Great experience and well worth the money! - Our tour guide Nick was fantastic and shared many details on the tour that were funny and interesting. His help was invaluable to get us there quickly and bypass the lines. Great experience and highly recommended vs just buying tickets and navigating lines.

Nice tour - Tour was interesting and the Chateau beautiful, the gardens not so much, it seems they are lacking maintenance, specially the fountain. Short distance from Paris so the half day tour was enough

Enjoyed the estate and the grounds even though it was really busy ( I guess to be expected) - Amazing inside and outside but saf to think they had know idea what was happening to the country. Glad I went but found it disturbing
