5.00Amazing experience . Definitely worth it ! The train ride was very convenient. The tour guide was knowledgeable and there are some food options in case travelling with family. They are all walkable and around Versailles palace. The garden even though optional is a must visit ! It's walkable and there are plenty of areas to sit down if one needs a small break. It also has some cafeterias inside for a quick bite!
