What you can expect

Explore Versailles: Royal Highlights with a Licensed 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.

Important note: tickets for this tour are not included in the price. Your host will arrange the necessary tickets for you.

Please make sure to contact your host before booking to confirm availability and discuss how ticket payment will be handled. This way, everything will be organized in advance for a smooth and enjoyable experience.
