I am glad we had a guide so we could know what we saw during the tour trough the palas. The gardens was lovely but I was a bit dissapointed for the little train that just went putside the gardens.

The guide was correct...a little difficult the language because her mother tongue was not Spanish...so for a moment the visit was monotonous.

WE WERE DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC AND YOU CONTACTED US TO IDENTIFY A MEETING POINT FOR THE TOUR GROUP SCHEDULED FOR 11.45 ON 20.07.24. FROM THEN ON THE TOUR WAS SUPER SPECTACULAR AND WE LISTENED THROUGH THE EARPHONES TO ALL THE DETAILS EXPLAINED BY THE EFFICIENT GUIDE, WHO I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KEEP HER NAME SO I COULD CONGRATULATE HER.

Unfortunately, we arrived a few minutes late. And had trouble finding our tour. I was looking for the Headout logo and after asking a few groups, I figured out that the guide for Headout was carrying a different flag. We managed to find a group that was just about to go into Versailles, and although it only covered part of what we paid for the guide was nice enough to include us in her tour. Although we allowed plenty of time to arrive the traffic in Paris was terrible due to the Olympics. Better communication from Headout would've helped to make for a smoother experience , the tour itself very good although we ended up paying twice for the garden entrance, it was a very pleasurable day.

It was unclear where to meet up at the start & there was a lack of interest employees in getting us to the right place. Our guide was entertaining & informative. She was quite subjective with her opinions however & we would like to have known more about the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919.

Your experience

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!
