We were unable to skip the line and therefore had to wait in line like everyone else. I asked to use the bathroom twice before the tour started and wasn’t given the opportunity to do so. Even though our guide spoke English, I found it difficult to understand what she was saying. She spoke fast and it wasn’t always clear what she was trying to explain. This was pretty frustrating. I was disappointed with my experience.

With out a doubt the worst tour I have ever taken....we booked the early AM to avoid the crowd were on time as we're 25 other people... our guide was 2 hours late.. said that due to the strike.. ok you've got 25 people waiting for you take an uber.the skip the line feature was actually 45 minutes long. The main entry was 5 min very poor communication.....never again...

Blondeau was our guide and overall she did a wonderful job at giving us a great tour and overcoming some obstacles. The tour gave us a GPS meeting point that was unfortunately 10 mins away from were we actually had to meet. Fortunately a local was able to point us the right way and mentioned that a lot of people get that wrong GPS direction a lot. After finally meeting up with Blondeau, she did mention that France was currently going through a national strike and unfortunately for us Thursdays are their national strike day. This meant that the Versailles Palace opening was delayed by an hour. Blondeau kept our spirits up and once we were able to get the tour started, she did her very best to get us through the tour knowing we now had less time and because of the delay everyone was entering at the same time. The palace itself was grand, beautiful, opulent and over the top. Hall of mirrors is spectacular and the gardens is well worth the upgrade. Definitely worth a visit. One tip I would offer is to look for a tour that includes the transportation to and from versailles. We opted for a tour where we had to find our own way to versailles from Paris. While only about a 50 minute trip, it did include multiple transfers and multiple modes of transportation. In retrospect being a first tome visitor I would have opted to meet in Paris and get transported from there, but if you have experience it should be easy enough to handle on your own.

Our guide was very informative. But the venue was too crowded and it was difficult to enjoy the spectacular rooms on display. Skip the line? We were waiting for a long time as multiple groups were queued to enter.
