Our guide Ruben was pure perfection! He was so knowledgable, witty, and a great speaker. It was our favorite activity while in Paris. The equipment was easy to use, pretty easy to hear even while the Palace was very crowded. Highly recommended, for history buffs or non history buffs, it was such a good tour!

A guide makes all the difference in the world on the tour. Our tour guide was Louis Phillippe, who grew up in Paris, and is a big fan of Versailles, which showed in his enthusiasm. He is a wealth of knowledge and has great stories to tell. By the way, he speaks English, French, Italian and Spanish, so he can provide all sorts of interpretation. He managed the tour well, guiding us to various sights and answering questions as needed.

we had such an amazing experience with Cotilde! so informative and passionate about the history of the palace. Such a great pace and it was so well told. The palace was so incredible and I am so happy we had a guide like Cotilde to lead us through otherwise I think we could have gotten lost just from the grandness of it all. With Cotilde, we were able to better understand the palace and all of the history that comes along with it. It was a perfect length & I couldn’t recommend this tour enough!!!
