What to expect

This tour offers a refreshing deviation from the typical Versailles script. You'll journey from Paris under the guidance of a local trip leader, eliminating any transit-related stress. Upon arrival at Versailles, you'll begin with a leisurely walk through the renowned gardens, immersively introduced to Louis XIV's grand vision. The sweeping views, majestic fountains, and geometric precision are sure to captivate you. As you explore, you'll learn how elements such as Apollo, the Grand Canal, and the Orangerie were meticulously designed to reflect royal power.

The tour then takes an exclusive turn as you venture into areas typically off-limits to visitors: the King’s Private Apartments. Once accessible only to the monarch’s inner circle, these rooms provide a rare insight into the private life of royalty. Depending on the day, your visit may also include the Royal Chapel or the Royal Opera House, areas often overlooked by most tourists.

Your exploration continues through the palace’s iconic rooms, including the Hall of Mirrors, Queen’s Apartments, and War and Peace Salons. By this stage in the day, the crowds have usually dispersed, allowing for a more tranquil and relaxed experience of Versailles. With a return train ticket included in your package, you're free to return to Paris at your own pace after the tour concludes.

This is not just a tour; it's an intimate encounter with history that promises an unforgettable experience.
