Golf Cart Tour family of 4
The grounds are immense! Taking the golf cart helps you explore more of the impressive gardens! We were a family of 4 so two golf carts were needed, two carts were included in the price. Our guide, Alex with LivTours was GREAT! He was extremely knowledgeable about the palace, the kings and French history in general. He was polite, enthusiastic and a pleasure to tour with.

Z was absolutely amazing! His knowledge was endless. My sister and I brought my parents to Paris for their 80th birthdays and Z kept a manageable pace for all of us. I highly recommend a golf cart! Even though the rain was disappointing Z was a bright ray of sunshine!
