“I booked a tour for our family because I wanted everyone to get the most out of the experience. Even my 12 and 14 year old found the tour very interesting. our guide was very knowledgeable. Having everything explained while walking through such a stunning building brought it all to life. Meeting place was easy to find. We arrived early as did our guide. We were each given a headset, so even if you did momentarily loose the guide (as there are lots of visitors) you can still hear the commentary. Would happily recommend.”

“The meeting point on maps was not the new meeting point, I've brought this to the attention of GYG. The bus left late as there were folks that arrived late. Guide Julien was excellent, he knows how to captivate you with stories of the sun king and his offspring. I particularly enjoyed the background behind the absolute ruling which, as usual, stems from childhood trauma. The benefit of this ticket is that you can also enjoy the Gardens and the Grand Trianon. interestingly the small Trianon wasn't part of it but we got in for free anyway. Tip: keep the audio guide as you can use it throughout the Trianon…”

Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
