  I do not recommend this tour, it was the worst experience of our trip. First there was no communication from the vendor prior to, which is customary as I have been traveling for decades. The instructions on the site say that you will be collected at 830am in your lobby. We were there at 820 and I sent communication in the Viator app, as that was all I had at 820. Thus horribly rude man came into our lobby shouting at us at 822am, asking what my name was. I said yes and he said why didn’t I notify the bell captain I was there and why haven’t you been answering WhatsApp, I informed him, I don’t have WhatsApp and we are early not late, why are you shouting at us in our lobby, this is unacceptable and needs to shout. I think the man has never had someone tell him to stop, because he just looked at me and opened the door to the car. He then drove like a mad man, almost ran over a bicyclist. I sent a message to Viator and his boss replied, he was just probably worried about being late. I replied back it’s poor customer service to shout at your customers for no good reason. As we started this very expensive private tour he was more about chatting with his friends and he would cut in front of people to the front and then wave us forward, this did not go over well with other visitors. I took some pictures and he asked me why I wasn’t taking more pictures, I replied I was taking pictures special to me, he then informed me, for this price I should take more. On our way out of the venue, my husband asked him if he did this tour every day, he commented back “ I hate Versailles, if I had to do this tour every day I would kill myself”. We then got in car and drove back, the owner had called in the car to see how I was after I had sent the second communication and wanted to basically know what I was going to put in a review. We got out of the car and yes no tip, I will say I have always tipped as it’s hard work, but this was a train wreck. Avoid with all costs!

  Amazing opulence! Would need days to admire the details of the work inside the castle. Guide was pleasant, and we were lucky to be the first inside after a short strike.

• We had a wonderful time...

  We had a wonderful time with our guide. Being picked up at our hotel and then having the skip the line tickets really took the stress out of the experience. He took us through the house and then part of the exterior and then left us on our own to explore the gardens. Which was nice to have some time with just us. In a perfect world I wish I would have had more time to see the hamlet and larger parts of estate but we didn't have time in our itinerary anyways. Would highly recommend this experience.

• Great Tour
