We loved our tour of the Versailles Palace and Gardens. Blerta was our tour guide and she did a great job explaining the history and traditions of King Louis. We learned that Blerta is an artist - her passion for the arts made our tour so much more enjoyable. After the tour, we rented a golf cart to do more exploring of the beautiful gardens- so much fun! Look for the red coffee cart selling Italian coffee …molto bene!!

Reuben our guide was extremely informative and we toured the palace and gardens. The living areas of both the King and Queen were wonderful and the mirrored hallway was magnificent. The gardens breathtaking and the music and fountain was an experience to see and enjoy.
