Summary
Tour info
Why take this tour?
Once at Versailles, you'll skip the line and head right into the Palace. Alongside an expert guide, you’ll visit the incredible gilded palace chapel, the King and Queen’s private apartments and of course, the phenomenal function rooms including the iconic Hall of Mirrors. As you walk, your guide will bring the palace to life with stories of courtly intrigue and royal plots, while also giving you insight into the everyday lives of the people who lived here.
With your guide leading the way, they'll give you an introduction to the extravagant Palace Gardens and allow you to wander them on your own. Depending on the day you’ll see either the Fountains Show, where the beautiful fountains come to life to music, or the musical Gardens Show.
In the afternoon, you'll have free time to explore the rest of the royal domain, such as the Gallery of Coaches (open weekends and public holidays) or the Trianon Estate where Marie Antoinette enjoyed her private moments at palaces like Petit Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet. With a roundtrip train ticket to Paris included, enjoy the flexibility of returning to the City of Lights when you wish.
This tour takes the hassle out of finding your own way to Versailles with roundtrip transportation and skip-the-line tickets. With so much ground to cover and history to unpack, an expert local guide will reveal the stories and secrets that took place within the Palace's walls. There's no better way to experience one of France's must-see monuments.
