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!

Peter from Prague was really charming and knowledgable. He taught us many things and showed us many fascinating places all while making us laugh and being extremely knowledgable. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really enjoyed the tour. Lots of history, well explained and plenty of time to explore. Well worth the money and your time.

Very good experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and very nice. He told us many things about the history of Prague.

Beautiful and touching experience. Highly recommend +
