Easy and enjoyable. - This was an easy and rewarding experience. The location to meet was easy to find. The walk to the bus was several blocks. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the inside tour very enjoyable. The gardens were amazing and we enjoyed exploring them on our own.

Great tour, leave extra time & tight spaces inside p - Amazing place, a must see. The tour itself & the guide were great. Sergio was our guide & he was so kind. The logistics of the bus… that was a little chaotic, took way longer than expected so leave yourself extra time after, don’t make dinner plans ahead of time… The gardens were beautiful & we walked all around, sat by the fountains. It was magical. The only complaint was that there were way too many tours at once, we kept loosing our guide, getting shoved around, not being able to see him, it was challenging to see much & each room was packed like sardines. That wasn’t in the companies control but it was just very overwhelming & the inside wasn’t as memorable because of that.

Palace interesting and gardens beautiful - Overall, very happy with staff members. Disappointed with having to walk 10-15 minutes to get on bus. Tour suppose to start at 1:15. Didn’t leave till 1:45. By the time we get to Versailles, get thru gate, we have little time to see gardens. Inside tour not enjoyable with too many people. Lost our guide at times. He should carry a flag stick so we can find him. Had to return to bus by 5:55 pm

Need New Disposable Headphones for Tour - Palace of Versailles was beautiful. Garden access was also beautiful and I would highly recommend anyone to visit. The only issue was the headphone that the GetYourGuide company provides to each patron. The palace is extremely busy and to communicate with each tour group, the tour leader hands out an audio receiver and a single disposable headphone. This headphone was very clearly the cheapest thing they could buy to give to each user and as a result, it was very difficult to hear what the tour guide was saying at any given time. It was loud, that wasn't the issue. The sound quality on the headphone was the issue and sometimes when the the guide would speak quickly, it was very difficult to hear what he was saying since the headphone was such low quality. Overall, the palace and gardens are definitely worth the visit, but it was difficult hearing the tour guide with the headphones they provide to each guest.
