Versailles tickets were sold out on line but headout made it happen for us in addition we had the bed tour guide who was so versed in the history of Versailles and took us places that other tours don't go. A fantastic experience. Really, memorable.

It was a really nice tour. And since it was the weekend, we were even able to go into a part of the castle that you’re not allowed to enter without a tour guide. It was 100% worth it!

Our guide Mathis was very good. He tells the history of the palace in a funny way that keeps us engaged in the tour. I love how everything was on time. There were two guests with walking sticks and Mathis was very accommodating. He got seats for them to sit so they didn't have to stand as long. He also offered to take our picture in the picture room as our group was not so big!

Our 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.

Succinct information. The context of objects / art was made clearly in relation to history and the political or social environment at the time. We took far more out of it than had we nit joined the tour. The 1.5hr was perfect for our 3 children.

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!
