We tried to buy the €20 tickets but they were sold out so had to buy the €40 tickets for the guided tour of the King's Apartments. We were 25 mins early and stood in the 10.30 queue. Our tickets were checked by a staff member whilst we were in the long queue and we continued to wait. When we reached the front, the staff member there told us we were in the wrong queue, and sent us over to another part of the Palace. There were no signs to say which was the King's Apartment entrance. This meant we were now 10 minutes late for the guided tour, and someone had to take us through the apartments, to catch up with the rest of the group. The audio guide was excellent and very clear, which was important for me, as I am hearing impaired, and wear hearing aids. After the tour we visited other parts of the Palace, and then tried to enter the gardens. This cost us another €12 each as it was, apparently, a 'musical extravaganza.' This description was laughable, as there were no live musicians, but a continuously repeating recording of the same three pieces of music. We really feel we had a raw deal, since paying the price of €40, the gardens, (which are usually free) should have been included , regardless of your piped recordings. A very disappointing day indeed.

La guide était géniale, la visite splendide ! Seul bémol, les autres guides qui nous pressaient lorsque nous entrions dans les pièces manquant parfois de politesse face à notre jeune guide

The kindness and helpfulness of the lovely guide who was able toput us in the moment at various locations. As someone who needs a stick to walk I found that she was extreme;y courteous and helpful to me. The other staff at Versailles were also very kind and helpful.

Explore King's Chambers with this Headout exclusive tour

Find yourself zipping past the long lines at Entrance A and Entrance B! Headout ticket holders are prioritized before all other groups at the Palace of Versailles- ensuring you get ample time to explore the structure spread over 800-hectare

Enjoy this exclusive guided tour of the King’s Private Apartments with the palace's official English, Spanish, or French-speaking guide. Peek into the lives of French royalty with this tour that is generally closed to the public. The King's son, Louis XV had the Clock Room built inside the apartments. The room’s floor is a clock, displaying the day of the week, month, year, and the lunar quarter. It also features a crystal sphere depicting the solar system. You will also come across other interesting places like the Porcelain Dining Room, Louis XVI’s Library, and the Games Room, all of which were later added to the apartments.

Tour the Famed Hall of Mirrors

This tour also includes a visit to the Hall of Mirrors. Famous for being the venue of the “Treaty of Versailles”, it is one of the most iconic attractions in France. The hall also consists of artworks depicting famous historical events including: “The king governs by Himself”, “Reception of the Doge of Genea”, and “The Siamese Embassy."

Inaugurated as the largest concert hall, the Royal Opera is considered to be a spectacular work of architecture by Ange-Jacques Gabriel. Imagine the grandeur of past celebrations as you admire its lavish ballroom and more. If you visit the Royal Chapel, you'll get to see the Antiquity-inspired architecture and The Holy Trinity fresco in the vaulted ceiling.
