VIP Versailles Tour from Paris with King’s Private Apartments_TEST 2
Summary Description
Description
See the VIP side of Versailles on this small-group day trip from Paris. Travel is made easy with a local trip leader who escorts you by train, taking the guesswork out of getting there and round-trip tickets included. At the palace, begin with a guided walk through the famous gardens to soak in sweeping views and grand fountains. Then, step into the King’s Private Apartments—normally closed to the public—for a rare glimpse into royal life. On select days, enjoy access to the Royal Chapel or the Royal Opera House, two of Versailles’ most stunning and rarely seen spaces. End with a guided tour of the palace’s most iconic rooms, including the Hall of Mirrors, timed to avoid the busiest hours for a more peaceful and crowd-free experience.
Most Versailles tours follow the same script. This one doesn’t. Travel from Paris with a local trip leader and skip the stress of transit. Once at Versailles, start with the gardens and get an introduction to the grand vision of Louis XIV. Learn how symbols like Apollo, the Grand Canal, and the Orangerie were all designed to reflect royal power.
Then, go where most visitors can’t: the King’s Private Apartments. Once reserved for only the monarch’s inner circle, these rooms offer a rare glimpse into royal life behind the scenes. Depending on the day, you’ll also visit the Royal Chapel or the Royal Opera House—areas most visitors don’t see.
The tour continues through the palace’s iconic rooms, including the Hall of Mirrors, Queen’s Apartments, and War and Peace Salons. By this time in the day, the crowds have begun to clear for a quieter, more relaxed experience of Versailles.
With the return train ticket included, you're free to head back to Paris when you're ready after the tour.
