So much easier than doing it on your own. Florian was great. He walked us through every step and was easy to understand.

Wonderful knowledgeable guide. Met the bus at 9am, Left Versailles at 6pm. Entirely too much walking and i enjoy walking. Lunch was disappointing, few selections. We wanted to sit for a nice meal, but too many people not enough staff, not enough time because waited in line 25/30 minutes and 25 minutes to serve. Guide discouraged because it was slow. The afternoon had too much walking in the gardens and waited too long for trains. Guide saud a few minutes, 30 minutes later. Tour was originally scheduled for 6 hours. We missed our evening event because this tour ended 9 hours later.
