Great tour! - The tour guide (Francisco) was fantastic and very fun and informative. The tour was easy to find. We were very happy that we added the Garden Tickets for some self-exploration after the tour. We definitely recommend this tour!

Great tour! - Great tour. The guide was good and it is worth going through the palace at least once. Don't miss the gardens.

Sister trip to Versailles - So worth taking this your. Great tour guide but his name escapes me. He was a wealth of information with some added humour. Also loved not having to wait in line to get in. And enjoyed the gardens at our leisure. Overall great experience.

Great tour guide! - Francisco was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and told us in-depth information about the palace and the family. This tour was perfect for us as we didn't want to spend the entire day at the palace, we just wanted an abridged version and this was perfect. We are glad we got the tickets to the garden as well, it is very big though so this can also take up a lot of time too.

Guide was very good - It was a cold and windy day, so the gardens were not worthwhile, but our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Versailles Day - Our guide was great and very knowledgeable about the art pieces, however I would have preferred more info about the various rooms and decoration rather than who was depicted in each art piece.

Bad experience on tour - Got wheelchair went up elevator and tour guide nowhere to be found. Ended up going tour alone, tried to contact tour guide and he would not answer auto device. Also did not get to see garden which was part of the tour after paying for it. Tour was not completed. Requesting refund

Lost in translation… - There were 18 of us. Our guide lost 7 of us at the beginning of the hall of mirrors. Hence we spent the last part of our time, including the garden trying to figuring how to return the head sets. This was stressfull.
The tour guide needs to focus on maybe 4 important points for each room. And let people ask a question. The continually rambling was not effective.
Manage your group around other groups. Keep us together.
We lookec all over for our guide to returm the equipment. This made our garden experience less fruitful.
Finally found guide at exit with 6 other tour guests.
