We were very happy with the tour to Versailles; the guide was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We left and arrived right on time. I would definitely take the tour again.

Great wxperience with well educated guide. The only thing is that I would love to do it during summer time not winter as we did, because of the full potential of the gardens

I went with my husband, 21 year old Son and my parents. To start with the meeting point that had been clear ever since I booked the tour, suddenly changed. I don't know if it was an issue with me or not but we just made it. There were still people arriving after us so we weren't alone but it meant we were late leaving. The journey was good and it was a lovely coach. When we arrived our guide, Francois, was absolutely fantastic, so passionate and knowledgeable about Versailles. He was funny and gave us facts aswell as his opinions. We actually ran into him in the Louvre the next day and he remembered us , then twice again later on. Lovely man. Anyway after the tour of the main palace we were allowed to wander round the gardens and they were beautiful, with several places to stop and have something to eat or drink. Unfortunately the fountains were either completely empty or half empty and not working which was a shame. Apart from that and not being collected on the way back, it was a lovely day. Be prepared for a lot of walking though! Would definitely recommend, just check meeting points.

Rather why I didn't like it! Cheating at the purchase of the ticket, request guide in French and I had only a guide in English!!! So I consider this unacceptable!!!!
