I liked the chateau but didn’t get to see enough in allotted time. The train around the gardens was recommended and we paid an additional 8.50€ for that. All it was was a very bumpy ride picking people up at various stops and returning. We saw absolutely nothing of gardens on that ride. It was extremely disappointing and a total waste of money

It was an interesting experience. The tour at 8:30 a.m. allowed us to arrive there before it was too full. The tour consists of transportation, audioguide and we had someone who gave us information about Paris and the history of Versailles while we were still driving to the Chateau. They left us in front of the entrance with the tickets and came back to the meeting point at the time previously agreed upon. You should take into consideration if you are fit enough to do the longer tour. I booked the half day tour and was satisfied with the experience, however a good part of the group that was supposed to drive later back to Paris decided to drive back earlier (which caused them stress because they couldn't all fit in and some had to wait 45 min outside for the next bus).

The tour guide lady was very friendly. The Palace was great but maybe it's worth spending the whole day there if you want to see everything. We went on a Saturday and it was packed!! Staff at the museum wouldn't control the crowds and you could hardly breathe. They are not bothered at all if there's a huge crowd in a hall ... Not suitable for old people over 70...Huge que at the restaurant. Don't rely on the bus schedule on your way back and be prepared to return later than you are supposed to.
