Muy buena la explicación de la guía, lo único que como es tan grande a la vuelta, tardamos unos pocos minutos en llega al bus y ya se estaba yendo sin nosotros. Pensaba que pasarían lista o algo. Por lo demás pasamos un día muy bonito, nos falto tiempo! Translate this opinion into English.

The guide's explanation was excellent. The only downside was that, because the area is so large, it took us a few minutes to get back to the bus, and it was already leaving without us. I thought they might be taking attendance or something. Otherwise, we had a wonderful day; we just wish we had more time! Opinion translated. Show original.

Es la 2da vez que visito Versalles. La logística de la empresa fue buena, todo muy rápido y tal cual lo explican previo al paseo. Lo único que tengo que acotar es que la guía Leonor no me gustó. Iba como atolondrada, su vestimenta no era las apropiada para un guía y sus explicaciones era muy vacía y superficial. He hecho muchas visitas guiadas y mis expectativas son muy altas en cuanto a esto. Sin embargo algo positivo que sí puedo decir es que estaba muy pendiente del grupo en todo momento.

This is my second time visiting Versailles. The company's logistics were good; everything was very quick and exactly as explained before the tour. My only complaint is that I didn't like our guide, Leonor. She seemed rushed, her attire wasn't appropriate for a guide, and her explanations were very vague and superficial. I've taken many guided tours, and my expectations are very high. However, one positive thing I can say is that she was very attentive to the group at all times.

Mucha puntualidad en el tour y cómoda la entrada sin colas ni esperas. Nuestra guía Marisa muy amable en todo momento. Nos explicó al detalle el palacio y su historia, tratando de que disfrutásemos la experiencia, y de asesorarnos en lo que necesitásemos. Me gustaría que Civitatis pudiese incluir una ruta guiada por los jardines, fuentes y el pequeño Trianon, que aunque se pueden visitar no encontré la posibilidad que expliquen esa parte del recorrido. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was very punctual, and the entrance was convenient with no queues or waiting. Our guide, Marisa, was very friendly throughout. She explained the palace and its history in detail, making sure we enjoyed the experience and helping us with anything we needed. I wish Civitatis would include a guided tour of the gardens, fountains, and the Petit Trianon, as although these can be visited, I couldn't find any information about that part of the tour.

La visita guiada al Palacio de Versalles muy bien, pero durants el trayecto desde Paris se hizo una explicación en Inglés sobre la historia llegando hasta la actualidad mencionando las olimpiadas de 2024 y al momento de la explicación en español se limitaron a decir "buen viatje y disfruten del paisaje" y poca cosa más Translate this opinion into English.

The guided tour of the Palace of Versailles was very good, but during the journey from Paris, there was an explanation in English about the history up to the present day, mentioning the 2024 Olympics. When it came time for the explanation in Spanish, they simply said "have a good trip and enjoy the scenery" and little else. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita al interior del Palacio con Rubén (el guía que nos esperó en la puerta del Palacio) fue excelente. Clara y abundante y estuvo pendiente del grupo y dando indicaciones todo el tiempo. Esa parte un 10 En cuanto a la organización del viaje en autobús UN DESASTRE. A la llegada al parking la encargada se bajó corriendo y se fue con los ingleses y los españoles tuvimos que estar avisando unos a otros cuando vimos dónde era. Esa parte fatal y tampoco explicaron dónde sería el punto de recogid

The visit inside the Palace with Rubén (the guide who was waiting for us at the Palace door) was excellent. Clear and abundant, and he was attentive to the group, giving instructions all the time. That part gets a 10. As for the organization of the bus trip, A DISASTER. Upon arrival at the parking lot, the person in charge ran off with the English, and the Spaniards had to alert each other when we saw where it was. That part was terrible, and they also didn't explain where the pickup point would be.

La Guía, Marisa, muy bien, todo bien explicado y con un toque muy cercano. Sin embargo, se nos indicó un punto de recogida y este se cambió sin aviso. La persona encargada de la recogida, con chaleco rojo, no se molestó por buscarnos, ni se presentó ni pidió datos de los presentes. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Marisa, was excellent; everything was well explained and she was very friendly. However, we were given a pickup point, and it was changed without notice. The person in charge of the pickup, wearing a red vest, didn't bother to look for us, didn't introduce themselves, and didn't ask for any information from those present. Opinion translated.

