Overview

Visit one of the top attractions from Paris, the Palace of Versailles, known for its exquisite royal chambers and lush gardens spreading across 800 hectares.

Choose between a morning tour and an afternoon tour and enjoy skip-the-line tickets to the palace. You will be provided with an audio guide (available in 11 languages) that will describe the sights in detail as you tour the Hall of Mirrors, Royal Opera, Marble Staircase, Mars Drawing Room, Venus and Diana Drawing Rooms, and the Royal Chapel.

The beautiful gardens are almost as impressive as the palace itself. Designed in an impressive formal style, they boast marble and bronze statues, fountains and geometrically aligned terraces.

What's the plan:

Travel from Paris to the Palace of Versailles in an air-conditioned coach. Avoid long queues at the entry gates with your skip-the-line Versailles ticket. Collect your audio guide, and enjoy learning the fascinating facts, anecdotes and stories about this 17th century UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Enter the royal chambers of King Louis XIV who built the palace in the mid-17th century when he moved court from Paris. He constructed expansive Versailles to be large enough to house his entire court and aristocracy.

Be enamored by the extravagance of King Louis XIV’s intimate chambers, the decadent halls lined with statues, and the wonderful gardens. One of the major highlights of Versailles is the spectacular Hall of Mirrors, where the historic Treaty of Versailles, ending the World War I, was signed in June 1919.

You can also stroll in the formal gardens which were designed by Andre le Notre. Almost as impressive as the palace itself are its ponds, tree lined avenues, marble and bronze statues, fountains, and the secondary royal residences including Marie Antoinette’s rural retreat, the Queen’s Hamlet.

At the end of the tour, you will return Paris by coach. Upon arrival, you must make your own way back to your accommodation.
