We really prepared and planned our Day trip to Versailles from Paris. We learned that RER C wasn’t running on the time we were there in preparation for the Olympics, so my husband and my son researched well. Our stop was Versailles-Chantier Station then we took the bus that stopped 2 blocks from the Palace. We were half an hour late for our timed entry but they included us into the proper queue of our supposed timed entry. It probably took us 20 minutes to get in. Then we downloaded the app “Chateau de Versailles” for audio guide tour. We headed straight to the Hall of Mirrors, and lingered there because we could miss the rest, but not this hall. I needed to soak it in, including the ceiling, displaying the Sun King’s achievements. Another impressive Hall, was The Gallery of Great Battles. We had lunch in Angelina. Then we rented a golfcart to check out the gardens and the petit Trianon including the Queen’s Hamlet. A freshly squeezed oj somewhere in the gardens. We could have waited for the musical fountains, But we decided to head back to Paris and experience Montmartre. Personally, I prefer Fontainbleu and yet I feel that Versailles is worth a visit.

Well worth a day here and we walked miles. I purchased in advanced the year duo ticket online, as it gave us access everywhere and no queuing involved. We were pleasantly surprised that in August it wasn’t that busy but we did arrive when the gates opened. Do make the effort to explore the gardens as the Le Grand Trianon, and the Hamlet is well worth the visit.

Indescribable. Must see to comprehend the opulence beyond comparison. Totally worth the visit of the palace. The gardens are worth seeing from a distance, which give you a better scale of the extravagance. The tram tour is not worth the extra cost; no narration or exposure unless you get off. Allow 2-3 hours; lots of large spaces to navigate.

Amazing building and land - it is definitely worth the visit. Timed tickets worked very well. They do have golf carts to rent as walking this place can take all day. We walked and got 14.67 miles in for the day. The restaurant on site there was very good. Just the size of this place was mind boggling.

We loved our visit to Versailles. The Palace and gardens are stunning. We used the audio guide on the app which was really interesting and also gave a lot of context for the paintings in each room. It also covered both the history of the royal family and the Napoleonic War. We had a timed ticket for 9am and we got in pretty promptly and the palace wasn't too busy. The only downside is that it wasn't clear that you couldn't enter the downstairs rooms once you've been upstairs to see the state apartments so we ended up missing them. We also went for lunch at Angelina's which was very busy. The gardens are fantastic and again there are multiple audio guides. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to visit the Trianon but we will definitely be back.

The website says things are accessible, but the reality is that it's not. You need to be able to manage over cobblestones, gravel and stairs. The train is not disabled-friendly, offering a step stool to board. Electric carts are first-come, first-served regardless of ability to walk long distances. Staff were unhelpful when asked questions. It was a disappointing visit

This palace is insane! It's massive and every room is so ornate. Incredible artwork everywhere. And of course the legenday Hall of Mirrors. Absolutely worth the trip. Of course it was crowded so bring your patience. I strongly recommend that you do a guided tour. There were so many details that we would have missed without our guide. Block off half your day to visit this palace. It's located about 30 minutes outside of Paris. You can get there by metro but you can Uber there too if you just want to get there like we did.

Versailles palace and especially the gardens are worth a visit as it is beautiful and full of history as long as you are prepare for long ques and lots of people. We were recommended to get the tickets from either the tourist office or if you are organised, book on line as early as you can. Unfortunately the tourist office had sold out, so we had to join a long que at the palace to get tickets. It took an hour on a very hot day. The gardens are amazing and there is lots to see. Take your time and explore as it is worth it. The café was very busy but if you have brought a bottle of water and run out of water, ask them to show you where you can fill up your water bottle for free.

We bought a guided tour that started around 2:30 pm which was great but at the same time not great. Great cos the tour guide told us a lot of informations about the history of the palace and some rooms while touring, aside from some Parisian jokes. Not great cos we started late so we did not really get a chance to see the whole palace cos we ran out of time. This place is so massive that you will need a full day to see and appreciate its beauty. The Hall of Mirrors is just so captivatingly magnificent. We were lucky to see it at the end of the tour times cos there were very less tourists. Before exiting, you will pass by the souvenir shop and the Laduree macaron stall which is irresistible of course. Before the tour guide left us on our own, cos she had to guide some to the massive garden, she told us we can go up and down or back to the rooms that we wished to see again and NEVER go through the EXIT door cos you can not come inside again. The ticket is only one use, once you’re out, you’re out. So I advise you not to go to the gardens cos this will lead you to the souvenir shop and Laduree ship which is where the toilets are as well, cos this will lead you OUT. Go to this only if you’ve decided to finally exit the palace. But mind you, cos there is like a one way direction during the tour so better ask if you can go both ways in some areas.

The place is worth visiting, with all the history associated with it. The place is still well maintained, the gardens are wonderful, the halls and the rooms are unique. The hall of mirrors worth visiting. It takes a few hours to see it all.
