I have to thank the guide for waiting as I was slightly late due to train delays from Paris. However, I do have to highlight that the audio equipment was not the best. Volume is super low and that makes it hard to listen to the guide at some specific rooms that are more crowded.

I love guided tours for the extra color they provide for experiences that I otherwise would not have picked up myself, and our guide provided some of that with the requisite wit and humor. That said, I did think the tour itself was way too short, showing only the major rooms of the first level and entirely skipping the other rooms of the first level and garden level. I’m sure this tour has been curated as such after feedback from thousands of visitors, but for those looking for the right tour for them, know that this one gives just a small taste of Versailles and leaves so much more to be explored. I personally wish I had rented an audio guide to delve into more of the rooms/sights (and I’m generally someone who prefer guided tours over audio tours), but had already spent extra for this guided tour so it didn’t feel like an economic choice to do both.

We had a guided tour into the palace of Versaille, our guide Olivia was brilliant. She spoke clear English and made the tour interesting and fun. Myself and my 16 year old daughter learned a lot from the tour and found the palace to be stunning! We enjoyed walking around the gardens and Marie Antoinettes estate afterwards. Would definitely return again 😍
