Loved the private tour, the hotel not way to do Versailles. My family was thrilled, made a nice 50th birthday present for my lovely bride.

Perfect Day at Versailles

Perrine was our private guide to a day at Versailles, the Petit Trianon, and the Queen’s Hamlet. She was amazing! Perrine gave us all the history in a fun and engaging way, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an absolutely perfect day. Additionally, we booked a private transfer to and from Versailles, which was KEY! Perrine picked us up at our hotel with a driver, who took us to the closest entrance to the palace, and picked us up at the Queen’s Hamlet at the end of the day. If we hadn’t booked this service, we probably would have had to walk a few miles to the train station after the tour was over. Also, I’d like to recognize Perrine’s office manager, Pepita, who was absolutely wonderful and coordinated everything for us.
