Better to take train yourself to get there…. Bus trip too long because tour company (get your guide) takes attendance repeatedly… problem /delay with bus when we left Versailles but we were given no information . Guide (Mauro) was wonderful but logistics of trip very poorly planned. We paid for access to gardens but had very little time to view….

It was longer than I expected (over 5 hours start to finish). However the guide at the palace was very knowledgeable.

What a magical day at Versailles! The half day tour was a good amount of time if you are on a short trip. We could have spent hours and hours roaming the garden. The tour guide was good and the bus was spacious and comfortable. We left and arrived on time!

Spectacular site. Thankfully it was still off season, so it was relatively not crowded, and the temperature was cool. If it was hot and crowded the experience would have been diminished.

We did the full day tour at Versailles (palace, gardens, Petit Trianon) and came out inspired. It will be a long day, but it was totally worth it to finish in Marie Antoinette’s gardens and hamlet. The weather was perfect, and our guide Vladina was knowledgeable, funny, and very kind! The pace wasn’t too crazy and our group of 10 was the perfect size to navigate the crowds. Highly recommend doing a full tour if you want to experience both sides of Versailles-Louis XIV’s perspective and Marie Antoinette’s.
