Very informative and enjoyable tour
We want to comment on the wonderful tour of Versailles provided by Zara. She is truly a store house of knowledge. She made the tour extra special. Our van did not have air conditioning due to a part needing to be repaired, but it was hot. Altogether I think this is a wonderful tour.
Wonderful tour guide (Fred) & Beautiful palace tour
Frederick was a wonderful tour guide and he was so knowledgeable. He talked a lot about the history behind the palace of Versailles on our way there and when we arrived We skipped the line and went straight into the palace. He explained each room’s architecture & paintings. It was probably a little too much for my 17-year-old granddaughter (not into history as much as me) and he realized that and gave us the highlights. I would definitely recommend it.
Tour Versailles like a King or Queen with Parismatic Tour via Euroscope Paris
The grandeur and beauty of the Palace of Versailles is unmatched and as the second most visited monument in all of France behind the Eiffel Tower we expected it to be crowded. It was. Our guided tour with Fred Khighatian founder of Parismatic Tour was exceptional. Fred picked us up at our hotel on time, introduced himself, and drove us to the Palace in a new Mercedes van. Our small group of six entered a side entrance at 9:30 a.m. skipping the line of visitors 100 meters long waiting to enter the Palace at the Main Gate. Fred provided each of us a small receiver and an ear bud so we could hear everything he related over the next two hours as we moved from room to room. He told us in great detail about the life of the Royal family, significant events, paintings, sculptures, furniture, secret passages, noble visitors, daily life at the palace, and many other historical details. We completed our tour with a walk to view the spectacular and enormous gardens and the return trip to our hotel. The door-to-door personal service, the skip the line access, and Fred’s personal attention and expert knowledge made the tour a great experience and worth every penny.
Wonderful tour with family!
We were in Paris with my two young children (ages 4 and 6). Fred did a great job of tailoring the tour to meet the cadence (and attention span) of a young family’s first visit to Versailles. Would highly recommend him and Parismatic tours!
