Versailles - Our booked tour of the palace via the Tour Guy with Rawda was terrific. She was amazing and explained many facts about the history and events that occurred. You would be lucky to have her as your guide!

The palace grounds and... - The palace grounds and building itself were stunning. The tour operator, Tour Guy, were disorganized and late. Specific instructions were to arrive promptly at 8:45am. Arrived at 8:40am at the designated spot. 9:05am I received a text message from Olga asking we were located as they were looking for our group. After confirming my location per their directions she replied they’ll be there shortly. 10 mins later I asked via text were is our tour group reply, almost there. So at 9:15, 30 mins later, the tour guides arrived and begin a process of handing out earpieces. Never any apologies regarding tardiness or explanation. So we ended up entering the palace 30 past our ticket time. The tour guide was fine and pleasant except it was difficult to understand him with a strong Asian accent. He was very dry and mechanical in his speech. At times I felt like I was in a boring college lecture about French history. Overall I would do this again but would like a more organized tour group.

Tour Guy = Non-Friendly Guide - When paying for a tour guide, one would hope the tour guide is knowledgeable and friendly. That doesn't seem to be the case with the Tour Guy. We had the worst experience with what we hoped would be a very excellent tour of Versailles. This was the one tour we were most excited about and we ended up with the rudest tour guide that literally yelled at my husband and accused him of not being able to follow simple directions which was keeping up with her in an area of several hundred people after she had removed the jacket she had been wearing and wasn't holding a flag to identify herself. It's hard to recover after being embarrassed in front of tons of people.
