Would not recommend. They are thieves. On the way back from the toll on the bus wallet out of my pocket. What was the last person on the bus contact the bus driver immediately. My wallet was returned. €250 were missing. Horrible experience.

See Versailles at its most opulent, with expert commentary on Baroque architecture, lavish décor, priceless artworks, and period furniture crafted for Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI.

Explore the estate beyond the palace, with time to wander the formal French gardens, enjoying access even on Musical Fountain and Musical Garden days.

Travel stress-free from Paris, with round-trip transfers by air-conditioned coach and live insights from your guide during the journey—so you can focus entirely on the royal experience.

Opt for the quieter side of Versailles in the afternoon with a guided visit to the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, and the Queen’s Hamlet, tucked away in a peaceful corner of the grounds.

Apart from the coach being 25mins for the morning pick up the organisation was good. Guide around the palace was very good and got us through the crowds well.

We were very happy with the tour to Versailles; the guide was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We left and arrived right on time. I would definitely take the tour again.
