I had a great experience from booking to the tour itself. Andrea was patient and very informative through several phone calls leading up to our trip. Sunil proactively contacted me about changes far in advance to our scheduled tour and were responsive through the day before.
Meeting place and time were clear and accurate as described on the voucher. Stick to the recommendation of showing up 10-15 minutes early as they are punctual (which is a good thing). Our tour coordinator (I unfortunately cannot recall her name) who met us at the rendezvous point and accompanied us on the coach ride to Versailles was also clear with important information through the handoff to our guide upon arrival at Versailles. The bus ride to (and from) Versailles was smooth. Access to the palace was quick and efficient since our tickets to both the gardens and the palace were already secured and handed to us at the beginning and we had a separate (tour group) entrance into the palace. Our tour guide, Frederick, was a wealth of historical information and answered questions patiently.
The gardens were for us to explore independently. We rented a golf cart and it gave us just enough time to visit Petit Trianon as well (you need to rent a golf-cart or the mini train to get to it, both available at the gardens.) Would have loved to see Grand Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet too, which we were free to do so, but we opted to take the coach back to Paris with the group. We had a stress-free and memorable visit to Versailles.
Just a tip, you can contact "The Tour Guy" or "City Wonders" for inquiries; either one can access your booking.

Ina (probably spelling that wrong) was great on our tour! Very informative and a good pace. Definitely would book again. Highly recommend renting a golf cart once into the gardens on your own to save your feet!
