Great Tour! - The van was comfortable, the driver/guide, Nick, was safe, knowledgeable, and passionate about history. We were there early so crowds were low and we could really see the glory of the palace. We walked through the top of the gardens then had time to wander on our own a bit. It was a great tour!

Great tour! - Exactly as described and what we wanted! The transportation was smooth and efficient, we got in right away (skipped the line), and our tour guide was full of knowledge. We wanted a half day trip to Versailles (many options we see take the majority of your day and we only had so many days in Paris) so this was the perfect relatively quicker/more efficient visit for us!

Another wonder of the world - Versailles could be one of the “wonders of the world.” Nicholas got there early before the crowds which helped enhance the tour all the more. His narrative of the rooms functions/decor brought the palace to life. Our time in the garden marvelous visual spectacle/music playing until rain interrupted our time.

Compact efficient tour - Small tour number, good guide, comfortable drive there.
Good idea to check that the fountains are working on the day you go.

Not inspired - Pretty well organized … but not an inspired tour.
As is expected, lines, and lots of them are the main reasons this tour is not that good.
Even when you thought it was going to clear and allow good viewing another large group would crowd in and make it bumper to bumper people. Not pleasant.
The guide was good yet not totally inspired.
The company was easy to find and easy to get to our destination.
