Not that great. The palace and gardens are beautiful, but there were so many people that it was really hard to move from room to room. After 2 and a half hours we were not even through the whole palace due to restriction of movement. Transport to and from Versailles was good. Comfortable, on time. We did receive tickets, but still had to stand in a queue to get in that took 10 minutes or more due to the masses of people at the palace.

Transportation was easy and efficient, well worth the month. 1/2 day was just right because Versailles can be a lot, especially when it gets busy. Lots of rude people come through, making it difficult to enjoy at times… but that’s not the trip host’s fault. Make sure to go with the AM tour if you want to avoid the crowd 😊

Everyone who travels to France must go To Versailles it is mind blowing but at the same time a real eye opener as to how the nobility lived with excesses compared to the ordinary citizens. Still a must see!!! Purely for the craftsmanship involved in the construction.
