Olivia‘s English was excellent and my daughter and I enjoyed the hour and a half tour.. The headphones provided very clear communication between the guide and the guests. She showed us beautiful rooms including the hall of mirrors and I feel we got more out of our visit because of the guide. She was engaging and informational.

Excellent Great guide who was very concise and knew history inside and out. He was organized and keep us moving and on task. Often guides get distracted or spend so much time making jokes that the real stories are lost to the attendants. I love the fact that he began each room with the purpose of the room by focusing on the ceiling and the messages found therein.

Pick-up at the scheduled time from the meeting place. Small group of around 10 people. Everyone has a wireless headset to hear live comments from the guide who speaks into her microphone: impeccable for hearing clearly despite the surrounding noise of other tourists. Very friendly guide who knows his subject. Guided tour of the large apartments and the hall of mirrors (approximately 2 hours). Ticket for access (without guide) to the Petit Trianon. Free access to the castle gardens. Visit to recommend without hesitation.
