Not happy - To less time for the activity. Transfer from the City to Versailles and Vice versa was ok. But there was Not enough time for the visit itself. 2:30 for the Palace and the Garden is definitely to less time

The tour operator was... - The tour operator was nice and knowledgeable. We booked this tour last minute since we had missed the other tour we booked due to being dropped off in wrong location, we do not speak French. We called Viator to make them aware of the mistake and that we were on our way to meeting point. A kind stranger by the name of Marie stayed on the phone with Viator customer service and was texting us with updates trying to help us as we made our way to the correct meeting point. Tour operator did not wait for us. We missed our day long tour to Normandy. My husband is retired Army and my mother’s father was in WWII. We were very sad they left without us. Never did I dream Viator would not refund us for the missed tour when I booked this one to lighten our spirits and give us something to do for the day. I would not recommend Viator for making your tour arrangements, they are not an ethical company to work should anything go wrong.
