Very easy and convenient. - This was a great tour. The meeting spot was easy to find. The staff was very helpful. The audio guide was informative and the palace was mind blowing. My only issue is the time was short return to the bus as I did not get enough time in the gardens as the palace was so big. Maybe closing off at 4:30 p.m. would be better.

Very nice activity with some areas for improvement - The activity was very good. Small catches: the meeting point given when booking did not correspond to the actual meeting point. Fortunately the guides looked for us. In addition, we were supposed to return to the meeting point on the way back when we were dropped off a kilometer away in an unknown corner. Finally, we would have taken an extra hour to visit the castle and gardens.

Beautiful but patience is key. - Versailles is beautiful but so crowded. The bus picked up late and dropped off in the wrong location because of traffic. Clean bus. The staff was very nice and we were able to skip the line.

Poorly organised - Poorly organized, no place on the bus home, forced to wait for an Uber. Not sitting with my spouse on the aisle trip. Very expensive for what it was.

Good but pricey - The tour ran on time and the bus was clean, the driver was very good. The guides were polite and spoke English and French. The tickets were advertised as "coupe-file", which translates to "skip the line" when in reality they were just tickets for the specific date/time and we still had to wait 45 minutes in line outside (being December, it was quite cold). Other than that, everything was smooth. Not sure it's worth the extra cost just for the transportation.

Good tour but couldn't understand the tour guide. - This was not a great tour. Even though it was very well organised and covered all of the key items at the Louvre, because I speak English and the tour guide had a very heavy Japanese accent which, when combined with all the background noise, made it virtually impossible to understand a word she said, so quite disappointing.

Shambles - Absolute shambles!! All was well before pick up. Got the tickets from the rep and then the bus came. Single seats available only so we sat split up. On the bus, a carryon of sorting tickets for those who had not got them. Off the bus we were instructed to get in a line, ‘a straight line!!’, which disintegrated as we went through bag check. When the line was reforming, other people joined it and they were told to move by the guides. Understandably these people were not going to move to let others in and basically stand behind a bus load of people. Some of us had 11.30 and some had 1.30 entry tickets which was confusing as the guides gave mixed instructions as they hoped to get us all in at 11.30. Ended up walking away in embarrassment! Entered the palace and when finished got an uber back home. Palace and gardens were amazing

Do not book, waste of money and time - Do not book this. you are basically paying for transportation We were picked up late, than dropped at the gate and left on your own. You still need to line up everywhere. I got no help at all from staff and was given a audio guise in chinese Basically you can just buy your own tickets and catch a bus, train or uber and there is no need for this so called tour We didnt have enough time to look and was pressed for time to get the bus back because we arrived late. Some people missed the bus We had to rush to be able to see everything in 4 hours and no time to eat Huge waste of money!!!!
