It was amazing. The 2 hours flew by so fast. Our guide was very knowledgeable she could answer any questions asked, loved her!! We went at 6:00 pm in September and it wasn’t insanely busy. Got up close to the Mona Lisa.

This was an amazing experience! Starting with our guide that met us at a central location and took us on the 20-min train ride. Berrick did an exceptional job at explaining everything to the group; he was clear and thorough with instructions, answered all our questions and ensured he answered all our questions before handing us off to the historian. The guide at Versailles was good also, but walked a bit fast for us and many would often straggle behind. At one point, a couple of us completely lost him but thankfully reconnected shortly thereafter. And Versailles, oh my!!! What an absolutely gorgeous gem - the day was amazing so this only added to the spectacular time we had. Would absolutely visit again and despite it being a bit crowded, we did manage to get lots of great shots. Grateful for this event - our family and I really enjoyed it.
