Amazing private tour! - Jennifer was absolutely amazing. Showed us everything and explained the history behind it. Got us front of the line access to the palace. The golf cart portion of the garden tour was great as well. Highly recommend this private tour. I couldn’t imagine doing this without a private tour guide.

Wonderful option to see the grounds - The gardens are immense. The golf cart was a nice opportunity to appreciate their scale. The tour was informative and additional spaces were available for us to explore on our own after.

Enjoyable & Satisfying! - Our experience with this private tour was great.
We started our tour with being met at the predesignated location by our Livtour host Sebastian. He is very pleasant & engaging and explained to us very clearly how the tour would proceed and where we would rendezvous with our tour guide.
He then walked us through the site entrance and introduced us to our guide, Julie.
Julie is very personable, professional, knowledgeable and quite engaging, but in a very relaxed manner. She presented very clear historical information in a way that made it easy to envision the moments in time she was speaking about.
We started with the golf cart tour of the gardens. The area is huge and the cart allowed us to see several different areas in about an hour, that otherwise would have taken half a day (and, to us, it would not have been worth that much time investment). While the areas we saw were quite nice, it appeared that much of the garden vegetation is
similar and there was not much in the form of blooming flowers or color.
We also spent time with Julie casually talking about our own personal stories, which made for an even more relaxed tour. Additionally, we talked about a number of other things related to our trip and her life in France.
A very enjoyable and satisfying experience!
Thank you, Julie!
