The Versailles trip was well worth the cost. Despite rainy weather all afternoon, the tour went smoothly. I have taken three tours with this company and all have been worth the price.
This tour was the best tour that we went on throughout our entire trip. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the place and very friendly. The whole day was well planned and it didn't feel rushed like some others have felt. I would definitely recommend to all my friends.

I can only say the trip was phenomenal, and it is a must-see. The tour director was great, knowledgeable and personable. Worth every penny.
While Versailles is a fabulous place to see, getting there on a big bus was less than enjoyable and being herded through the place with a crush of people was not what I expected. Lunch was ok but took a lot of time away from viewing the castle. However, the time at the TriAnon was wonderful - enchanting place and worth all the negatives involved. That would be a great trip all by itself. Our guide was very good.

We did the whole day tour which showed us more of the grounds than just the palace. i was looking forward to the horse and cart ride advertised for Winter but apparently they have not done this for 2 years.
Excellent tour. Our guide Laurence (Sorry we can't remember how to spell it) was excellent also. Very informative and relaxed day with lunch at a lovely restaurant.
Minor hiccup at the beginning of the tour where we had to wait to get in, however it did not ruin the day. Versailles is beautiful and our tour guide was very knowledgable and told very interesting stories. DO THE FULL DAY TOUR!! you will spend a lot more time in the gardens and the pace is not rushed at all.

Versailles is wonderful. Our guide was wonderful in the castle and in the garden. We loved every minute of the all day walking tour. If you get the chance, be sure to see the fountains.
We had a wonderful guide for a group of 23. She was informative without being boring. Lunch was good.The extra free time to explore the grounds could never be long enough since the area is so massive. I would highly recommend this tour.
Palace tour was OK but too many people squeezing into the rooms. This should be managed better. We were not guided at the fountains show and so nearly missed the musical dancing fountains. We were not guided in the Gardens and so missed some of them. Trianons and Hamlet were great and these are a must on any tour of Versailles.
The tours and lunch were fantastic, and the guide was very professional and entertaining. Our only complaint was that we did not see the Fountain Show, even though we were there on Saturday when the shows were on. We were told that the schedule did not allow for it. However, we believe that rearranging a few items would have made it possible to see the show. Very disappointing.
Well worth the money we paid for the tour. The bus trip - better than expected, the tour guide great, they could work on improving the lunch. Was up to the standard of a good french lunch.
The trip to Versailles was excellent value for money, the three course lunch included was excellent. The interpreter in the morning was very good however the one in the afternoon was very poor. I got lost and he had no intrest in stopping to find me, my mother inlaw had to refuse to move another step before he decided to try and find me. His english was hard to understand.
great tour overall. our guide was very informative, gave lots of good information. only dissappointing part was that we didnt get to walk around Versailles garden, only through it on our way to dinner. Would have like more time to see a bit of the gardens. Dinner was good, maybe took a bit too long, (was a little over an hour) but its my opinion, i would rather see the sights than take a hour lunch! Long lines everywhere at Versailles, but with this tour we moved through them pretty quickly. Good tour for first time to Versailles tourists.
