Loved having transportation to and from and was easy to locate meeting points. Would have liked to have had a little more time to do the Tran around the gardens but overall, great experience!

The bus was there on time and we got to the palace with plenty of time to spare. I must have missed that this was not a guided tour, because I would have liked that. I was a bit lost going around the palace myself. Chalk it up to not reading the information correctly!

I liked that during the trip to Versailles there was an explanation of the sites we passed through, it was something I didn't expect, I thought it would just be a transfer. I also saved time in downloading the app at the ticket office because you explained it to us in advance, so I had the opportunity to review the guide and see what I was most interested in to plan my visit.

Too bad, despite online ticket over an hour waiting time at the entrance. Those who paid on site were inside faster
