    Versaille a must visit place
    Ross_P
    , Aug 2022
    The Palace of Versaille is a must see place. However this tour was less than optimal. The bus ride took too long as we followed another bus to a second pickup point although our bus was full. We then had to wait in line in full sun for 40mins until the 11.30 gate opened. Once inside it was very crowded. After 2 hrs we had had enough and wanted food. This meant we exited the Palace but could not get back in. Food options very limited to sandwiches and the like. The gardens were fabulous but not a lot of shade in places. Some of the foundations do play once every 15mins. The return bus ride was much quicker and drop off at start point as expected.

    This trip was a bit of false advertisement. It took well over an hour to get on the road. Tickets to Versailles were not skip the line, waited to get in with everyone else. Absolutely no commentary on the way and back. It was basically a transfer bus , except you had to wait for entire group to assemble. Not enough time was given for the palace and gardens tour. This was sold as Musical Fountains, but no music and no water in most of the fountains. Next time just take the train, and save yourself lots of just waiting around.

    Beautiful palace and gardens! Full of history and relaxing atmosphere. There were two buses and on the way back, it was a bit disorganized as everyone just piled on the bus and we had to wait for the second bus that had an extra stop because we were not able to take the original bus as others cut in line.

    The rooms were very interesting although quite bare of furniture and the guides were very nasty not very helpful. The audio guides were not functioning properly. A guide us definitely needed! After arriving we were not allowed to enter using the main entrance . We were made to walk around the block and enter thru a sude entrance! Rupert Amy

    You and your 3rd party companies are scams. Families rely on these type of services for a good experience, not a rip off

    Horrible 3rd party company. I had my driver take me from 4 seasons hotel to palace..where I saw the tickets were 8.00 each..you charged me 500 for 5 of us. You should be ashamed of your scam. Then we did our own tour..not even a tour giuide..you're company and the 3rd party scammed me bad here .

    A letdown of a Tour of one of the most famous palaces in the world

    , Jul 2022
    We were so excited based on reco's to visit Versailles. The tour was just bad, it was basically a bus ride with tickets. Limited guidance on how to best visit the site. Versailles was nice, have seen better palaces in other European countries.

    Transportation to and from the site was easy to find and guides were helpful. Audio guide worked well and otherwise we would have been wandering around not knowing what anything was. The code to punch in for each room should be more visible at the entrance to the room for crowded days.

    Not finding the tour group and not able to get a refund. We got to the Louvre,which is huge. Couldn’t find the tour group and had to spend more money to get into the Louvre. Very disappointing. Then the company would not refund our money.

    The Grandeur and Opulence of Versailles & Gardens
    Stacy_M
    , Jul 2022
    To experience the grandeur of Versailles is priceless. Definitely a must-see when visiting Paris. However, the tour company's staff was disorganized. They arrived 30 minutes late to the point of pick-up, resulting in the tour being cut short and rushed. In addition, we paid for the audio guide onsite, when it was to be included with ticket. I brought the detail to the attention of the staff and promised to be reimbursed for expense only to be informed that the tour went as planned. Dismayed that it our time and convenience was not a priority for the company facilitating the tour. Recommend researching a VIP tour because those I overheard were much more informative than the device we paid twice for and was difficult to find number to key in to device due to the crowd of people. Disappointed with the lack of organization and customer service. Company should hire more capable staff for the price paid. We'll visit Versailles again but opt for a VIP tour.

    Audio guides need improvement
    Michelle_R
    , Jul 2022
    I had noticed another tour company had the audio guides and passed them out to the group. I was disappointed that the directions of where to pick up the audio guide were different from where we picked them up. The guide did not have earphones, not convenient when wanting to take photos. Definitely could do a better job on this point.

    Dear Customer, Thank you for taking your time and sharing your opinion with us. As one can read in the information in our voucher, our tour includes, apart from the transfer service, the ticket to visit the castle and the gardens, and the audioguide. We do not offer earphones because the audioguide provided by the Château de Versailles is like a telephone and does not need any earphones connection. Best regards, Magic Ways Team

    Of course Versailles is amazing and this tour is a great way to get there. You have plenty of time to explore the palace and the gardens. Food is more accessible in the gardens as are bathrooms. The crowds were huge In the palace itself but it’s still doable.

    Getting into Versailles Palace & Garden was wonderful but with no thanks to the organisers . This was not a cheap tour and No one takes responsibility for a group waiting 1.5hrs for a bus that never came to Opera, Paris .. We finished, the few of the group who were still waiting, going ourselves by Metro to Versailles. Our tickets were still good so we got to see Palace & Gardens without any guides. The 3.45pm bus hadn't arrived when we came out to our meeting place but a tour guide was there with same story. Bus is coming. It arrived over an hour late. We boarded and headed to Paris. Before arriving the bus did a turnaround back to Versailles to collect a group whose bus had broken down. Finally arrived in Paris to be dropped off at Eiffel Tower where our tour guide informed us we have to take Metro back to Opera as the bus driver had another job. It was a very disappointing day and no contact has been made by Viator who this trip was booked with.. no recommendations from me for this business.
