ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! Our tour was cancelled, skip the queue and tickets to the louve cancelled WITHOUT any prior notification from the company - City Wonders. I cannot stress enough, do not use and do not waste your time! We arrived on time and at the correct location to be told that our tour AND tickets to the louve (on one of the busiest days of the year) had been cancelled! Whilst I can understand and accept logistical issues resulting in the cancelation, the mere fact that they did not even bother to attempt to contact us before hand, explain the situation and at the very least offer to keep the tickets for us and let us experience the tour by ourselves, they rather made us travel all the way to Paris and have us wait in a 2 hour queue to buy tickets ourselves. This tour and company is a joke. If you want a really professional tour operator please rather consider using Get your guide, we used them the day before at Versailles and they were nothing short of outstanding!
We did have a bad time

It was supposed to be a nice tour but try to arrange transport well ahead of time. We were waiting for line C to pass by for almost three hours. Of course we lost our tour !! We and several others waiting to get to Versailles had to wait or decided to take a bus We found some of those there.
We were given tickets to skip the line and try to make it up with a audio machine
It was not even close and lost half or more of what we paid for

The original tour date was cancelled the day before the tour. Luckily i found a replacement tour same day otherwise it would have been a disaster as i was traveling with family from the US as this tour was so much a part of the itinerary.
The tour guide Francesco was very good. More than made up for the earlier disappointment. He added humor to the tour and made it more interesting.
Excellent Tour! Ask for Joanna!

FYI the Get Your Guide shopfront is across the road from KFC. Their office is very easy to find across the road from Chateau Versailles Rive Gauche train station.
With the poetic & melodious speaking style of Anna-Sophie to guide your way, you are going to feel stepped back in time as she gives you all the insider tips and gossip of the day. With earphones and receivers you can be as close or as far as you like and have the freedom to view all aspects of each room. This was a fantastic tour and well worth the very reasonable price. Try to get there early though as people are still trying to get in even when you are leaving. The earlier you are the better your photos will be. After the tour your guide will tell you about other areas inside the palace, these areas are worth viewing as there is still so much more to see. Remember to stay in the house & courtyard as once you are in the garden you can't come back in. Also avoid the week before school holidays as there will be many school groups taking tours.
Fabulous tour with Francesco!

Our guide was really good. She provided some very interesting facts along the way. The palace is incredible regardless of your expectations. The gardens were beautiful. I strongly suggest getting a golf cart to tour the gardens especially if you have kids. It’s well worth the cost. We wanted to rent a row boat but ran out of time so go early if you can. It’s a great day trip so put it on your list!
Barbara is Amazing!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
