The tour guide was just great. She was not only knowledgeable but also very passionate about Versailles. Very good at talking with clear voice. Above all, I really liked her comments/view on everything we saw.

It was a full day of awe inspiring beauty. From the Palace to the Gardens to the Pink Palace. I was able to move at my own pace peacefully. I chose to purchase the audio guide which was easy to use and offered so much information.
