Thanks to the staff, very helpful and supportive, we was accidentally waiting for bus in wrong place and the guide found us and escorted us to the bus. In general the excursion was perfect, how I love, we came to the Palace, the company staff were accompanied to the entrance and took care we were going in right place, after we fallow the installed in smartphone app, smart guide, which allowed us to avoid queue for audio guide.

Everything went really well with the tickets from Headout. We had booked the transfer from Paris to our destination as well as entry to Versailles Palace and the gardens. We were greeted and briefed in a friendly manner at the meeting point. A bus took us to the Palace of Versailles on time. From then on, we were able to explore the palace and gardens on our own. It was possible to take a transfer back to Paris, but we didn't use it as we stayed there for a long time. A wonderful day.

The directions for leaving were clear. Coming back however.... there was some confusion leaving because there were different groups getting on the same bus but nothing was explained to everyone so people thought they were going to be left behind.

    Nothing to love, it was just a bus ride and a ticket, and the reseller provided bad information where to meet the Gray line crew that was providing the bus ride.

    It is a great place to visit, it woulb be great if we could spend 1 more hour at the palace and the gardens. The palace ita very crowded and then you just get a little time for the gardens. But overall, it was very good.
  • A place of immense beauty, the Palace of Versailles stands as a symbol of France’s monarchy and its glorious history. Exploring it is a once-in-a-lifetime affair!

    Travel in the lap of comfort with stress-free round-trip travel from Paris

    Avoid the hassle and stress of planning your travel from Paris to Versailles; with these tickets, your logistics are sorted! Sit back and relax with round-trip bus transfers as you make your way to explore this marvel. Situated 30 mins outside Paris, in the village of Versailles, this elaborate complex once thrived as an epicenter of political power for the Kingdom of France. Begin your visit outdoors as you stroll along the cobblestone grounds, through the beautiful French gardens, and pass by the gorgeous Versailles fountains.

    Embrace the grandeur of the Palace

    "Your host will escort you to the entrance, where you will get to bypass the long queues and make your way directly into the Palace. Once inside, enjoy access to the most famous places within the Castle with your audioguide for company, providing you insight and information in up to 11 languages! Explore the ornate King and Queen's State Apartments. Learn about the French monarchy and peek into the private lives of King Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.

    Next, make your way to the glittering Hall of Mirrors. Connecting the 2 aisles of the palace, the impressive hall has been deemed one of Louis XIV’s best contributions to the Palace. Historically, it is also where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, ending WWI. Once your visit is winding down, meet up with your host and return to Paris in your own time."
