It’s all about the story. - Godze was great. We met her and boarded the train and she outlined what we would expect. Along the short walk to Versailles she gave us suggestions on how to spends our time after the tour. When she handed us off to Ahmet we were in for a few hours of story telling with an infectious enthusiasm. What an orator! Even my 17 year old daughter was engaged in the history as narrated by Ahmet!

Versailles - history brought to life - It was amazing. The knowledge of our guide was second to none. Bel did a wonderful job explaining all the pertinent lessons about Versailles. With her extensive background in history and art history she literally brought the castle to life. She also took such great care of my pregnant daughter. Couldn’t have had a better experience!

Guides very good. Versailles huge disappointment! - Our guide to Versailles was very good but walked very fast without notice of myself, older. Our guide at the palace was good but did not always speak more directly into her microphone so I missed some of her information. Others did too. Versailles itself was a huge disappointment! It was crowded and we rushed through without really being able to stop and see things. I felt like we were cattle being herded.
