The tour is great because it gets into the history of the owner (who was the financier of Louis XIV) and the historical significance of the architecture and gardens. My friend was not excited about the tour because she lives in UK and has toured a million castles/chateaus. She loved it! It’s really a cool unique place that is historically significant.
(I’m a huge fan of the place and did a paper on it in college. It was a life dream to visit in person.)
Yes it's such a great place, partially because it isn't so crowded like Versailles. The gardens are really amazing, the design and the array of flowers and bushes and trees, etc is just incredible.
