This was a great experience! I had been to Versailles once before without a guide, but was happy to have one this time to get even more out of it. Our guide Rose made this an interesting and wonderful visit! Well worth it!

Your was very good. Guide...
Your was very good. Guide did tend to focus a lot on paintings and allegories. He also spoke very quickly which was a bit overwhelming

Excellent tour!
This tour was highly worth it. Olivia was very knowledgeable and kept the tour fun and interesting. We learned so much in the time with her about the history and culture at Versailles. After the tour we were able to explore the gardens and that was equally as amazing. A great tour and well worth the cost.