Algún detalle como que por el sofocante.calor el bus hubiera estado un poco antes. Nos avisaron que salíamos si o si a las 16:20 y así fue pero el bus no llegó hasta las 16:15, allí estábamos todos aguantando al sol. Pero no empaña lo recomendable de la excursión. Translate this opinion into English.

One detail is that due to the sweltering heat, the bus could have arrived a bit earlier. We were told we would leave at 16:20 no matter what, and that’s how it was, but the bus didn’t arrive until 16:15, and we were all there waiting in the sun. But it doesn’t overshadow the recommendability of the excursion. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía, Vladimir, nos explicó muy bien las cosas, fue un tour con mucha información y también divertido. Los jardines los visitamos por libre, son muy bonitos. Recomiendo la entrada de 9h si se quiere ir al pequeño y gran trianon o el pueblo de María Antonieta, de lo contrario no dará tiempo. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Vladimir, explained everything very well; it was a very informative and fun tour. We visited the gardens on our own; they are very beautiful. I recommend the 9:00 AM ticket if you want to visit the Petit Trianon, the Grand Trianon, or Marie Antoinette Village; otherwise, you won't have enough time. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad por lo general bien. Recordar llevar protector solar si viajáis en verano. Se puede comer bien en el restaurante del parque( Le Flottille) Con carta de alérgenos y posibilidad de comer sin gluten. Pregunté por la contaminación cruzada. Lo que no me gusto es que el/la conductor/a del autobús, se macho de la parada 5 minutos antes de lo acordado, sin tener en cuenta que faltaba gente, casi dejan gente en Versalles . También remarcar una consumición muy brusca.

The activity was generally good. Remember to bring sunscreen if you're traveling in the summer. You can eat well at the park's restaurant (Le Flottille), which has an allergen menu and gluten-free options. I inquired about cross-contamination. What I didn't like was that the bus driver left the stop 5 minutes early, without considering that some passengers were still waiting; they almost left people behind in Versailles. Also, the service was very abrupt.

La excurción al Castillo, el Trianon y la aldea de la reina es espectacular. Lo que no estuvo a la altura fue la guía, se notaba que no tenía experiencia, costaba escucharla y no transmitía ninguna emoción durante el recorrido. Otro punto fue que se nos hizo muy larga la espera para que el micro nos llevara de regreso, hacía mucho calor y ya no había mas nada para hacer. El único lugar para sentarse y tomar algo para esperar era muy chico y estaba saturado.

The excursion to the Castle, the Trianon, and the Queen's village is spectacular. What fell short was the guide; it was clear she lacked experience, it was hard to hear her, and she conveyed no emotion during the tour. Another point was that the wait for the bus to take us back felt very long, it was very hot, and there was nothing else to do. The only place to sit and have something to drink while waiting was very small and overcrowded.

El grupo era muy grande y había mucha gente en el Palacio ( lo cual no es culpa de Vds. ). La guía Marionne fue lo mejor a pesar de la dificultad de hacer una visita así. Y el tiempo para estar en los jardines es excesivo máxime en un día de tanto calor como ayer

The group was very large and there were many people in the Palace (which is not your fault). Our guide, Marionne, was the best part, despite the difficulty of conducting such a tour. And the time allotted for the gardens is excessive, especially on a day as hot as yesterday.

La excursión estuvo bien, dentro de lo que se esperaba. La guía muy simpática y predispuesta, merecería 4 estrellas pero le pongo 3 porque el equipo de audioguia funcionaba mal, no sólo el mío sino que claramente ella tenía un problema en la transmisión. Por esto me perdí varias explicaciones. Una lástima.

The excursion was good, within what was expected. The guide was very nice and willing, it would deserve 4 stars but I give it 3 because the audio guide equipment was malfunctioning, not just mine but clearly she had a problem with the transmission. Because of this, I missed several explanations. What a shame.

Creo que al ir con adolescentes deben de recomendar no ir tanto tiempo, es demasiado grande, los jardines hermosos y enormes y ahora los muchachos quieren todo rápido. Pero bueno, es detalle de la edad no del servicio que brindan el cual estuvo excelente. Translate this opinion into English.

