Wonderful tour to Versailles Palace
We had a wonderful tour! Latitia was very informative and we loved hearing all the stories about Versailles! She also made it very easy and comfortable to enjoy the tour. Based on the crowds surrounding, it could’ve been very overwhelming, but she guided us and told us what to look for and made the trip enjoyable. We will definitely book through this tour operator again.
