It would have been nice to see more of the vast grounds. With the time given and being on foot, I only got a small taste of it.

Great way to see Versailles. Try to catch the fountain show, it's worth it. Two things that could have been improved - the guide doesn't carry around an item easily recognizable for following such as a flag so it is very hard to catch up with the group in the crowded rooms. Second thing - toilets on the bus cannot be used, which is a very bad thing since lining up to use the toilets in Versailles could take up the better part of an hour! There's also no toilets in the Viator meeting point, which is not very service-minded.

The guide was very pleasant and attentive to the group. However the microphone/earphone sets were new and not very good. It is difficult when there are large crowds, but the technology should be better. Indeed it would be impossible without some kind of audio support so the idea was good but the execution needs to be improved.

This is a great tour! The palace is an amazing sight! Our guide was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend that you go in spring when the gardens are in bloom and you can see the fountain show though.

We enjoyed this tour, but would have preferred to have longer. I would suggest the full day.

The tour guide was terrific. However, there was no fountain show as advertised. Also, it was quite crowded and we were hurried through the museum very quickly with guided tours in front of us and behind us. The palace itself was beautiful and amazing. A must see if you visit Paris. The tour was organized, it left on time and we returned on time. Again, the guide was really great.

The Versailles guided tour was excellent apart from confusion about the coach departure point.

Timely, short and pleasant bus ride out there and terrific guide at the palace. Could have maybe used another half an hour, but all in all, great tour!

We had a wonderful guide - knowledgeable and friendly. She even extended the tour to accommodate the group as the weather would not allow a pleasant stroll in the garden.

It was so crowed with wall-to-wall people, you couldn't even take a picture without being bumped and nudged. There was not enough time to look at the gardens. The tour guide was very nice.

Our tour guide was very informative and pleasant. The weather, unfortunately, did not permit the garden viewing. Unless it's peak season, I think going to Versailles on your own would be just as good.

The bus broke down. Our tour guide told us that we did not pay for the tour even though we did, so by the time we talked to other people in line and they told us we did pay for the tour at Versailles, and ended up in an hour-long line that we weren't supposed to wait in. We had missed everything except the last two rooms. Pay attention to what you book.

There was no water flowing at all. The statues in the gardens were covered. The tour was well organised; it would have been better with an extra hour of free time to enjoy the grounds.
