Only fault was that the Versailles apartments have not enough toilets to cater for the number of tourists. (And we were there in off peak).
Many thanks.

Every thing ok. Just one thing. It was raining quite heavily when we should enter the castle. Despite the rain we had to wait outside instead of either waiting in the bus or organising the entering system better so that everybody could wait inside the casle.

The tour guide was excellent with the use of the microphone. She spoke so gentle and eloquent. I will never forget her, her voice and my Versailles trip as always a pleasant trip.

Excellent guide, very good English, a lot of knowledge.
Bus was not very clean. Full of Japanese young people that talked all through the trip and did not allow us to listen to the guide on board.

The trip was great. Interesting commentary via the head phones on the trip out. Our English speaking tour guide was very knowledgable. Enjoyed having time to spend on my own. All in all a good experience.

We were very happy that we were able to see the apartments despite the general strike. However, the agents at the Cityrama office on Rue de Rivoli were all confused as to what was going on, and did not offer any alternatives if Versailles were to remain closed. They only said that we could go and view the gardens - for the same price! When I asked what my options were, the agent became angry - not what I would expect from a Cityrama agent in Paris.

Regardless, the tour guide was wonderful and very friendly. We were only sorry that the tour did not include the gardens, and we had to pay additional money to see them.

We were satisfied with the tour, but there was much confusion and lack of clarity on the website. I have been taking tours with Cityrama for over 20 years, so I was a bit surprised with this.

Our tour was wonderful and although it was extremely crowded in Versailles, she did her best to keep us together and pick out spots that we could stand in. Thanks for a wonderful tour!

A guia de língua portuguesa é muito atenciosa e checedora da história do palácio.
Demos sorte e o sol brilhou forte n hora de nossa visita.
Minha família e eu gostamos muito.

It was well organised. Our excursion occured to be private one, 'cause there were only 2 Russian persons in the bus. Well done.
