Super beautiful and detailed palace. A true step above any other palace I've seen in Europe. You could spend the whole day there. We got a guide through Paris Tickets and it gave so much context to what we were seeing which made the experience so special. Our tour guide Flor was so so so funny and was good at blending the factual details of the rooms with what she called the celebrity gossip, which included interesting stories about the real people who lived in the palace

Contacted us to check that we were on the way, good earphones to listen to Andre's running commentary - which was excellent - and guided through the Palace crowds.. Worked well for us...but needed another day or two to do the rest of Versailles!

Good advance information about the meeting point and the itinerary. The meeting point was easy to find. Versailles was really crowded with visitors that day. Our guide quickly led us past the lines. Despite the crowds in some of the palace rooms, she always managed to find a way through. Her in-depth knowledge of history and art, spiced with a touch of humor, made the tour a pleasure despite the crowds in the palace rooms

Visiting the Palace of Versailles with a guide from the Headout app was fantastic because we didn’t have to wait in line to get in. The guide provides you with your admission tickets, and once inside, he explains everything about each section of the Palace in great detail and in an engaging way. My wife and I thought it was an excellent experience thanks to all the information we received—highly recommended.

The site is magnificent, but the guide focused on a tour that was too simplistic for our taste. We would have preferred more specialized historical or artistic references, in line with what one expects from a guided tour.

Bask in the magnificence of the Palace

The exquisite Palace of Versailles is one of the most extraordinary achievements in 17th-century European art. Just a few minutes' walk from the Palace, you will meet your expert guide and receive your skip-the-line vouchers. Once inside, enjoy a guided tour of the most famous places within the Palace. Illustrating more than five centuries of French history, the Palace not only houses remarkable works of art -- it stands as a work of art itself.

Glittering Hall of Mirrors and other opulent features

Upgrade to all-access tickets to explore the ornate King and Queen's State Apartments. Learn about the French monarchy and explore the themed salons and their elaborate ceiling paintings. Next, make your way to the glittering Hall of Mirrors. Designed to protect the ornate walls and ceilings from smoke, the hall’s 357 mirrors were strategically placed to reflect the light of candles. With just a few flames, the reflection from so many mirrors was enough to light up the whole hall!

Additional information

During high season, from Apr through Oct, it is recommended to visit the Palace early in the morning, right when it opens.

Tue and weekends generally see the most traffic, especially on days of water fountain shows.

Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

Please arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes before the scheduled time of your tour to avoid any delays.
