All in all, I would say the tour experience was very good. Our guide, Ruben, was excellent. The tour was well-organized and the group was fairly small (under 15 persons). My only criticism was that the description for the tour mentioned that it would be by minivan to Versailles. Instead we were transported by bus with several other large groups. However, the bus was clean and comfortable and it ended up not being a big deal. Also, the half day tour was a bit short if you wanted a thorough tour of the entire structure and the gardens. However, it was perfect for our group.

Dan_B

Waiting for the bus in pouring rain with no shelter in the parking lot for 45 minutes. The walk in the garden was too windy and too long to be out in the winter

MARYANN_I

Versailles was amazing - our tour guide was informative & friendly. We had extra time to wander in the beautiful gardens.

Andrew_M

The guide was disorganised and her English was very poor to the extent all in our group of 12 could not understand most of what she said. To think we spent nearly $600 on this tour to find it was so bad, it was a shocking waste of money. We will be pursuing a refund through Viator complaint processes and, if necessary applying to Tribunals or the Courts to seek recompense for a grossly poor performance by Viator.

Claudia_R

Great tour! I’m so glad I went with them and not the other company I’d booked that cancelled my tour for no reason. Perre was fantastic!

Katie_C

Great tour! Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Coach bus was comfortable. Just be aware that this is a very crowded with tourists - but our guide kept us together wonderfully.

Mark_D

Our tour guide was great I especially like the hall of mirrors and Marie-Antoinette’s bedroom with the hidden doors I would highly recommend this tour to other people

Monica_D

Nice bus but only a tour in Palace, not gardens and skip the line was still very crowded. Good tour guide.

amy_s

The tour guide was great. She was wonderful and lovely, but the entire tour was a bit of a mess. The small group was very large and we had to wait out in the hot sun for a very long time with a lot of frustrated people / we did not have the appropriate earpieces for the tour at first and we did not have tickets for a while and we were very uninformed as to what was going on.—we missed a lot of our time that we could’ve been exploring and it was not a great experience.

Natalie_J

This was supposed to be a small tour with private transportation. We were put on a bus with another group. Our tour guide was good but we had to rush through the castle & gardens. Not a very good value for the price charged. Disappointed
