This trip was a disaster. It was supposed to start at 1030am for 5 hours. They emailed the night before asking us to meet at the meeting point at 11am. Ok no problem. However on the day the guide arrived at 1150am. There was another couple also waiting. We all got to Versailles around 1pm and he took us to the entrance where we found out that the entrance tickets he had got for us was for 430pm! Security of course would not let us in. Also the place closes at 530pm. As this obviously would not work - cannot see anything until we enter - we asked the guide just to take us back to Paris and refund the money. However he could not contact the driver of the van who dropped us off and was unable to make any alternate arrangements. Terrible situation. We finally took an Uber at our own.cost back to Paris. After repeated calls and emails to Viator we finally got the tour cost refunded. DO NOT BOOK A TOUR WITH THIS COMPANY.

The palace and gardens are amazing. My daughter and I went on this trip. There were some challenges with the trip getting cancelled so we had to rebook but once we got that worked out it was great our driver was very knowledgeable and spoke English which really helped since we are American and speak very little French.

My partner and I signed up for this tour, and I'd give it zero stars if I could, for so many reasons. First, I contacted the company via Viator a few days before the trip to ask What time we'd expect to have finished the tour, as it was not listed in the description. There was no response. The day of the tour, we were the only people who signed up, so we were taken by car to Versailles. Usually, the driver is the guide and gives information along the way. This driver spoke no English and we listened to his music instead. Arriving at Versailles, he showed his pass, which got us into the palace, handed us Versailles' own audioguide devices, and said he'd meet us at 4. After we walked through the palace, we learned that visiting the gardens would cost us (I think) $24 more, and another $24 for us to see Trianon and the little farm. On the Versailles website, the cost for us to see *everything* with the audioguide was 38 euros each! We have been totally ripped off, having paid close to $300 for the two of us. But we were offered a bottle of water! I would appreciate, and feel we are owed, a refund.
