VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

tour guide excellent enjoyed the whole experience would recommend it. was a nice day that tacked two things

The tour guide(s) and the driver were excellent, the coach very comfortable. Giverny was, as always, stunning. Versailles was less so, not through the fault of your organisation or the guides, but having to wait in a queue for an hour, together with dozens of other groups, and have a tour round the apartments, together with dozens of other groups, was very disappointing. I cannot believe that Versailles cannot organise things better than that. Then we had only half an hour in the gardens, had just time to find the toilets (though I had to abandon the facility because of the long ladies'queue!), and back to the coach. So I would not recommend a half day/afternoon visit to Versailles - though accept it was our choice to take it. The lunch was fine, though we could have left straight afterwards, instead of hanging around until 13.30, and then have had a little more time at Versailles.

I would recommend this only for speed and convenience. The tour package itself did not provide any extra benefit other than a group of individuals to ride with to the destination and the ride itself (and lunch). 1.5 hours to cover Versailles was tragically short changing the immensity of the site.
