I did the tour of Versailles by golf cart. We had excellent communication and coordination with Mia who met us in front of the palace and then led us to our wonderful guide, Milan. Milan was incredibly knowledgeable about French history, Louis XIV and subsequent kings, as well as Napoleon and the Napoleanic wars. He was also witty and engaging and also made it fun and interactive for our young daughter (which is not easy)! He was thorough and informed, quite polite and provided an excellent tour experience at Versailles; the golf cart transport was also an amazing benefit!

Our group of 5 had an awesome experience with our tour guide Alex. He showed us all around the gardens in the golf carts and was very witty and made it fun. He was great inside the palace too!
We opted for the private pickup and drop off which was worth the extra cost, as it was very crowded leaving. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Disappointing. Booked tour with VIATOR & guide was with LIV ! Golf Cart Tour of Gardens (can rent for €42/hour) and Palace $680. Very expensive. Walked with a LIV person from Louis XV1 meeting point to garden entry ck point, continued on walking to Golf Cart rental point where we met our official tour guide inside the grounds for the first time. It took 20 plus minutes out of our 3 hour tour.
