Den guidade turen var toppen!

Vi bokade en guidad tur och var jättenöjda. Vi behövde inte köa för att komma in och även om det var supermycket folk inne i slottet så fick vi en givande upplevelse ändå, enbart tack vare Guiden, hennes headset och våra hörsnäckor. Det var absolut värt priset! Våra barn 11, 15 och 17 uppskattade också guidningen.

We arrived late due to delays getting through airport. We were switched to the next tour with no hassle. You meet at their office in the mall across from the train station and walk to the the palace and begin your tour. Entry to the palace was very quick. Any holdup is due to security check. Our guide Gabriella was great, very knowledgeable and entertaining. She provided good grasp of the palace construction and royal family that built it to the fall of the monarchy. Palace itself is spectacular and grounds are magnificent. Because we arrived mid afternoon we only got do see the gardens next to the palace but that was sufficient to appreciate the size of the estate. We also purchased the night light show/firework. You have to leave the grounds when it closes at 5:30 then return for lightshow after 8:30 so went to our hotel for a quick nap. Getting around on train system is super easy. Fireworks were great, light show was not as we expected being just a bunch of strobe lights.

My family of five went to Versailles in mid September. It was our first time booking with Get Your Guide and our experience was phenomenal from beginning to end. The explanation on how to pick up the tickets was straightforward and our tour guide, Ruben, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Versailles and made the tour very interesting. Even my 7 year old son was intrigued and was kept engaged throughout the entire tour. I highly recommend booking through Get Your Guide and if you ever go to Versailles make sure you request Ruben. You won’t be disappointed!
