Excellent tour by knowledgeable guide! - We chose a Sunday morning tour at 0815, small group, viewing the palace and gardens of Versailles. There were only 8 of us. Our guide, Michelle, was extremely knowledgeable about all the history AND she was our driver. The palace was over the top and you could have spent hours in the garden. We saw the original fountains working and the chapel was open. We will come back some day to savor it longer. I highly recommend this tour!

Overall, very good. - Excellent guide. Occasionally, a little hard to understand. The problem was us, not understanding the French language. Not enough time for the experience.
