A costumed guide playing the chambermaid Sophie leads families through selected rooms of the Old Palace and New Wing, ending in the grand festival halls. She talks about nobles and servants, family life, how royal children were raised, and the receptions, festivals and leisure pursuits of the court. The one-hour tour adapts its storytelling for guests of different ages. Adults may take part only when accompanied by children. Other dates of this tour are for families with children from age 6.
