パリ発フォンテーヌブローとヴォー・ル・ヴィコント・シャトー日帰り旅行

An extremely satisfying day trip. Simply amazed

We went to the Foutainebleu tour and it was closed for some unconfirmed reason. The staff seemed uninformed and kept giving different opening times. We had to leave at 2 pm since that was our planned departure time. If Foutainebleau would of more honest about the open time we could of moved to our next excursion, Viator has iniated a 50% refund for.

The first castle had no power so we did not get to go in. Viatar seems to be the only partner for this trip not giving a partial refund

The driver was excellent! The traffic in Paris was terrible on the morning of the tour and he waited 20 extra minutes for me to join. He was personal and kept to our schedule. Taking this tour allowed all of us to see 2 beautiful chateaus easily in a comfortable bus.

Fontainebleau was dissappointing as I had just visited Versailles Palace which was amazing. Vaux lLe Vicomte Chateaux was a little better and with doing the audio tour.

Best part of our experience in France! We were able to visualize how the Aristocracy lived In the past

I visited castles for their historical significance, architecture, and innovative gardens. The bus ride was comfortable. For Fontainebleau, I recommend booking a tour to see the highlights, as they’re not accessible otherwise. For Vaux-le-Vicomte, I should have extra time to walk through the garden up to the first pool to truly appreciate the design.

Good amount of time allotted for each location. I am a history lover. I knew some history on each location, but still learned a lot.

The visit to the castles was very nice; however, the transportation to and from did not have adequate air conditioning. A number of individuals traveling on the bus were elderly, and the temperatures were easily in the upper 80s, such that it felt unsafe to be on the bus without adequate temperature control. It seems it would have been better to even open windows.

What a beautiful Chateau and day out spent here at Fontainebleau. This could so easily have been a 5* experience with better organisation by the custodians of this palace. It’s easy to reach from Paris and is the fore runner of Versailles, as a palace for the Kings of France. It doesn’t get as crowded as Versailles and we were often the only people in the various rooms to enjoy its treasures. However it was considerably let down by its poor visitor flow plan, no available maps and the inability to download the guide onto a smart phone (no one was able to do this!) Likewise I don’t think that room guides are interested or educated people as in British National Trust or Royal Palaces. They are room guards! Come on France you’re not a 3rd world country, get your act together, value your visitors and provide some customer service!
