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.

The palace was great. Would have liked more time inside. The gardens were beautiful but nothing in bloom and chilly day, so just sat around till time to leave after a little walk. No commentary on or back from palace. Headphone interference constantly. Wouldn't recommend this one tour but be sure to go.

The trip was good, but we were disappointed that there was no German or French language on offer. On the website it says multilingual. At least a French or German audio guide should be available from the English-speaking tour guide.
