It was a wonderful day...

Theresa_D, Apr 2024

It was a wonderful day with beautiful views and history. Momo and staff went above and beyond to make it a wonderful day.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you very much for your review ! Regards :)

Be ready to walk, even with the golf cart add on.

Angel_D, Apr 2024

Cons: Very unorganized start. Met at 9:30 only to wait 35 min for the late party to arrive. Way more walking than we expected (I was injured and had trouble Walking). We assumed we would be doing the whole tour with the golf cart. That is why we booked. Be ready to walk A TON! The palace is packed with people all trying to navigate the rooms together and it is hard to get from one room to the next without someone elbowing you. If you have an anxiety or trouble in closed space, skip the palace part. Pros: our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Took great pictures for us and was very likable. We learned a lot of history. We love, love, loved the champagne and row bow add on. However we had to go back and forth with the agent at the boat pick up that the add on was included in our booking. Finally resolved, but seems it should have been printed in our original ticket, which it was not. Luckily I had my Viator receipt that showed we paid for it.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hello, thank you for your review. The Royal Domain is 9000 acres and as it is a historical place not every corner is accessible by golfcarts so there is some walking to do ! I am sorry for the late start, we had some late comers, we tried to accomodate them by waiting a little bit. Wish you guys all the best, Regards,

Please read the entire review: It is not all bad.

Nancy_M, Oct 2023

I wish there was a maybe for the question on recommending the tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. He did a fabulous job driving us around the see the grounds. When it came to the romantic boat escape, I wish I had read the instructions more carefully. I was not expecting to row my own boat (I am an older person traveling with my daughter). I did get enough courage to get on the boat with my daughter, who had only rowed a boat on the Nintendo Mario game. Once we got over the hump on how to row the boat, we had a few laughs (we did not stay in the water very much). We saved our champagne and had it with lunch. Getting into the place was a nightmare and I waited in line for 1.5 hours. I wish the tour would have made this easier. If you are interested in seeing the palace (which I would I would imagine it is an all-day event), this is not the tour for you. By the time I got in, I just had enough time to find the hall of mirrors.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello, thank you for writing us a review. We provide timed tickets to the palace, and with those, guests usually stay in line less than 10 minutes. We are very skeptical about the fact that you had to wait in line for 1.5h, we had over 1600 guests in the last 15months, it never happened not even once ! You probably decided to show up early and the palace's staff asked you to wait until the access time mentionned on your tickets :) As stated in the tour description the boats part is a self guided tour, we provide the boats, the champagne and the privacy :) Guests are kindly require to maneuver their boats themselves, which makes the experience more intimate and fun :) regards, Nima

Fun!!!

Dear Halia, many thanks for choosing us for your Versailles experience. Wish you all the best, Regards,

Worth Every Penny

Shannon_R, Sep 2023

Really enjoyed learning about the rich history of the grounds at Versailles. The golf cart aspect made it so easy to navigate. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly!!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Shannon, many thanks for your feed back, we are ver pleased that you enjoyed your tour :) Regards,

The tour of the Gardens...

Isaura_E, Jul 2023

The tour of the Gardens was very good. Rowing the barge was not expected. Had to pay for the tram back to the palace and had to wait for 30 mins to Boarding and 30 more minutes before starting back.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and sorry if the experience did not meet your standards. 1/ Guests are kindly requested to row their boats themselves, just like guests from the bike tour are kindly requested to pedal their bikes themselves. 2/ It is clearly mentioned in the tour description that guests will need to make their way back to the palace on foot, which is a 15minutes walk. You decided to take the little train instead of walking, which was not part of the Tour you booked, therefore the ticket was not included. 3/ The Palace of Versailles is a busy place, with around 9 millions visitors per year, therefore it can indeed be a little packed, especially during the summer. As much as we would love our customers to access the palace as quick as possible, sometimes, on very busy days, there is a little queue. Unfortunately that is totally beyond us. 4/ You complained during the tour about having to walk 2/3 minutes to access the Groves (Bosquets) after parking the golfcarts. The Domain of Versailles is a historical monument which was constructed in the 17th century. In order to protect the fragile monuments scattered in the gardens, the management has established an itinerary for the golfcarts. Again this is also totally beyond us, but it seems pretty logic not being able to ride the carts absolutely everywhere in those 350 years old gardens. Thank you again for choosing us for your Versailles Tour, wishing you guys all the best, kind regards, Nima

Fantastic tour. 10/10

Evan_R, May 2023

Great experience and would highly recommend this tour. Nima was a true professional and was extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot of new things and had plenty of smiles and laughs. Golf carts and row boats were awesome and made if a fun way to get around the huge property. It’s gorgeous and a must see, but it was very helpful having Nima show us what surprises were around the property.

Thank you to our tour guide, Nima

Michael_G, Oct 2022

Our tour guide, Nima, was fantastic. Very kind and courteous. He accommodated the trip to fit for our family and made sure everyone had a wonderful time. The package was well rounded, you get to see everything that you could want to see and more!

Dear Michael, merci beaucoup for your feed back and for your trust ! Regards :)

Best One Day Tour Package of Versaille

Martin_R, Oct 2022

Nima our Guide was excellent. There was a logistical timing problem with part of our tour that was unavoidable and no fault of King Tours. Nima reached out to us three days before the tour and gave us options which were above our expectations. In addition to the tour we were given bicycles to use at our leisure for touring more of Versaille. This tour is the best way to see Versaille if you have only one day. Versaille is massive and would have been exhausting if it was all done a foot. The romantic boat escape was fabulous. We were able to grab take away lunch at a shop next to the dock and enjoy a leisurely lunch with the champagne on the canal. Well done King tours for putting this package together. We are eager to refer friends and family.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Martin, thank you very much! I'm glad that you enjoyed your Tour and your champagne :) Wish you all the best,
