Overview

Experience the glory of Versailles on this tour of the palace and its grounds. Your tour begins in the center of Paris where you'll meet your guide and board a train to Versailles. Once there, you'll skip-the-line into the palace where your guide will show you some of the most important rooms, including the stunning Hall of Mirrors. Book the 1:45 PM tour and gain exclusive access to the King's Private Apartments—an area normally closed to the public. These private chambers were where the French Royal Family resided, retreating from the grandeur of public life. After a brief introduction, wander the gargantuan landscaped gardens that surround the palace. In the afternoon, you'll have free time to explore the Gallery of the Coaches 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 on your own when you wish.
