It said that you have to be half an hour before but when you arrive there you have to wait in the line of your exact time. The lines are well organized and it have access to the gardens included (I don't know why the description said "optional". I went at the end of June and is very hot. If you plan goin to the gardens they have optional transport. A little shuttle cart (like a train) that covers half the gardens and make several stops and also mini golf carts for 4 people (more expensive). With the mini golf cart you can explore more of the gardens. The palace has a restaurant inside and a La Duree store. In the garden stops they have also a restaurant and gelato carts.

Ticketing experience was fine although you still have to queue to exchange your voucher. Organisational in Versailles sadly lacking. Hired an audio guide which didn't direct you where to begin following exit from ticket area. Staff unhelpful and by the time we reached the state apartments it was very crowded, wish we had started there. Mini train expensive at €9.50 each but worth doing to reach the restaurant at the end of gardens La Flottille. We were too late for lunch but enjoyed the afternoon menu, I had ravioli which was delicious and my husband had Parisian salad which was huge.

That the entry was timed so queues were not long . It was a very hot day 37 degrees, so we didn't want to wait long outside. But, what was not great was there were too many people allowed into Versailles at any one time. This should be limited & yes people do go slowly but it was far too crowded and not a great experience at all. when we were inside. That was disappointing. If entries are timed then other people should could come in at a later time. On our visit it was sometimes impossible to see things. Do that was not great.

    The tickets are basically printed out as badges and we just get scanned at every attraction. The combo is a very reasonably deal and the lunch was amazing. It was located half way of the tour so it works perfectly if you go in early. Don't forget to visit the Grand Trianon as we completed missed it by 2pm as we were too tired. We took the train out so it was easy.

    Everything went really well. The food was also good. Information about the tickets etc. was excellent. We were allowed into the castle 20 minutes beforehand. Great day at 35 degrees

    Everything went really well with the tickets from Headout. We had booked the transfer from Paris to our destination as well as entry to Versailles Palace and the gardens. We were greeted and briefed in a friendly manner at the meeting point. A bus took us to the Palace of Versailles on time. From then on, we were able to explore the palace and gardens on our own. It was possible to take a transfer back to Paris, but we didn't use it as we stayed there for a long time. A wonderful day.

    It is beautiful palace and amazing garden. I highly recommend to buy a ticket for little train which goes throw the garden, and there are a four stations. We took a boat and sailled throw the Grand Canale, visited Trianion and stayed all day in Versallis garden.
