Perfect Garden Visit

Michele_D, May 2023

This is experience of exploring the Versailles gardens by golf cart and bike was amazing! the gardens are huge and the guide took us to beautiful hidden magical spots! we saw Marie-Antoinette‘s hamlet too! perfect picnic lunch! Our guide was informative and brought the story of Versailles to life. i highly recommend!!

Great experience at Versailles

Jennifer_s, May 2023

We had a great visit to Versailles with our tour guide! Very interesting history shared throughout, and felt like he knew the ground so well! He took us to all the right spots at all the right time to get the best effect (fountains on) and we really enjoyed the variety of travel with golf carts and bikes. I had been to Versailles 20+ years ago and never knew all the secrets that the gardens held. Delicious and relaxing picnic lunch. Not an experience to be missed if you want a full tour of the beautiful gardens and grounds!

This tour was amazing and Nima was awesome!

Corina_F, May 2023

This was probably the best tour I've done (in any country)! Nima was a fantastic tour guide and so accommodating. this tour was the perfect balance between walking, biking, and riding in the golf cart. It was raining when we first started the tour, so having the golf cart to travel around was such a great benefit. Also, the lunch provided was very good and made it so easy to not have to worry about what to do for lunch. After the tour is over you get to explore the palace on your own. At first I was disappointed Nima wasn't joining to guide us, but it's actually better to do the palace at your leisure. It can be so crowded so it was easier without a tour group. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Versailles, and try to get Nima if you can!

Amazingly well organized and fun

Michael_D, May 2023

Nema of kings tours was amazing. This tour was amazingly well organized. Nema kept us on track even though me guest was late and delayed things. Nema was easy to find and was very knowledgeable about many aspects of Versailles. The day ends with the palace which is good. The gardens are the most interesting part of the tour. And it was great fun riding the golf carts and my wife and I were even able to use a tandem bike for the first time. The picnic lunch was a lovely experience and we were blessed with great weather. Even though it was a large tour (20) it was great! Highly recommend Nema and Kingstours.

Well worth it!

Elizabeth_H, May 2023

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Nima, was excellent and made it a memorable day. His fun facts about the history of Versailles were very interesting and it was a fun day for my mother and me. We especially loved the picnic and exploring the village behind Marie Antoinette's house.

Great day tour of Versailles

Teresa_C, May 2023

Nima was great. He shared tons of information and made sure everyone was happy and taken care of. This tour is a great way to see a good bit of Versailles Palace and grounds.

Best Versailles Tour EVER

Jeny_M, May 2023

This was the best tour and Nima made it so memorable. If you travel to Paris you must take the time to book this trip and request Nima. We started on foot with an entire historical background outside on the palace and the grounds. We then had an amazing golf cart tour of the fountains and groves. We then transitioned to the most spectacular bike ride along the lake. From there we had a wonderful walking tour of Marie Antoinette’s residence, and Gardens followed by a delicious box lunch with wine on blankets that Nima provided. From there, we bicycled back to the palace, where we then did our own self guided tour of the palace. This is by far one of our favorites excursions in Paris. As a friendly reminder, which we did not know being from the United States the fountains of Versailles are only on Saturday and Sunday. Nima is so knowledgeable and has the answers to any and all questions about any time period. If I could give 10 stars for this tour, I would!! Thank you Nima.

Perfect for a family trip!

Daniela_V, May 2023

We had lots of fun with the whole family! We were already tired, from all the walking in the previous days, so the golf cart was a great tool to access all the garden quickly. My boys loved the bike part

I went to a garden party 🎶

Rachel_C, May 2023

Perfect combination of golf cart, bike and walking! The lunch exceeded expectations- delicious! And, Nima was a great tour guide! Will easily recommend to friends.

Kimberly_S, Apr 2023

We had an amazing day with our tour guide! I cannot remember his name 😩 he did an amazing job keeping up with 15 of us on a grand tour of Versailles! He gave all the history in detail and took us around the grounds and summer houses. Before turning is loose in the chateau he gave us information on what we would see. Our lunch was great as well! Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Versailles! You won’t miss a thing!

Do not miss this tour

Brett_V, Sep 2022

If you do not take this tour then you are missing Versailles. The palace is special but the gardens & the bosques make the trip more than memorable. The information given by our guide was entertaining & informative. Everything was so great that even the 8 year old in the group did not have one complaint all day.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Brett thank you very much for your review ! I am very glad you guys enjoyed your Tour :)

Best guide, easy bike ride to see gardens and Trianons, delicious for vegan or carnivore!

emokeefe, Aug 2022

Nima, our guide, was very knowledgeable in history and took advantage of every moment to share an insider’s understanding of the time period and place at hand. Practically speaking, he waited for us when the bus from Point du Sevre to Versailles was 15 min late; he made sure each of us was comfortable on our bikes, and most importantly, made sure there was a vegan lunch of couscous and vegetables was available. The standard ham and cheese baguette with wine, chips, and a pastry was perfect in the shade of the Petit Trianon. It was a long day, but simply perfect. The metro/bus was very convenient to use to get to sleep he meeting place from Paris.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Elizabeth, first of all many thanks for taking the time to write us a review :) I am delighted that you guys had a good time and enjoyed your Tour ! Thanks again and wishing you all the best :)

The best tour, there is no other way to Visit Versailles.

Angie_W, Aug 2022

This tour was hands down one of the best, if not the best experience we had during our visit to Paris. There is no other way to see Versailles. Nima was an excellent guide, from the beginning of our tour till the end he guided our family of 4 (my husband and I and our 10 year old son and 12 year old daughter) with expertise and rich historical information at each part of the grounds and palace. We were all enthralled with the details he provided and the answers to our many questions. Nima’s english is exceptional, he is intuitive to the needs of his guests, asking if we needed to rest or if we would like a family picture etc. From the use of the golf carts, biking the grounds, walking the beautiful landscape, visiting the palace and outer buildings and eating a delicious provided lunch this experience was 100% worth it. I would give it more than 5 stars if possible. My family and i loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat. Don’t hesitate just book it, you won’t regret it!

Kathy_M, Aug 2022

Our tour guide Nima was incredible. He knew a great deal of history about the palace as well as France in general. His English was flawless. The trip was well organized to avoid the crowds. It would have been impossible to see as much as we did if we had not been on bikes

Amazing Versailles bike and golf car tour

Sheena_V, Jul 2022

Our family had a wonderful time on this tour of Versailles. Our guide, Nima was great and very knowledgeable about the history of Versailles. We got to see the beautiful gardens via golf cart which we wouldn’t have been able to manage by foot. The biking was the highlight for our family (we traveled with our daughters ages 13 and 10)! We got to bike all around the property and enjoyed a delicious picnic lunch in between the biking. The palace was very grand and we got a lot of beautiful family pictures in the gardens. We all had a great experience and would highly recommended this tour!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Sheena, thank you very much for your review. It was great to have you guys on our Tour !
