What to expect

Step into the lavishness of French royalty with a skip-the-line guided tour of the Palace of Versailles. Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll uncover the secrets of the Sun King’s court, the grandeur of the State Apartments, and the awe-inspiring Hall of Mirrors, where pivotal moments in history unfolded. Your guide will animate Versailles with tales of Louis XIV, Marie-Antoinette, and the daily customs of court life.

You'll meander through the King’s and Queen’s Apartments, admiring the painted ceilings, gilded décor, and complex furnishings that epitomised absolute monarchy at its zenith. Following the palace visit, you'll have leisure time in the Gardens of Versailles, crafted by landscape architect André Le Nôtre. You can amble among impeccably maintained lawns, fountains, and sculptures, and on selected days (from spring to autumn), witness the Musical Gardens or Fountain Shows.

Additionally, you'll have the chance to explore the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon, the refined hideaways favoured by Louis XIV and Marie-Antoinette. Discover their personal interiors and surrounding estate at your own rhythm in a self-guided experience.
