What you can expect

The Ultimate Versailles Day Trip in Paris - Versailles4.jpg

Step into the world of French royalty with a deep-dive tour of Versailles, starting just a few minutes' walk from the palace. Your local guide will take you through the iconic Royal Apartments and the glittering Hall of Mirrors before leading you into the lush formal gardens. But Versailles has more to offer: wander the peaceful paths to the Grand and Petit Trianon, and explore Marie Antoinette’s fairytale-like Hamlet — a glimpse into her personal escape from court life.

This experience is designed for those who want to go beyond the highlights and enjoy a complete Versailles visit at a relaxed pace. Your host will share insights about court life, royal intrigues, and everyday details that shaped this famous palace. Expect fascinating stories, beautiful views, and plenty of memorable photo opportunities.
