Title: Very Disappointing Versailles Tour – Poor Organization and No Refund We booked a guided tour of the Palace of Versailles for six people on October 10, 2026, through Buendía Travel & Tech. Unfortunately, what should have been a wonderful experience turned into a frustrating and disappointing day due to poor organization and problems with the delivery of our entrance tickets. Despite having a confirmed reservation, our tickets were not provided to us in a timely manner. We experienced unnecessary delays, confusion, and inconvenience that significantly affected our visit. Following the tour, we submitted multiple complaints explaining what happened and requesting compensation of €351. We contacted the companies involved and made every effort to resolve the matter professionally. Unfortunately, despite our repeated complaints and follow-ups, we have not received the requested refund. As travelers, we expect tour operators to honor their commitments, provide proper organization, and take responsibility when things go wrong. I am extremely disappointed with Buendía Travel & Tech’s handling of this situation and the lack of a satisfactory resolution. I would advise other travelers to be cautious when booking through this company, especially when purchasing tours that include entrance tickets and guided services.

Once the guided tour of the Gardens is over, you will have access to the Palace of Versailles where you can discover the history of the Sun King, the history of its buildings and its incredible gardens, the curiosities that make Versailles unique, the scandals that shook the monarchy and that led to the revolution. Once inside the Palace you can take as long as you like before returning to Paris.

Great, our guide, Denisse, made the tour very enjoyable. There's so much to see in Versailles; a thorough tour can take up to 2 days.
Veronica, our guide, was spectacular. She gave us in-depth information and insights to the gardens and palace. She has an amazing wealth of knowledge and made sure we understood and were engaged with the tour the entire time. She even took time to connect with our child and give them tips to make this trip exciting and interesting for them. I highly recommend this trip. We have gone on other guided trips and just got the basic information. This was not that kind of guide! It was a must to go to Versailles with this knowledgeable guide. Veronica even took time to make sure we got amazing family photos in perfect locations. It was the best experience.
Christina was an amazing tour guide! She has a love for the arts and gives us details that really bring the gardens and Versailles to life! We enjoyed this tour very much.
Gardens were great,,wish the spring wasn’t late and would have been even better. Our guide was wonderful and made for a nice visit The only thing was it wasn’t clear that it did not include the train ticket, the others in our group thought so also. It wasn’t a big deal to buy the tickets at the station and start out
Our guide met us and helped us with good commentary and directions. She was very knowledgeable. I wish she could have taught us thru the palace and not just the gardens.
We were fortunate enough to capture a few pics in the sunshine, even with the frigid weather and rain. Our guide was Richard Acero; his knowledge and gentle manner in working with my family were excellent! The Spanish guided tour illuminated the experience for us, and I highly recommend it to families.
The experience was excellent. Our guide, Lucia, accompanied us and kept an eye on the whole group. The interaction between history, curious facts of the place, culture and tour, made a beautiful visit. Highly recommended
We had to wait half an hour because a couple wasn't coming And they didn't warn that in the gardens you would walk 8 km on slope and stairs How we had the entrance to the palace at 1 h 30 m did not give us time to eat anything We leave late and the last rooms running Very bad organization
El guía súper amable, lo que te cuenta en la visita guiada está muy padre, datos importantes y apesar de Versalles es grandísimo te da tips para poder seguir tu recorrido al terminar la visita guiada.
Fue una muy linda excursión. Nuestra guía, Denisse.... muy atenta y responsable, cuidando de que no se perdiera nadie. Contó detalles con mucho entusiasmo. Evidentemente, disfruta de su trabajo.
Pued las explicaciones dobre la historia del palacio y dud jardines fueron muy interesantes y Paco lo hizo ameno y divertido
Excellent place and the guide was very good at helping to understand the context of the construction, with great and fun explanations
Recomiendo la excursión.El guía Fernando nos acompañó desde París.Fueron muy útiles sus consejos.Y muy interesantes sus aportes sobre Versalles.
Excelente el tour , el guía Fernando cordial, atento y muy conocedor de cada sector visitado. Nos brindó información muy interesante del palacio y sus alrededores. Muy profesional y muy ilustrado nuestro guía.
excelente guia fue un dia agotador pero SII...valió la pena recomiendo 100% esta experiencia sus jardines tuenen historias y luego al ingresar al.palacio comprendes todo lo que te dice el guía
What was offered has been fulfilled, the contact point was located without problems, the guide was very pleasant and efficient, despite the technical problems of the train, he knew how to solve it very well.
Me gustó la info de Denisse . Pero si yo sabía que tenía que sacar boleto de tren. Ir en tren y aparte pagar la audiología en el palacio y no tener guía adentro hacía la visita x mí cuenta . Así que no pienso recomendarla mala atención
Viaje cansador, perdimos la visita a los jardines y el guía prometió que nos devolverían parte del costo del tour, no recibí nada aún
El paseo por los jardines y la fascinante explicación de Paco. La conservación del castillo y los hermosos óleos q lo adornan, igualmente, los muebles.
Fue muy lindo compartir este viaje con mi hija y la guía que nos llevó fue una joven muy agradable y con gran disposición para cualquier consulta. Realmente la pasamos muy bien.
Definitely one of the best guides, if you can ask about Richard. He tells the story in a unique way, totally immerses you and you return time
