The tour guide was great, but the site was a little underwelming. No real direction on how to walk the building and grounds.

Wow to see so much history and art work. Loved it all. My favorite was hall of mirrors. Great to download audio from an ap on your phone.

Definitely spend your time doing the gardens. So vast and large. We didn’t end up with enough time to see it all but absolutely beautiful. Versailles itself was large and amazing to see what it looked like centuries ago.

Incredibly overpriced for what it was. It offered a five hour trip to Versailles with one hour outbound and one hour inbound. We left at 8.15am and we were in Versailles by 8.45. We then were pointed to a queue for the 9.30am entry and were told we would be picked up at 11.50am. So basically by the time we gained entry we had just over two hours when the assumption was at least 3. There was also some mention of self guided audio tour which we never received. It would have worked out better to just get a ride to the palace and book separately and would have had much more time.

No real visit to Versailles—after waiting in line for a half hour, we had maybe 15 minutes in the site before a bomb threat evacuation and the closing of Versailles for the day. Then we stood on the pavement wondering how we were going to get back to Paris. Luckily we spotted someone from our tour and eventually made it on a bus and back to Paris. Altogether, very disappointing.
