Tour of the Palace of Versailles

At your chosen time we'll depart from nearby the Eiffel Tower and, about 45 minutes later, we'll arrive in Versailles by bus, the de facto capital of France for several years during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

Once there, we'll enjoy a guided tour of the Palace of Versailles, that we'll access without waiting in line at the ticket office. On this tour we'll stop in different rooms of the palace, among which are the Grand Apartments of the King and Queen.

Of course, we'll also visit the Hall of Mirrors, where in 1919 the Treaty of Versailles was signed, which ended the First World War.

After the guided tour of the Palace of Versailles, which will last approximately 1.5 hours, you'll have free time to stroll around the gardens of Versailles at your leisure. In its more than 800 hectares (1,976 acres), you can admire trees and plants of all kinds, statues, and ponds. You'll also be able to see the fountains running, a beautiful sight to behold, on the days they're running.

Finally, from Versailles we'll return to the meeting point in Paris, where we'll arrive between 4 and 7 hours after the initial pickup, depending on the option you choose during the booking process.

4.5-Hour Tour + Audio Guide

With this option, you will only have included transportation between Paris and Versailles, as well as an audio guide in English to visit the palace on your own, which is downloadable on your tablet or cell phone. When you board the bus, the staff on board will explain how you can download the audio guide. To do so, you will need to scan the QR code displayed at your entrance to the Palace of Versailles.

Duration of the Tour

  • The duration of the guided tour of the Palace of Versailles will always be the same, i.e. 1.5 hours.
  • However, on morning departures, the free time available to visit the gardens will be longer.
  • In addition, with the 7-hour tour option, you can also take a free tour of the small and large Trianon palaces, which are located at the back of the garden of the Palace of Versailles.

Skip-The-Line Entrance

If you book the guided tour, we'll enter the Palace of Versailles through the entrance reserved for groups. If you book the audio-guided tour, we'll enter through the normal entrance.

In both cases, you won't have to wait in line at the ticket office, but you will have to wait in line at the security checkpoint at the entrances.
