Having a guide... - Having a guide explain/describe the construction of Versailles Palace is necessary to appreciate its place in French and world history. We also enjoyed walking the gardens with an experienced guide to explain the design/use by the King Louies. Amazing day!!

Top Notch Tour!! Highly recommend! - This was a very comprehensive tour. So wonderful!! The fact that our tickets came with the tour (gardens and palace) was HUGE and the limited number of tourist (16) was just perfect!
Our tour guide, Nathan, was so knowledgeable and could answer any questions I directed his way.

Our guide Ruben was... - Our guide Ruben was spectacular, giving us immensely important historical context the entire tour. Understanding the significance and purpose of each room turned a series of mega-opulent spaces into a meaningful walk through the lives of French kings and queens.
Loved the personal earpiece too.
