It's a must if you want to see the palace! My family and I made it a day trip. It was a 30 min drive from Paris. Make sure to line up early because even if you have your tickets the line was still long. The audio guide came in handy and it was nice to learn the history. Make sure you use comfortable walking shoes since you are going to walking throughout the whole estate. Once you enter the gardens there are restaurants and they have really good food. Also if you want to splurge and a bit lazy to walk they offer golf cart and bike rentals to get around! Overall it was a great experience and it's a must!

With children aged 8 and 10, plan time to do the gardens (long journeys between places, pee breaks, lunch breaks, and children who drag their paws at some point). The visit to the castle was long for my children, they quickly dropped out despite the children's audio guide.

What a very nice tour! Our guide was Alex, he has so much passion for what he told! Learned an awful lot about the history of the city which really brings Prague to life!

Excellent experience with our guide Pavel!- learnt loads of interesting information about Prague’s old town and was thoroughly engaged in super spooky legends

We had an amazing Time! Daniel was the best! thank you for an amazing time!
