If you’ve never been to Versailles or wish to experience it in a more meaningful way, you should book a day with My Private Paris. Our guide, Flora, was deeply knowledgeable about both the history of Versailles and its inhabitants, providing an understanding of the “stories behind the throne.” Versailles has recently undergone a spectacular renovation and it’s a must see on any trip to France. The private tour takes you into the seldom seen private state apartments of the monarchs, as well as the exquisite chapel of the royal family. Flora was a true delight and our day flew by, despite lots of walking and talking. A private tour is always an indulgence, and this one is well worth it. Versailles is so busy and the crowds so immense that it’s hard to enjoy without a guide. While My Private Paris must blend its private tours into the larger, public tours of the state apartments, this is still preferable to braving the crowds “unprotected.” Do this tour!
