CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5For example, you could write: We were very disappointed with this experience. We arrived only 5 minutes late, and despite our calls, no solution was offered to us. We were unable to take the tour of the Palace of Versailles even though we had paid a high price for a guided tour. What is most regrettable is not the delay itself, but the complete lack of assistance: no guidance, no offer to reschedule, no alternatives, and, to date, no gesture of goodwill.EEmma H
SoloVerified booking3 days ago5/5Our tour guide was really informative and kept things lighthearted. She was very considerate to give tips for the gardens and other things to see at the end of the tour. She allowed plenty of time to take photos, keep us cool and answer questions. It was a very hot day, so the gardens underwhelmed me, but I didnt allow enough time so probably missed the best parts.FFiona W
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5Easy to find meeting point. Good communication before the tour. We had an exclusive tour of parts of the Palace not included on a general admission ticket. Bo our guide was excellent, calm, clear, unhurried, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about Versailles. She made the tour interesting and enjoyable and we were so happy we booked this tour.SSibylle S
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5Everything went very smoothly, from the pickup at the meeting point through the entire tour, with no waiting time, and the young woman who led the tour was very knowledgeable, shared lots of historical details, and made the whole tour very interesting, so it was a real pleasure to listen to her. 😃NNancy F
FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Anna, our tour guide, was fabulous. Not only did she know all the details about Versailles but history, too, things I did not know. She maneuvered our group perfectly to find spaces where we could gather to listen to her insights. She was so friendly and kind. She really brought the Palace to life for us. Thanks, Anna!

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.
