A good guide on the coach and the Palace is amazing

Enjoyed the trip and certainly queues for us were reasonably short, even though it was a busy Sunday The gardens were a disappointment as there were no sign posts, no stewards to ask and no seating. The map we were issued with did not seem to relate to what we could see and didn't indicate where we were. We only came across the train after it was too late to join the queue to take it. We were let down badly on the return journey as the coach did not return us to our starting point as promised in your e-mail of 13th May. They finished at the Opera and refused to carry on. We walked a good distance to find a taxi with no luck and back at the Opera Metro the entrance to the line we wanted was closed and we had to walk some distance to the other entrance. it was very hot and we are both in our 80s and were extremely tired. Our tickets cost 7.50 Euro. Most of the above not your fault except for the let down at the end

For us, the best way to have seen Versailles was with the self-guided tour. However, Versailles itself, was way overcrowded and this put a damper on our viewing pleasure--but this has nothing to do with the tour company. Everything with them worked out fairly well. They picked us up at the designated meeting point and got us in, although it did take about 45 minutes standing in a light rain. Again, this was due to heavy crowds. The 7 hour time they give you is deceiving--that includes transportation and waiting in line time. We had about 3 hours to view Versailles in the end.

Had a wonderful time at the Palace

My only complaint was the lack of directions for the pick up point. "Facing the bakery" is not an ideal phrase when there are bakeries all over. Maybe making sure to name which bakery you would like the group to meet at would be better. My friend and I stood at the wrong corner of the busy intersection in front of a different bakery due to lack of name. Other then that we had a good time once we got there.
