Reviews for Versailles Palace Guided Tour With Coach Transfer From Paris
Fantastic visit and must see gardens
Michal_L
Our guide shared unheard stories about the way people lived at Versailles particularly the Kings and Queens. The Hall of Mirrors was breathtaking
Coach was comfy
Sierra_P
The coach made it a quick and comfortable trip to Versailles. We got to see the rooms of the King & Marie Antoinette, and then time to ourselves to explore the garden before heading back to Paris on the coach.
Tour guide was informative and entertaining.
DON_L
Tour guide was informative and entertaining. But the Palace was extremely crowded with many rooms closed. Wife could not see anything. The gardens were a treat to experience after the rains quit and the sun made its presence known.
Worth a visit
Mark_P
Guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He explained things in a manner that was easily understood by all. Would recommend this company and trip if seeing Versailles is on your itinerary. Make sure to book a trip that allows time to roam the gardens.
Very unpleasant
Marina_D
The guide was not pleasant to ask the questions. We were waiting very long to enter the palace. We were not told to not to leave anything in the bus.
