I thought the tour of Versailles was great. It was Easter and very busy, however our group of about 25 managed the crowds easily with the guidance of the tour guide. She as very interesting and engaging throughout the whole tour- even gave us hints to be careful of pickpocketers. No need to go on a small private tour, it is always crowded so this one is fine. We did our own transportation and ate at the cute little places within walking distance.

Wow, did I have a bad experience with this tour group. I had to upgrade my tickets because there was nothing available for the 7 days I was going to be in Paris, they doubled in price. I then bought train ticked, the day before, to get to Versailles. The morning of the tour, we found out the train was not able to get to Versailles because they were doing work on the tracks. We would have to take a bus part way, train part way and then stop and take a bus, again part way to the destination. It was going to take 1 hour longer to get there than we had anticipated. The tour starts without you if you are not on time, and we were not going to get there on time for the start. I then looked into taking an Uber/Bolt to Versailles, at an unreasonable cost, but the La Vacanza Travel representative said that was too much money and he thought I would be able to get a refund of my money. I was told that it would take 24-72 hours for the refund. After contacting La Vacanza Travel 3 times asking about refund and 13 days, I was finally refused my refund. I do not recommend this company. I feel I was deceived into thinking if I did as their rep suggested, I would get my refund, but not only did I not get my refund, but felt ghosted by the company as well.

Unfortunately we were not able to do this tour. We met our tour guide at 10:30 as scheduled. By 12:15, we were still waiting outside the palace gates in a mob of people. Our tour guide, although very nice and obviously stressed by the crowded situation, still had not obtained the entry tickets. With three kids on the verge of collapse from waiting in a tight crowded of tourists in the sun, we had to abandon. We were never quite told what the hold-up was so communication was terrible and ultimately we had to decide to bail out. And the kicker? La Vacanza Travel refuses to give us a refund even though they failed to live up to their end of the bargain- over $338. In no world is it ok to make people wait for two hours with little explanation and no assurances that the tour will go on. Had the tour ride actually had our entry tickets in hand, we would have stayed longer but it was all just a disorganized mess.
