Awesome tour! - The Versailles palace was one of the most extraordinary places I have ever visited, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions as we went along, I would recommend an early morning tour as the palace crowds increased in the afternoon. I wish we would have stayed in the palace instead of rushing out to see the gardens. The gardens were awesome but the palace was UNBELIEVABLE!

Great Tour and Guide - A terrific and worthwhile trip; fairly close to Paris and seeing Versailles in person was incredible. Thanks to our guide Omar, who was not only funny and informative but resourceful. (I made the mistake of trying to get though the day on a cappuccino and half a croissant and got a little woozy during our visit, and he quickly produced a banana out of his bag which had me back to normal in a minute or two.) A must-see if you're visiting Paris and highly recommend this tour.

Versailles is Spectacular! - Versailles is beautiful. The gardens are spectacular, however you need a lot of time to explore. Our guide, Martha, was difficult to hear and sometimes advanced too far inside the palace and we lost connectiivity.

Skip this one! - First, we were 15 minutes early trying to find the location couldn’t find it then the guide left other people from the tour group tried to assist us, but I had to spend another $30 in a cab to try to meet up with them. They were gonna wait for us, they said they had tickets for 930. We got there at 9:32. It already disappeared so we only got to see part of it again. The other tour guides from the same agency helped us to be able to get in later. It was only an hour and a half , the pace is very rundown just was very underwhelming

Average - Too rushed. Guide was not good. We felt that enough information was not provided. The bus pickup afterwards was delayed too.
