Good way to see and learn about the massive palace! Meeting point instructions were confusing since the statue was covered and clicking directions had meeting point behind palace, but guide helper did call to check on us and provided clarification. Tour guide June was friendly and knowledgeable. Headsets were certainly helpful. Palace was very crowded on the Sunday morning we went - 2 in our group became separated from the others towards the end of the tour. June was sorry about that and helped us to reconnect with them after the tour.

We had an English tour guided by Francesco and he was very funny and very informative. Seeing the palace of Versailles was an amazing experience. Tickets were sold out a week and half in advance and we wouldn’t have been able to get in if it hadn’t been for this tour.
