Beautiful but patience is key. - Versailles is beautiful but so crowded. The bus picked up late and dropped off in the wrong location because of traffic. Clean bus. The staff was very nice and we were able to skip the line.

A beautiful place but a difficult tour - Incredibly long bus ride with many stops. Turned what could have been a 30 minute train ride into 1.5 hours. The Palace was crowded and guides only wore vests (no flags), impossible to find them in the crowd. The Palace is beautiful but incredibly crowded.

Overpriced…. Book online entry and own transportation instead - Being honest, and we have used Viator for many excursions and enjoyed every minute, but this excursion was extremely overpriced for what is offered compared to what you can book directly on your own. Buy the timed entry tickets directly from the Palace website, and use Uber or the train. With this excursion, you still end up in the same line based on the timed entry with everyone else. You are not skipping any lines at entry, aside from the entry ticket which you can do online prior. When I asked our guide about this, he replied that everyone skips the line. We regret paying so much extra for this excursion, which was basically the bus there, audio guide and access to the garden at the Palace. The Palace itself is lovely. Expect large crowds but we don’t regret visiting, and would recommend.

Good tour but couldn't understand the tour guide. - This was not a great tour. Even though it was very well organised and covered all of the key items at the Louvre, because I speak English and the tour guide had a very heavy Japanese accent which, when combined with all the background noise, made it virtually impossible to understand a word she said, so quite disappointing.

Rip off - I purchased a tour advertised as skip the line. It was not. We arrived late and had to wait, in a long line, for over an hour. Since we arrived so late, we did not return to Paris until the end of the day ruining our plans. I have done tours to Versailles before and never had such an awful experience.

Do not book, waste of money and time - Do not book this. you are basically paying for transportation We were picked up late, than dropped at the gate and left on your own. You still need to line up everywhere. I got no help at all from staff and was given a audio guise in chinese Basically you can just buy your own tickets and catch a bus, train or uber and there is no need for this so called tour We didnt have enough time to look and was pressed for time to get the bus back because we arrived late. Some people missed the bus We had to rush to be able to see everything in 4 hours and no time to eat Huge waste of money!!!!

Horrible experience - Bus had no Air Conditioning and we took a cab back. Horrible experience! Please look else where. They were not concerned about this and less worried about accommodating the situation.

It was a bust! - This tour turned into fiasco. I'm fast, I'm betting that this won't even get posted. It's was a cold, rainy day. We stood at the meeting point with the guide for about 30 minutes past the time the bus should have come and we should have left. Finally, we had to ask the guide what was going on. She said a bus couldn't come and they were sending Ubers. After another 20 minutes, 1 Uber showed up and was quickly filled, so we were left standing again. At the point, I asked for a refund and was told I would one, so we left. (Leaving Paris so late would take away and hour of our tour time) Neither the tour company, Magic Ways, will refund my money. In fact, they didn't even realize we didn't arrive in Versailles! I get a call at the leaving time along me to come to the bus, as if we were touring Versailles and we're just late getting the bus!
