We had a great time at Versailles. I do wish there were better instructions for using an all day ticket. Things like where the Trianon compound is and what is in there. We thought that the Queen's Hamlet was outside of Petite Trianon, so we exited, and could not get back in to see it, so we missed out and that's a big bummer. Also, leaving the actual palace, we didn't know we couldn't get back in after going outside. Those kinds of things are really important to know if you are going to spend all day there. But overall, it was beautiful and it's super interesting and we had a really nice day.

Really good. However I wish I had book the full day as there were a lot of things to see in Versailles!

The price included transportation and tickets for both the palace and gardens. We could go at our own pace. We did go on a very crowded day but we were able to enjoy most of the visit.
