Versailles Tour
Versailles is world famous for its awe-inspiring, extravagant palace and breathtakingly beautiful gardens. You’ve experienced the excitement and wonder of cosmopolitan Paris – now journey back in time with us! Revel in the over-the-top decadence, harmonious open spaces, and luscious splendor of an intricately-landscaped paradise just a short ride from the capital. We walk you around and through these enchanted grounds and reveal the stories of the shamelessly self-indulgent kings, queens and consorts of 17th and 18th century France. Unravel the glory of the Sun King, the stifling court etiquette, and the scandals that rocked the monarchy and ignited the Revolution. Hear the fantastic myths and legends behind the statues and fountains. Explore with us the hidden corners you wouldn’t find on your own!
If you’d like to actually venture inside (an additional €15.00), we’ll even show you how to avoid the lines and get the best-priced tickets!
Take advantage of our group discount of 10% for groups of 10 or more!
This tour makes use of the RER C train journey. Both train tickets are included in the price.
Versailles Gardens may close during periods of extreme weather. In this unlikely event, we will be unable to run our Versailles Tour and your ticket will be fully refunded.
