What you can expect

Explore Versailles: Royal Highlights with a Local Guide in Paris - Versailles3.jpg

Step into the grandeur of Versailles on this carefully curated 3-hour tour that brings royal history to life. With your timed-entry ticket in hand, you’ll explore the most iconic areas of the Palace of Versailles — including the glittering Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Chapel, and the State Apartments where kings and queens once lived in splendor.

After discovering the opulent interiors, enjoy a short walk through the formal French gardens, where you’ll admire grand fountains, sculpted hedges, and panoramic views of the Grand Canal. Though time won’t allow for a visit to the Trianon Palaces or Queen’s Hamlet, this experience gives you an essential and immersive introduction to the world of Louis XIV.

Whether it’s your first visit or a return to this UNESCO gem, this express-format tour balances depth with efficiency — perfect for travelers short on time, but not on curiosity.

To make the most of your time at Versailles, you need to book your entry tickets in advance. You can either purchase them yourself directly through the official website or ask your local host to arrange them for you by requesting a personalized offer. This helps avoid long lines and ensures smooth entry during busy hours
