What people are saying about The Palace at Versailles Estate

Long queue to get in but did move very quickly, transport was great on time and the guide gave us a little history info on route. This was booked for my daughter’s birthday and she absolutely loved it! Shame the weather weren’t great as we really wanted to explore the gardens but only got half way round due to the rain! Not sure if you can take your own food in we didn’t and the restaurant options were not great!!! Expensive and didn’t have half the menu on order so would advise to bring in your own food.

Versailles was an amazing place to visit! Having the transportation definitely saved stress and allowed for plenty of time to explore the entire Palace. I would definitely recommend this experience.

This was well worth the money. Well organized and once you enter the chateau you are free to explore on your own with an audio guide. We really enjoyed and I recommend.

The experience has been very good, but the price is very high to bring only an audio guide.

Breathtaking! Guides were friendly and the app is very helpful!
