This tour will show you how grandiose and opulent the lifestyle of the fallen French monarch. Our guide, Ms. Flor, was experienced in giving this tour and knowledgeable about French history. After the chateau, you can visit the garden (ticket included) and you could ride the mini train (9 euros) to visit the highlights of the garden.
Our tour guide was very informative and entertaining making this a great tour. Although voucher stated 'garden' were included in the price this was not the case. We had to pay 20€ extra to see gardens. So be aware.
Kristina is a really nice and knowledgeable tour guide! we love her ! the tour itself only include the skip the line ticket ( which is awesome because we can entered the place in just 5-10 mins) and the guided tour of the Versailles ( around 1.5 hours max), then you got to pay 10 extra euro for the garden and spend maximum 2 hours there by yourself ( it’s advisable to take the golf cart for an hour if you are in a rush - another 42 euro extra ) we are a family of 6 and we enjoyed the half day tour very much! Wish we could enter the King’s private apartment too ( but seems on the website it can only be entered by the guided tour at 10am ) this trip I would recommend if you are in a rush and only have half day. next time would prefer going there by train and spend one day slowly there ( perhaps hiring a private tour guide too )
The guide whom guided us through the Palace was wonderful. He is detailed in his explanation and ensured all of us understand what he said. He was also considerate, moving us to a corner before explaining to avoid us blocking other visitors. It was an enjoyable trip. However, we would recommend for Klook to update the instruction on the meeting point. When we reached Hyatt Regency, we could not locate our point of contact. based on the instructions provided. It was only calling the Helpdesk did we realise we need to go to a nearby church to board the bus. The church location could have been stated in the instruction. Secondly, we were misled by the title of the tour. Based on what was described, we believed we had access to the Garden as well. When we reached the Palace, it turned out to be untrue and the guide on site explained to us this is a common issue. Nevertheless, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it was raining and access to the Garden would not be as fun as it would be. Nevertheless, the tour was nicely organised. We would recommend it but remember there may not be a Garden tour and you might have to purchase the ticket separately.
City Wonders tour were so patient, friendly and really nice. the bus was comfortable and even though it was jammed when we left Paris central, the driver navigated expertly. the local guide at the palace was really knowledgeable and especially patient with tourists yanking and pushing our group and him. overall the palace tour was really enjoyable. tip: gardens ground food were quite pricey if you compared it to Paris.
This incredibly large garden is a must-see to truly experience this place. If you have time, spend two or three hours exploring this backyard oasis for a very relaxing experience.
We entered via gate B and queued for about 30mins.. It was raining so it was important to keep warm. Guide Frederick was knowledgeable and told us many stories. We rented a buggy separately at our own cost. Great experience.
Tour guides share history of palace. interesting experience for this visit
