Well-organized, quick access to the castle, followed by information and anecdotes about life in the castle. The size of the entire complex is impressive.

An exclusive guided tour of King Louis XIV's private apartments, followed by a self-exploration of the Versailles Palace.

Walk through different rooms at the apartment—the clock, the dispatch, the games room, and the bedchamber, admiring the intrinsic details of furnishings and interiors.

From the King’s Apartments, you’ll enter the Hall of Mirrors, where you’ll have the opportunity to take photos and soak in the grandeur of this iconic setting.

After your 90-minute tour, skip the ticket line and explore the palace at your own pace.

Visit the State Apartments, admire the Hall of Mirrors, tour the Gallery of Coaches, and take a rejuvenating stroll through the French-style gardens.

Everything and the guide were perfect. However, I don't understand the pricing: you charged me 330 euros, when the actual price of the tour was 180 euros for 4 people!!!

Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the place and the history of the era. She was engaging and often times, I felt we were the only tour in the room, despite being an extremely busy day at the Palace.

Enjoyed the day. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the experience worthwhile. The headsets were a great touch to allow us to hear her well in the crowded rooms.
