Delightfully enchanted - This was such a lovely experience. The golf cart tour through the gardens was amazing and informative. The row boat with champagne was so much fun for all in our group. We had a couple who had a romantic date on one boat and the other 3 of us all ladies had a fun time taking turns rowing, laughing and enjoying the beautiful views. For sure a highlight of our short 5 day trip to Paris. I highly recommend Kingtours for being very accommodating and putting together such a wonderful experience.
I am very curious about their bike tour and hope to do that in the future.

Great in theory, but the boats are dangerous in practice - The experience was amazing, and our guide was so sweet, engaging, and knowledgeable. The garden and fountains? Incredible, and the golf carts were invaluable in preventing exhaustion.
However, why less than 5 stars? Safety.
Don't get me wrong. On their part, the guides were very safe; but you'll need someone from your group/pair to row the boat (if you opt for that over the bikes), so be ready. The experience sounds great in theory; but allowing so many uncertified, untrained people to row boats in the same waterway, all with plenty of champagne, all without a chaperone or stationed safety personnel along the waterway? That is a BAD idea in practice.
I'm so thankful that an accident didn't happen, and I struggle to believe that none have happened in the past. (The water was very dirty, so even with the provided life jackets, you do NOT want to fall in!)
I was initially under the impression that the boat would be rowed by trained staff. That was not the case.
I'm not certain how the laws would work regarding this, but I'm surprised that this method was approved and allowed.

Be ready to walk, even with the golf cart add on. - Cons:
Very unorganized start. Met at 9:30 only to wait 35 min for the late party to arrive. Way more walking than we expected (I was injured and had trouble
Walking). We assumed we would be doing the whole tour with the golf cart. That is why we booked. Be ready to walk A TON! The palace is packed with people all trying to navigate the rooms together and it is hard to get from one room to the next without someone elbowing you. If you have an anxiety or trouble in closed space, skip the palace part.
Pros: our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Took great pictures for us and was very likable. We learned a lot of history.
We love, love, loved the champagne and row bow add on. However we had to go back and forth with the agent at the boat pick up that the add on was included in our booking. Finally resolved, but seems it should have been printed in our original ticket, which it was not. Luckily I had my Viator receipt that showed we paid for it.

Please read the entire review: It is not all bad. - I wish there was a maybe for the question on recommending the tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. He did a fabulous job driving us around the see the grounds. When it came to the romantic boat escape, I wish I had read the instructions more carefully. I was not expecting to row my own boat (I am an older person traveling with my daughter). I did get enough courage to get on the boat with my daughter, who had only rowed a boat on the Nintendo Mario game. Once we got over the hump on how to row the boat, we had a few laughs (we did not stay in the water very much). We saved our champagne and had it with lunch.
Getting into the place was a nightmare and I waited in line for 1.5 hours. I wish the tour would have made this easier.
If you are interested in seeing the palace (which I would I would imagine it is an all-day event), this is not the tour for you. By the time I got in, I just had enough time to find the hall of mirrors.

Wouldn't book with this tour group, beware. - What we booked is not what we received. Handed us 7 tickets and said they were for everything. When looking at the tickets we had 4 for everything and 3 fit garden only. They said it would be fine. Then they said the boat part may not happen. Then they said our time to go in palace was in late afternoon, we had booked another tour for the afternoon. It was a big mess. We ran into the other King Tours group and they had a group in theirs that had the same issue. Would not book with them again. Guide even approached our son for more tip and said we shouldn't even have been on the tour but they compromised as a favor. Funniest thing I heard the whole day. We booked this trip and even had to use our Hamlet tickets booked with other provider to go in with guide.