I think that when going with teenagers, they should recommend not spending too much time there; it's very large, the gardens are beautiful and enormous, and these days teenagers want everything fast. But oh well, it's a matter of age, not of the service they provide, which was excellent. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tanto el palacio como sus jardines son hermosos y vale mucho la pena visitarlos. Los jardines son espectaculares pero hay que tomarse el tiempo apropiado para visitarlos, por lo que recomiendo la visita larga. En el lugar es posible alquilar unos carros eléctricos. Nuestro guía Florence fue muy didáctica y entretenida, siempre atenta a mantener el grupo unido y todo organizado. Recomendamos ampliamente está excursión. Translate this opinion into English.

Both the palace and its gardens are beautiful and well worth a visit. The gardens are spectacular, but you need to allow yourself enough time to explore them, so I recommend the extended visit. Electric carts are available for rent on site. Our guide, Florence, was very informative and entertaining, always attentive to keeping the group together and everything organized. We highly recommend this tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Bus was easy to find. Once we got off the bus we met our tour guide. She was very factual with the tour, but was hard to hear. After palace tour we visited the garden. The gardens were beautiful and we explored on our own. We returned to meeting spot in parking lot and had to wait 15 minutes for the bus.

La ida y la visita guiada fueron muy bien. La guía era entusiasta y amena. El problema ocurrió al regreso. El bus de vuelta tardo 15 minutoes en llegar y nos hicieron esperar bajo la lluvia mientras nadie nos confirmaba cuando iba a llegar. No solo eso, al llegar a París, no había guía ni nadie responsable qué nos explique donde era que nos dejaba el bus. Translate this opinion into English.

The outbound trip and the guided tour went very well. The guide was enthusiastic and engaging. The problem occurred on the return. The bus took 15 minutes to arrive and we were made to wait in the rain while no one confirmed when it would arrive. Not only that, upon arriving in Paris, there was no guide or responsible person to explain where the bus would drop us off. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guia (Noelia) fue excelente, explico todo de forma genial y me saco todas las dudas q tenia. El unico problema q tuve fue en la espera a subir al bus q nos debia llevar al Palacio, dado q cuando llegue y mostre q tenia la excursion a las 11 hs. y q debia llegar x lo menos 20' antes x lo tanto eran 10:30 con lo cual estaba re en horario, me dijeron q no q era a las 11:00 sino 11:30 y q podia volver mas tarde, menos mal q no me fui xq 11:05 salio el bus q nos llevo.Noelia nos esperaba en Versa

The guide (Noelia) was excellent; she explained everything brilliantly and answered all my questions. The only problem I had was waiting to board the bus that was supposed to take us to the Palace. When I arrived and showed that my tour was at 11:00 and that I needed to arrive at least 20 minutes early (making it 10:30, which meant I was perfectly on time), they told me it wasn't at 11:00 but 11:30 and that I could come back later. Luckily, I didn't leave because the bus that took us there left at 11:05. Noelia was waiting for us at Versa.

Lamentamos la confusión con el horario de salida y la espera al inicio de la excursión. El horario correcto era a las 11:00, solicitando llegar con 20 minutos de antelación.

La guía Stephany fue muy clara, sólida y didáctica. Nos encantaron sus explicaciones, con gran conocimiento de historia del arte. Hubo un solo detalle erróneo: al final del tour me entregó un ticket que no habilitaba a los jardines. El problema se solucionó pero fueron unos momentos tensos. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Stephany, was very clear, knowledgeable, and informative. We loved her explanations, which demonstrated a great understanding of art history.

La guía que nos recibió en el palacio Stefie(si mal no recuerdo) fue EXCELENTE se notaba su muy buena preparación. Lo peor fue que en el viaje solo hubo una guia que únicamente hablo en ingles....si yo reservo un tour en español tiene que cumplirse durante todo el mismo. La guia en ingles fue hablando de la historia misma de Versalles y de la ciudad pero nos quedamos sin la traducción cosa que me pareció PESIMA

The guide who greeted us at the palace, Stefie (if I remember correctly), was EXCELLENT; her extensive training was evident. The worst part was that there was only one guide on the entire trip, and she spoke exclusively in English. If I book a tour in Spanish, it should be in Spanish throughout the entire tour. The English-speaking guide talked about the history of Versailles and the city itself, but we didn't receive any translation, which I found TERRIBLE.
