VERSAILLES / Tuesday or Saturday??

Hello.....I will be in Paris in May (first time in Europe by myself) and plan a day at Versailles..take the metro and buy the entrance online.

On Tuesday 17 they have the guided tour of the Private Apartments of the King and the Musical Gardens and
on Saturday 21 there are no guided tours but they have the Fountain Show and some Saturdays you have the Equestrian Show Academy : the visits...but not on Saturday 21
Would love the Equestrian visit but I called and they told me there are no visits and that they might add a Guided Tour.
Any recommendations...? Musical or Fountain?
Thank you for your help

Tuesday - both for the private tour and fewer tourists.

Never on a weekend. It's crowded enough on a weekday.

They use to say Versailles was crowded on Tuesdays because the Louvre and other major draw museums in Paris proper were closed that day?

dolores - as long as you get to Versailles before it opens, you'll be fine on Tuesday. The tour groups don't arrive before around 10h30. Avoid Saturday, because everyone goes then.
