I missed my tour due to unforseen circumstances and the company is refusing to wor with me on any resolution other than eat the money shelled out for the tour. I have emailed and talked to several people with City Connect and they are rude and unbending. I will never book with this company again for a tour and I am hoping I will get the see Versailles one day.

Maxim our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. 90 minutes was just the right time for kids. We took a break and toured the rest of the palace on our own before exploring the gardens.

We missed our time by 5 min guide had already left without us. Train delayed due to strikes. They refused to give us a credit or refund had to pay for individual tickets. Horrible experience with this company.

Due to the unpredictable Paris transit we arrived a little late. We called explained that we were okay with missing whatever we missed we just wanted to be able to get inside. They were no help didn’t offer us a spot in a later group or just an entry ticket into Versailles. We asked for at least a refund and they said no. It was extremely disappointing. We had to buy tickets through Versailles and that’s what I would recommend people do after this experience. I booked the louvre through visitor and it was great, very easy. This one seemed to be full of issues.
