La actividad fue lenta ya que tuvimos que esperar nosotros al guía, y después a las demás personas que faltaban, cuando te piden que tú al menos estés 15 min antes. Al final yo estuve esperando como 45 min. Todo en general fue lento, pero las explicaciones buenas e interesantes. El guía bien en ese sentido. Sin embargo, me parece que el recorrido no tiene mucho y que podía incluir algo más. La persona que te habla por wasap un día antes para confirmar la visita, no te responde si le preguntas.

The activity was slow because we had to wait for the guide, and then for the other people who were missing, when they ask you to be at least 15 minutes early. In the end I was waiting for about 45 minutes. Everything in general was slow, but the explanations were good and interesting. The guide was good in that sense. However, it seems to me that the tour does not have much and that it could include something more. The person who calls you on WhatsApp the day before to confirm the visit, does not answer you if you ask him.

100% recomendable. Una maravilla andar y admirar los jardines.

La actividad es buena. El guía Fernando tenía conocimientos excelentes y nos ha guiado con sumo cariño incluso dándonos consejos para después del tour. No doy 5 estrellas porque la audio guía no vale nada y el Palacio estaba abarrotado haciendo imposible disfrutarlo Las estancias del Rey y la galería de los espejos no defraudan , dada su inmensa belleza Fernando ha sido magnífico , poniendo su atención incluso en las personas que no hablaban español

The activity is good. The guide Fernando had excellent knowledge and guided us with great care, even giving us advice for after the tour. I do not give 5 stars because the audio guide is worthless and the Palace was packed, making it impossible to enjoy it. The King's chambers and the hall of mirrors do not disappoint, given their immense beauty. Fernando has been magnificent, paying attention even to people who did not speak Spanish.

Un guia súper instruido y atento, pero ha dedicado mucho tiempo a alargar la excursión sin sentido . Habiendo quedado a las 9:15( la excursión empezaba a las 9:30) hemos llegado al Palacio pasadas las 11:30, a pesar que hay solo 35 min de trayecto.. Pienso que se hace para vender la excursión como más larga, y eso no implica más completa . Nos ha cansado más de la cuenta , puesto que todo lo q nos ha contado y enseñado lo podíamos haber hecho en la mitad de tiempo como mucho . Translate this opinion into English.

A super knowledgeable and attentive guide, but he spent a lot of time prolonging the excursion without any sense. Having agreed to meet at 9:15 (the excursion started at 9:30) we arrived at the Palace after 11:30, even though it was only a 35 minute journey. I think this is done to sell the excursion as longer, and that does not mean it is more complete. He tired us out more than necessary, since everything he told us and showed us could have been done in half the time at most. Opinion translated. Show original.

Gracias a Fernando, la actividad fue excelente, más allá de la espectacularidad de lo conocido (el Palacio, sus reliquias, sus obras de arte y sus jardines), de no haber sido por Fernando con su expresión, su cultura, su conocimiento, su profesionalismo y, fundamentalmente, por su calidad humana no frecuente en los tiempos que corren, nos ha sumado un inmenso valor agregado a la actividad. ¡¡... Éxito para tí Fernando, te lo mereces ... !! Translate this opinion into English.

Thanks to Fernando, the activity was excellent, beyond the spectacular nature of what is known (the Palace, its relics, its works of art and its gardens), if it had not been for Fernando with his expression, his culture, his knowledge, his professionalism and, fundamentally, for his human quality not common in these times, he would have added immense added value to the activity. ... Success for you Fernando, you deserve it ... !! Opinion translated. Show original.

Un palacio muy grande, muy bonito, mucho lujo, mucha historia. Fernando nuestro guía fue muy puntual, muy amable y sobre todo la explicación durante el tour, da ese toque final maravilloso de visitar Versalles, quedando en nuestra memoria algo muy especial. Pueden descargar la guía de Versalles de Play Store (CHATEAU DE VERSAILLES) desde un día antes con WiFi, ya que la señal en Versalles es algo lenta. Translate this opinion into English.

A very large palace, very beautiful, very luxurious, a lot of history. Fernando, our guide, was very punctual, very kind and, above all, the explanation during the tour, gave that wonderful final touch to visiting Versailles, leaving something very special in our memory. You can download the Versailles guide from the Play Store (CHATEAU DE VERSAILLES) a day before using WiFi, since the signal in Versailles is somewhat slow. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía Lucia es excelente, amable relata buenas historias pero solo nos acompaña en un tour guiado por los jardines. El resto del palacio y el Trianón toca recorrerlo por nuestra cuenta. Eso no es tan chévere porque la audio guía de la app se demora en descargar las explicaciones de lo que se ve en el palacio. En realidad sería mejor si todo fuera guiado y no solo los jardines. El tren debes pagarlo tú mismo es decir este tour lo que cubre únicamente es las entradas y una explicación “corta”

The guide Lucia is excellent, friendly, tells good stories but she only accompanies us on a guided tour of the gardens. The rest of the palace and the Trianon we have to explore on our own. That is not so cool because the audio guide on the app takes a while to download the explanations of what we see in the palace. In reality it would be better if everything was guided and not just the gardens. You have to pay for the train yourself, that is to say, this tour only covers the entrances and a “short” explanation.

