Traveler reviews
We arrived late for our tour due to heavy traffic in Paris. Fortunately, the tour guide from City Vision quickly arranged for us to join another tour. She escorted us to the Palace of Versailles and ensured we were settled with the new guide. This location is a must-visit when in Paris, but be sure to dedicate a full day to explore its vast grounds. I recommend taking the little train within the gardens, which allows for unlimited hop-on, hop-off access (just remember to keep your ticket receipt).
Highly Recommended! Meeting location was clear. Transportation was clean. Tour guide was easy to understand. You won't be able to see the entire Versailles within half day tour but it was enough to cover the important areas: The main palace and the gardens.
Great tour to explore golden palace and traditional French history. Easy access to the palace with the bus.
The one-day tour I participated in was a truly delightful experience! The tour leader was friendly and polite, taking meticulous care of everyone throughout the trip and ensuring everything was well-arranged, which made us feel at ease. The tour guide's explanations were clear, vivid, and engaging. Not only did they introduce the unique features of each attraction, but they also shared a lot about local culture and history, making the entire journey much more enriching. The itinerary was comfortable and flowed smoothly, never feeling rushed. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing trip, and I believe I'll join again if I have the chance!
The transfer service was convenient and punctual, but there was no tour guide. We had to download a free audio guide app, which was quite confusing. The palace grounds are truly enormous! A half-day tour is only enough time to see the exhibits. To explore the entire garden in detail, a full-day tour is necessary. The garden is beautiful and worth a thorough visit.
The tour guide was a bit lazy and didn't depart on time. Some of the information was incorrect and had to be corrected by other travelers. Overall, the tour was just so-so, and I might not use this service again!
comfortable bus. experience guide. clear instruction.
very convenient travel from paris especially priority access when arriving in versailles. tourguide was friendly and knowledgeable (sushima). Enough free time was also given to roam around the gardens. This is recommended if you want to save time; you get to paris mid day and have a whole afternoon to do other things.
