We booked this excursion to get out of the big city of Paris for a day and see the Palace. It was a great day. The driver picked us up from our hotel in a very nice, clean minivan and communication was outstanding - they texted us several times before pickup to inform us of traffic and hence a slight delay. We were dropped of in the parking lot of Versailles where we met our guide for the day. She was quite knowledgeable and we learned a lot of the history through the headsets we had on while on the inside palace tour. Then we had the gardens to explore on our own, where we had time and space to sit on a bench and enjoy the picnic lunch we'd brought along. Some of the gardens were being re-planted in preparation for the Olympics (all the equestrian events are to be held at Versailles) and this was interesting to witness.

Pickup and drop off was brilliant .. Could not understand the tour guide very well , she was French so her trying to speak English and us trying to get what she was saying was very difficult so the whole tour was not good and disappointing! The gardens are amazing but it was quite big so trying to book the golf cart was a nightmare, long wait and very few carts for big crowds so we couldn’t book it because pickup time set. iIt was such a waste to see only half the gardens.

It was easy to set up our pick up location. Our guide met us at Versailles and gave us a good tour of the palace. The garden tickets are self-showing. Our tour started at 1pm. The tour of the palace ended with around 2 hours to visit the gardens or nearby area before our driver met us at 5pm for the ride back to our hotel.

Driver needs to let his passenger know what's going on during the tour fr the starts to drop off. It was raining but he didn't share his umbrella with the passenger, I was soaking wet. The guide is good but hard to understand.

Peta_S

Very professional and excellent guide. This tour was so well run. Definitely worth doing. The Gardens were amazing.

Maritza_M

My rating is not based on the actual narrated tour guide. He was good. It’s based on the amount of money paid for what you get You’re basically paying to get picked up at your hotel and be driven to the palace. Our driver arrived 5 minutes early, and he was annoyed that we were not standing outside the hotel. Once all was said and done, we arrived 30 minutes too early to even enter the palace. We paid $429 for two people, it was a two hour tour. No food drinks were provided.

Great tour guide Philippe. Palace is fantastic just as the gardens are beautiful. Took the golf cart around the gardens which takes about an hour. The gardens are vast. Great tour highly recommended

It’s a beautiful place, but was overcrowded, we felt like sardines . Outdoors was not nearly as crowded.
