Lovely day exploring and guide on bus, and who helped with entering and getting through security was a clear communicator. I recommend this tour.

Versailles is on everyone’s list when they visit Paris. If you enjoy over the top oppulance, lots of gold glitzy stuff, crystal chandeliers and hoards of mediocre portraits of French royals don’t miss it! The best part of the tour for me was the Grand and Petit Trianons, (a smaller trolley takes you there), the smaller palaces and grounds favored by Marie Antoinette.They were lovely. The gardens are beautiful and delightful to wander around in. Sadly because we visited in September I’m guessing, the fountains were not turned on so I advise going earlier in the year to fully appreciate their grandeur. I did enjoy going out to Versailles in a comfortable tour bus and not having to stick with the group, with the ability to roam about on our own.
I would NOT describe this as a tour. I would describe it as a bus ride to the site because you were dropped off by the tour guide and she leaves, then returns to pick you up at 5 PM. You were left on your own to rent the earphones which direct you at the tour site. The better tour guides had microphones they spoke into and you could hear what they were saying with earplugs. So no, I was rather disappointed with this tour. I would not book it again.
Be prepared for Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes. The gardens are lovely. The palace tour was fantastic!
Ride there was good, its audio guide only. It costs a lot to do everything on your own. Don’t waste your time on a full day as it’s not worth it, especially mid summer. If you can buy the ticket yourself, go that way.
This was a good excursion. Our guide, Beatrice, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Her instructions were very clear as to pick up times and a phone number was offered in case of emergency. The half day tour was more than enough time to see the palace and gardens. I would recommend spring or fall more than summer, as it was very hot.
All you are getting is a bus ride and ticket! You may think you're getting a tour guide, but as mentioned before don't be surprised.
Palace and gardens well worth the visit. As far as the experience it was just a ride out there with little to no information.
Great way to visit Versailles !! Bus was clean and on time, host was super nice. Palace is so huge and beautiful! Loved it !
Great way to get to Versailles. Would recommend renting an audio tour from the Palace, as the app from the tour operator was very amateur. The points of interest were not numbered on the map so was very awkward to use.
Lots of walking. Take a water bottle with you. If it was crowded in May, I wouldn’t go in July or August.
Great time the place is amazing . The times they posted to leave were wrong. They said 8:25 a.m. we had to walk 3 minutes to our busses location we didn't leave till 9:00 a.m.
The gardens were spectacular. Take the full day enjoy it all. The bus was late. Delayed the museum was beautiful
Very good experience Good service Good prices Very interesting place Service was great Bathrooms were clean
Versailles is amazing! It shows the grandeur of the Royals with the 100s of paintings and portraits. The gardens are spectacular. I do believe we could have easily done the tour without purchasing the “guide”. This tour is basically an expensive bus ride (which was late) to/from. That being said, arrive at opening time for tix or purchase in advance. It gets quite busy after that!
Even though the wrong address was on the meeting place, I found it by walking around. The bus was real nice and the entrance to the Palace went efficient and easy. The guide “B”, she said to call her was knowledgeable and very nice. Took us right to the entrance and made sure we knew where to be picked up.
Nothing provided but the bus ride to Versailles and the tickets, but that is as advertised. The ride was comfortable and on time.
Misleading advertising. In the title of the tour they promote it says: From Paris: Palace and gardens of Versailles with transport Palace and Gardens Half Day Trip Duration: 5.5 a.m. English With the unpleasant surprise that when we arrived at the offices of get your guide we found out that in the small print it said that the tour was with audio guide. That is, for 3 people I paid for a transport, entrance to the palace of Versailles and access to an audio guide application. Basically it was an entrance without any guide, with an audio guide that did not match the numbers of each gallery. Definitely that fee is high, not worth it, it would have been the same to arrive on our own, even better, accessing an audio guide of the palace itself where the numbers of the galleries if it matches. The experience becomes worse, because when you return to the meeting point, at the agreed time: 2pm, we had to wait a few minutes, the group manager, a woman who identified herself as Salome told my father that it was disrespectful because he asked that because we were waiting for people who had not arrived on time. Which I find rather disrespectful to people who did arrive early having to wait for those irresponsible who arrived later. Finally Mrs. Salome, at 2:05pm, leads the group to the bus, and says to my father (an elderly gentleman): Let's go crazy guy! Even more disrespectful. I definitely do not recommend this agency to get your guide.
Bien que j’avais sélectionné comme langue FRANÇAIS, le guide n’a parlé qu’en anglais et espagnol, déçue….
Nous avons adoré, le point de rencontres était facile à trouver, pas eu aucun problème de billets notre guide avait tout ça je recommande
The Paris-Versailles trip went well. The organisers had booked tickets for 11.30am when we arrived before 11am and queued up, standing in the courtyard in the rain waiting for the time. We had booked audio guides and we were 2 adults and 4 children. I hear there are audio guides for children but we have not been offered them. If you visit listening to the audio guide's comments, the tour lasts three hours and we had to reach the bus back at 3:45 pm. So we didn't have time to visit the gardens even though we had paid the garden ticket great waters. For the price paid we were not even entitled to visit the Trianon. The driver was impatient to leave and we returned to Paris before the announced time. We opted for this solution because with the four children aged 9 to 12, we thought it would be more convenient but we regretted our choice. We would have been better off buying our passport tickets and taking public transportation to get to the scene, it would have saved us money and we would have been free to visit as we please, as long as we wanted
