Apart from the coach being 25mins for the morning pick up the organisation was good. Guide around the palace was very good and got us through the crowds well.

We were very happy with the tour to Versailles; the guide was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We left and arrived right on time. I would definitely take the tour again.

Great wxperience with well educated guide. The only thing is that I would love to do it during summer time not winter as we did, because of the full potential of the gardens

This was absolutely everything I wanted and needed. Finding the meeting point was very easy. All trip personal were friendly. The bus was very nice and offered great photo ops. The tour guide was helpful and knowledgeable, this was third trip to Versailles and I still learned new facts. The full day trip was the perfect amount of time. I do recommend renting a golf cart for the gardens/the Trianons. I also recommend stopping at Angelina after the palace tour but before you exit. The meeting point on the way back was very clear and timely. It was very reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend anyone take this trip with this company specifically. I have been with other companies but this was the best and the guided part was my favorite.
