It's a must if you want to see the palace! My family and I made it a day trip. It was a 30 min drive from Paris. Make sure to line up early because even if you have your tickets the line was still long. The audio guide came in handy and it was nice to learn the history. Make sure you use comfortable walking shoes since you are going to walking throughout the whole estate. Once you enter the gardens there are restaurants and they have really good food. Also if you want to splurge and a bit lazy to walk they offer golf cart and bike rentals to get around! Overall it was a great experience and it's a must!

Super awesome tour and the guide has a well established knowledge of historical events and POI’s around the city. She’s really passionate about her awesome pink trabi, and, above all, she’s such a lovely lady. We had good laughs with her. Great experience and would definately recommend her to others!

With children aged 8 and 10, plan time to do the gardens (long journeys between places, pee breaks, lunch breaks, and children who drag their paws at some point). The visit to the castle was long for my children, they quickly dropped out despite the children's audio guide.

Great days out, had to go back for a second day to finish it all off

Fabulous trip. Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Would recommend
