Abandoned at the palace
Jim_M
, Apr 2022
Bus transportation was comfortable but guide talk too fast to understand much of the palace history and the guide deserted our group after the palace tour with incorrect rally point instructions to get back on the bus. We waited for 25 minutes for the bus driver to located us after emailing the tour company but they did not respond to our call for help. Felt abandoned by the guide and tour company

Bonjour Jim, First I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to leave another review about your experience with our agency, after having sent us your first impressions comfortably seated in our Minibus taking you back to Paris. We are really sorry that you and 3 other people have misunderstood what was the exact meeting point when 14 other people made their way back to the designated meeting point on time and with no issue. Fortunately, the other participants on the tour were patient enough and helpful enough to assist us to locate you in front of the Castle, making it possible for you not to lose your ride back to Paris. As The Title of your feedback wrongly implies, you were never Abandoned at the palace, neither by the guide nor by the tour company. Thank you very much!
