Worth the Trip - Friendly, courteous driver got us to our scheduled guided tour in plenty of time. Even bought us "french" Croissants for the long drive from the pier. Versailles Palace is a magnificent palace with beautiful painted ceilings and tapestries. Highly recommend spending the day there. High praise to our Driver who was very accommodating, pleasant and knowledgeable.

Versailles palace tour - Amazing barely describes it. I heard it would approach a billion dollars to replicate this today. Every room is a masterpiece. The artwork and decor is one of a kind. Important: we have been twice at different times of the year. Do not just show up. Go with a tour or a reservation. The general admittance line will be 90 minutes plus. Highly recommend going. Very easy train ride from Paris then walk to Versailles.

Go early! It gets so busy and the queues are ENORMOUS. - The place is unbelievable and it absolutely takes your breath, however when we visited it was so crowded and we only had time to see a couple of rooms (at lightening pace). I would definitely advise getting a queue jump ticket as we stood in line for around 2 and a half hours (and it was glorious sunshine so we were baking). Definitely go and visit as the wow factor really does outweigh the negatives. Take some time to pre-plan and you will have an amazing time here.

Extremely Crowded and Disorganised - We pre-purchased tickets and waited in line for almost two hours. Once we got in, we were in a massive group of people, with hundreds behind us. There was no time to stop and enjoy the palace. People were constantly pushing behind you. Every other place we went had time stamps, in order to keep the crowds manageable. Whoever manages Versailles, is doing an extremely lousy job of it. I would not recommend it. There are many other amazing sites to see.
