Barbara was great. Plan for longer to see the gardens. They are spectacular! Lots of school kids in June so beware the extra time to get through the palace.

Guide was very knowledgeable, patient, and pleasant to tour the Palace with. Only big issue IMHO was that the headsets used only went into one ear. Sharing the inside of the PAkace with a huge crowd caused issues hearing our tour guide because of all the ambient noise. Outside the Palace was no problem hearing. I recommend two ear stereo headsets be used.

Livia was a fantastic guide. Versailles was very crowded when we went but she managed to keep us together. The audio narrative was easy to hear with the headphone and was very interesting. The gardens were magnificent. I strongly recommend a guide if you are visiting Versailles

The guided tour was amazing, and the history shared in the tour made you feel like you were living in the palace.
