Good value for Money and informative ....tike was just about right.....but watch the meeting location. The GPS marker on yhe ticket takes you to the street side of the building to get your guide ....it should take you to the palace side through the gates. This was very confusing.

It was fascinating. I bought it as a gift for my own birthday and I couldn't be happier. The guide was amazing, and it was fantastic to access places where most of the public can't visit.

Explore King's Chambers with this Headout exclusive tour

Find yourself zipping past the long lines at Entrance A and Entrance B! Headout ticket holders are prioritized before all other groups at the Palace of Versailles- ensuring you get ample time to explore the structure spread over 800-hectare

Enjoy this exclusive guided tour of the King’s Private Apartments with the palace's official English, Spanish, or French-speaking guide. Peek into the lives of French royalty with this tour that is generally closed to the public. The King's son, Louis XV had the Clock Room built inside the apartments. The room’s floor is a clock, displaying the day of the week, month, year, and the lunar quarter. It also features a crystal sphere depicting the solar system. You will also come across other interesting places like the Porcelain Dining Room, Louis XVI’s Library, and the Games Room, all of which were later added to the apartments.

Tour the Famed Hall of Mirrors

This tour also includes a visit to the Hall of Mirrors. Famous for being the venue of the “Treaty of Versailles”, it is one of the most iconic attractions in France. The hall also consists of artworks depicting famous historical events including: “The king governs by Himself”, “Reception of the Doge of Genea”, and “The Siamese Embassy."

Inaugurated as the largest concert hall, the Royal Opera is considered to be a spectacular work of architecture by Ange-Jacques Gabriel. Imagine the grandeur of past celebrations as you admire its lavish ballroom and more. If you visit the Royal Chapel, you'll get to see the Antiquity-inspired architecture and The Holy Trinity fresco in the vaulted ceiling.
