Doing what: Versailles Independent Day Trip from Paris

Versilles was a really worth while trip.wonderful to see.My only complaint would be I felt 1 more hoiur would have given us a chance to see the gardens we missed that because there was so much to see inside Robyn W

This is the way to see Versailles! We skipped the lines and went right in. We were meet by another guide who took us through the Palace. She was ver knowledgeable. We then had a few hours to wander around the gardens and have lunch. It was a chilly overcast day when we were there and Paris was just starting to get green so I can imagine the gardens would have been gorgeous a week or two later. Still a nice pleasant few hours walking around the gardens and seeing all of the fountains.

I booked this by mistake. I wanted a guided tour. This one is a self-guided audio tour. The package does include transportation from your hotel. The driver was very entertaining and on time. Versailles isn't bad either.

The tour company was well organised and handled the group well. Versailles is amazing, pity we had to go through it with through it so quickly. It was difficult to take photo's, just appreciate the detail and keep up with the guide simultaneously. Having the audio aid helped a lot.

Good trip however bus had no identification as advised it would so difficulty establishing it was our bus. Alexi (our Viator guide just new and learning the ropes). Advised to meet at Italian restaurant at the end but turned out there were two. Not clear instruction. Versailles guide replacement as designated guide didn't show was amazing. Worth doing but very expensive.

The driver turned up unacceptably late. The guide at versailles also left us waiting for another hour and then abandoned us for another group (who spoke French). Thoroughly unacceptable

Tour guide was good, but this tour is simply not worth what you pay for it. Your basically paying for a taxi ride to and from Versaille as they just drop you off there to be on your own. Tickets for Versaille cost a fraction of the amount of the tour, and the line wasn't long anyways. Your better off just getting a taxi and buying tickets yourself to Versaille and eating a great lunch/dinner and still saving money over this tour.

I was so disappointed with this tour, particularly given the incredibly high price. The tour promised a fluent English-speaking guide at Versailles, but instead we had to deal with 2+ hours of a poor woman struggling through broken English. It was incredibly difficult to understand what she was saying, and given that so much of the tour involved her speaking, I easily grew restless and bored. I also felt that the tour itself was disorganized, there was quite a bit of waiting around before and after the guided tour bit. The only thing that met my expectations on this tour was being able to go behind the ropes to see the royal quarters- that was very cool. But at the price, and with the annoyance of having to deal with a disorganized tour group and a Versailles guide who was struggling with her English the entire time, I definitely do not recommend.

Doing what: Versailles Guided Tour with Optional Fountain Show

Despite leaving 20minutes late, there was plenty of time to see the Palace. However, as we were there only for the morning half day so didn't pay for the garden fountain show in the afternoon, there is a very, very restricted view of only one small garden. Do not choose this tour if you want to see the gardens (which, unfortunately, we did). The guide was very good and efficient to make up time from the late start.

Pick up was OK. But the return was frustrating although I made it on time. The driver could have given more specific information about the departing spot. He only pointed out the hotel and told us that we were to meet there. He did not give us a name of the hotel. I was lost and wasted 20 minutes looking around, Eventually, I went to the Versailles Information Center where they gave me the name of the hotel and the directions. It was good that they are familiar with the company's name and pick up spot or else I would have missed the return ride.

Our tour guide was informative, kind ,and personal. We were transported to/from our hotel which made the trip more enjoyable.It was a great experience. The highlight of our Paris stay. We would recommend this tour company to anyone.

Our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable. Her English was very good and she was able to answer every question we had for her. Very interesting.
A friend mentioned a carriage museum at Versailles which I was sorry to have missed but it is a long day as it is
