My wife and I as well as...

My wife and I as well as two of our grandchildren age 10 throughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was good with the children and was well versed in the history of the building itself in addition to the details of the lives of the royal families that lived there. The palace/castle was quite crowded and it was really helpful to have a guide who could get us into the places that most didn’t get to see up close such as the royal chapel.

This tour was worth every penny. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable - she had over 27 years experience giving tours at Versailles and we learned so much. We felt like VIPs cutting lines and getting private access. Definitely recommend!
