Olivier, the tour guide,... - Olivier, the tour guide, was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. There were only 4 of us in the tour, so he was able to give us all of his attention. It was definitely a plus that he’s a trained art historian. The Palace wasn’t crowded and we were able to get through the highlights with ease. The gardens weren’t in bloom, but I can imagine they’re amazing when they are. If you have 3-4 hours to spare, this tour is a must!
