El lugar es hermosos y el guía fue sensacional pero la aplicación de headout no te protege me hizo pasar un muy mal rato y me robaron más de 500 euro (headout no el operador turístico) The place is beautiful and the guide was fantastic, but the Headout app doesn't protect you; it made me have a terrible time and I was robbed of more than 500 euros (Headout, not the tour operator).

Everything was fantastic! The bus was great. Our narrator Amelia was spectacular. Her insight and knowledge of the palace was incredible. Walking past 500 people to get right in was priceless!!! She deserves a raise and an extra week of vacation!

    Beautiful palace with so much history but so much to see. I couldn't see it all but enjoyed every minute there and the gardens.

  • There is a certain magic that fizzes through the air in the Palace and Gardens of Versailles. Hidden away from the modern world, this majestic European castle on the outskirts of Paris is a perfectly preserved example of the reckless extravagance of the French monarchy.

    What can you expect from this tour?

    With a maximum of 25 people per group, your tour of Versailles will be intimate, unhurried, and enjoyable. Skip the lines to Versailles as your guide will lead you from one marvelous room to the next, pointing out where Louis XIV tormented his friends and family with long, boring ceremonies and where it was that Marie Antoinette ate her cake.

    Marvel at the sheer size of the Palace of Versailles, one of the largest and most beautiful castles in the world with a whopping 700 rooms. Peruse its incredible array of fine art and the intricate design of its 1250 fireplaces as you work your way through the highlights of the castle including the King and Queen’s apartments, the Chapel, the Coronation Room, the Hall of Mirrors, and the Salon of Abundance – how many residences can boast one of those? And just when you think that you have seen all that the Palace of Versailles has to offer, you’ll burst into the sunlight and encounter its dazzling manicured gardens, over 1,800 acres in size.

    Stroll the beautiful Gardens of Versailles

    Choose a date when either the famous Versailles Fountain Show or Musical Gardens are running (all running days from Apr to Oct, except Wed & Thu). The Versailles Fountain Show is a wonderful musical event held in the exclusive groves, designed by André Le Nôtre. Watch fountains explode to the sounds of a cello at the Fountain Show or just be enchanted by the simple beauty of classical music played in beautiful surroundings during the Musical Gardens event.
