Itinerary

Paris

Meet your guide in Paris and enjoy a comfortable ride together by train to Versailles. After a short stroll to the palace, your guided tour will begin.

1 hour
Palace of Versailles

Time to discover the grandeur of the French monarchy. Originally a hunting lodge, King Louis XIII transformed the site into the iconic Versailles Palace and Gardens in the 17th century, now designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. As you skip the line with your guide to enter the palace, you'll discover over 2,000 rooms, each adorned with exquisite art and treasures, offering a glimpse into the opulence of the French royal court. This estate served as the epicenter of French power and luxury during the reign of King Louis XIV, who spared no expense in his pursuit of perfection. Your expert guide will share fascinating tales of the court's lavish lifestyle and the notorious scandals that rocked Versailles during its heyday. The palace's stunning design also offers breath-taking views of the manicured gardens.

1 hour 30 minutes
La Galerie des Glaces

The Hall of Mirrors is undoubtedly the most renowned room in the entire Palace of Versailles, measuring almost 70 yards in length and featuring an astonishing 357 mirrors. Originally designed to reflect light and protect the walls from smoke, the mirrors created an enchanting effect by reflecting candlelight throughout the room. On June 28th, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles, which marked the end of World War I, was signed in this iconic room. With thousands of rooms to explore, a self-guided tour of the Palace of Versailles can be overwhelming. A guided tour with a knowledgeable local guide is the perfect way to make sure you see all the highlights, including the opulent King's State Apartments and the apartments of Louis XV's daughters.

30 minutes
Jardins du Chateau de Versailles

Your journey through Versailles doesn't stop at the palace - your guide will introduce you to the legendary Gardens of Versailles and will share some of the garden's captivating stories. Covering almost 2,000 acres, these immaculately tended gardens boast over 400 sculptures and 1,400 fountains, and have inspired countless other gardens around the world. But your tour doesn't end there! With your ticket, you'll also have access to Marie-Antoinette's Trianon Estate, a separate palace-like complex located within the larger Versailles grounds. After the intro to the gardens, you can either choose to explore this estate at own pace, and when you're ready, head back to Paris at your own convenience, or join our guide back to Paris after the introduction to the gardens.