La actividad en general es muy buena, Versalles es gran atracción, sin embargo, creo que la visita dentro del palacio también debería ser guiada por la empresa, o por lo menos, dejar muy claro desde antes de la compra que esta parte es audioguia gratis con el app del palacio Translate this opinion into English.

The activity in general is very good, Versailles is a great attraction, however, I think that the visit inside the palace should also be guided by the company, or at least, make it very clear before the purchase that this part is a free audio guide with the palace app. Opinion translated.

El guía estuvo muy pendiente del grupo en todo momento. Nos aconsejó y nos ayudó en las dudas que pudiéramos tener. Nos fue explicando todo lo relacionado con los jardines y la historia de Francia. Finalmente a la hora indicada nos dejó para visitar el interior del Palacio por nuestra cuenta. Debido a los Juegos Olímpicos, en París hay muchas calles cerradas y el punto de encuentro exacto estaba en una zona prohibida lo que hizo que dieramos un par de vueltas de más.

The guide was very attentive to the group at all times. He advised us and helped us with any questions we might have. He explained to us everything related to the gardens and the history of France. Finally at the indicated time he left us to visit the interior of the Palace on our own. Due to the Olympic Games, in Paris there are many streets closed and the exact meeting point was in a prohibited area which made us take a couple of extra turns.

La actividad no condice con lo enunciado en la descripción del Tour. Fue una guía por uno de los Jardines y luego hemos tenido que contratar un audioguía para conocer el Palacio y sus historias. Al menos no fue lo que interpretamos varios del grupo al contratarla El guía Paco fue muy amable y claro.

The activity does not match what is stated in the Tour description. It was a guide through one of the Gardens and then we had to hire an audio guide to learn about the Palace and its stories. At least that was not what several of the group interpreted when hiring her. The guide Paco was very friendly and clear.

La guía al principio no parecía responder con ganas las consultas de sus clientes contestando solo con monosílabos. En lo personal no me gustó tanto como otro que hice hace unos años en donde el guía hilaba una historia de principio a fin de recorrido y era mucho más llevadero. En esta oportunidad la guía nos comentaba puntualmente el lugar en donde paraba y esto tornaba un poco aburrido y denso el recorrido.

The guide at first did not seem to eagerly respond to her clients' queries, answering only with monosyllables. Personally, I didn't like it as much as another one I did a few years ago where the guide spun a story from beginning to end of the tour and it was much more bearable. On this occasion the guide specifically told us about the place where he was stopping and this made the route a little boring and dense.

Fue muy bien explicada, una narrativa cronológica con muchos detalles de los jardines del palacio y algunos interesantes momentos del palacio, hubiera sido mucho mejor experiencia si todo eso se hubiera explicado en los salones del palacio, mientras se recorría…. Hacerlo en una delimitada zona de los jardines no dejó mucho para mirar, y los que pasamos al museo posteriormente estábamos ya cansados. Fuera del orden, el guía Fernando fue lo mejor. Translate this opinion into English.

It was very well explained, a chronological narrative with many details of the palace gardens and some interesting moments of the palace, it would have been a much better experience if all of this had been explained in the halls of the palace, while touring... Doing it in a limited area of the gardens didn't leave much to look at, and those of us who went to the museum later were already tired. Out of order, the guide Fernando was the best.

El guía fue muy amable y nos explicó muy bien. También fue muy servicial con los inconvenientes que surgieron. Mi recomendación es que en el valor del tour incluyan el pasaje de tren hasta versailles ya que quien no sabe sacar el pasaje, no se puede hacer solo sin indicación. Y el necesitar del guía para comprarlo obstaculiza el tour. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very friendly and explained to us very well. He was also very helpful with any issues that arose. My recommendation is that the price of the tour include the train ticket to Versailles since those who do not know how to get the ticket cannot do it alone without instructions. And needing the guide to buy it hinders the tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía muy bien. Lamentablemente sumaron a nuestro tour tres personas de habla inglesa, a quienes les faltó la guía en su idioma y no hacian más que hablar entre ellos, molestar a las personas que haciamos el tour y distraer al guía que intentaba narrar la historia y características del lugar. Sugiero aclarar a las personas que deben callarse mientras el guía está hablando.

The guide is very good. Unfortunately, three English-speaking people joined our tour, who lacked the guide in their language and did nothing but talk among themselves, bother the people who were doing the tour and distract the guide who was trying to narrate the history and characteristics of the place. . I suggest clarifying to people that they should be quiet while the guide is speaking.
