Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned so much from her. She explained everything about what we were doing and what to expect. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our train to get to the meeting spot was canceled so we had to quickly shift gears & hail a cab to get there, arriving right at 10am thinking we missed it. Emma was there to greet us, she had texted me but I didn't receive it until later. She walked us over to meet Wade (I think that was his name) our tour guide + the rest of the group. Our tour guy was very helpful, knowledgable, engaging and answered all our questions! The big plus for us was that you had someone checking on people running late - really appreciate that! It was a great day at Versailles!

Travelling in Europe has really changed since my last visit in 2013 and i was surprised at how much was barrcaded in Versailles, particularly with respect to the entrance at the front gates. Nonetheless, the tour was excellent; Versailles remains a spectacular sight to behold and my adult son was mesmerized by the beauty and extent of the gardens as well. Our guide was forthcoming with an honest appraisal of the times of Louis XIV, his offspring and the suffering of the people of the times. I have seen/noticed and heard something new every visit and remain in awe of the splendour of the palace.

All was smooth, except the train was on strike. Given that there were 30 of us I thought a bus might be better. I felt that it was a bit rushed. Maybe because we got a late start.

Skip the Long Lines and Begin Exploring the Palace Immediately

With this ticket, you can skip the long lines and dive right into exploring the opulent palace halls and rooms as soon as you reach your destination. Deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Palace of Versailles received a whopping 7,700,000 tourists in 2017, making it one of the most visited sites in Paris alongside the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. The palace has spacious hallways with several beautiful and intricate sculptures lining the walls. Your audio guide will help you understand the significance of many of these artefacts as you explore the monument.

Admire Some of the Most Lavish Areas of the Palace

The King’s Grand Apartment, the Queen’s Grand Apartment, and the Coronation Room are some of the palace’s most gorgeous areas to visit. The Apartment of the King consists of seven interconnected salons, each dedicated to a classical Roman or Greek deity. The salons house some of the most amazing paintings from the Renaissance era, such as the painting of Mercury in his Chariot by Jean Baptiste de Champaigne in the Salon of Mercury, and the Meal at the House of Simon the Pharisee by Paolo Veronese in the Salon of Hercules. You will also have time to explore the famous Hall of Mirrors, a vast hall where guests were received and entertained.

Stroll through the Royal Gardens after your Palace Tour

Designed by André Le Nôtre under the aegis of Louis XIV, the garden in the Versailles Palace is home to over 200 statues, innumerable fountains, sprawling flower beds, and serene ponds. It is an excellent place to relax after your tour of the palace interiors. The garden comes alive with activity in the summer months when various events such as the Grandes Eaux are organized.

At the end of this tour, you would have explored and learnt about one of Paris’ grandest palaces. You can get back on the tour bus once you are done looking around and head back to the drop-off point in a comfortable coach.
