Informative but not sufficient time in the gardens.

Awesome guide. Loved his tour. TIP: There are literally 3 bathrooms in the whole of Versailles. While I was standing in the line for bathroom, fountains stopped operating. They only let it work 1 hour at a time, twice per day on weekends only. So, it is either the bathroom or the fountain show.

The tour is definitely worth doing. The guide was extremely nice but she was a bit long winded inside, so it didn't leave much time to view the fountains and gardens. Her English was good but there were many times when she struggled to find the words to explain everything.

A very impressive site and it amazed me how big the complex was and one can see why the revolution. Had to shuffle through the rooms because of the crowds doing what we were doing but that is no fault of the tour company. I would recommend a day trip and take a picnic lunch to enjoy in the magnificent gardens.

The tour guide gave far too many detailed explanations that there just wasn't time for. He also wasn't dressed in visible colours and as he was quite short as well, we actually lost him in the crowds in one of the rooms and never found him again until we had to meet at the bus hours later.

The bus ride to Versailles was very comfortable, and the narrative along the way was very informative. The tour moved too slowly for me because the group was medium-sized. On a sunny, warm day, I would highly recommend this tour.

We visited on Easter Sunday, and there were a lot of people. But going the group route was the best, as you could skip the long queue.

The coach was punctual. Unfortunately, the heating/AC was not functioning, so the windows steamed up. We had an excellent guide who gave an interesting tour. She took time out to ensure that each different nationality in the party was covered in her talks.

Versailles is beautiful even in the winter. My family, including my thirteen year old, found the palace tour very educational and informative. Versailles has such a colorful history. I can't wait to visit it again during the summer.

The tour was quick and simple. Nothing too fancy or extra done; just a basic introduction to Versailles. It did feel rushed, and we felt the guide didn't have time to answer all our questions.

The Versailles Palace is very big, and the tour was well organized. The garden was very beautiful. The view was very good, and plenty of photo opportunities. Worth visiting.
