Our tour guide, Sabrina, was very animated and funny, and clearly familiar with the history. She told the history in an engaging way, inviting us to imagine ourselves as courtiers walking through the palace. She also helped us navigate the crowds with expert calm. A great experience to see Versailles and the gardens (the Hameau de la reine was my favorite) with extra info and guidance from a guide. Would absolutely recommend!

The guide makes all the difference! Nancy was terrific; her British accent was clear and utterly delightful. The tour went just a little long, and you must be able to walk and stand for a long period of time, but our guide was funny and so informed (her French history major).
