What To Expect

Meet your guide for either your morning or afternoon Versailles tour at the Pyramides in central Paris. Climb into the comfortable air-conditioned coach for the roughly 1-hour drive to Versailles.The Palace of Versailles was originally built as a relatively modest hunting retreat for Louis XIII in 1623, but his successor - Louis XIV - expanded it and turned it into the symbol of luxury and extravagance that we know today. The palace we see today was completed in 1710, and remains one of the most famous palaces in Europe.When you arrive, walk past the queues with your guide thanks to your skip-the-line access. Follow along as your guide walks you through the Royal Apartments where the King and Queen of France, Louis XIV, and Marie Antoinette once spent the majority of their time.Visit the apartments of the Dauphin and Dauphine - the heirs apparent to the throne. See the various drawing rooms, private studies, and bed chambers where the royal family once lived, and imagine what life might have been like for them in the 17th and 18th centuries.Continue to one of the most photographed parts of Versailles, the Hall of Mirrors, built in 1678. Look around as your guide explains its most important features. The Hall of Mirrors leads from the Royal Apartments to the Salon de la Guerre and the Salon de la Paix.At the conclusion of your palace tour, enjoy some free time to explore the gardens at your leisure. Walk through the perfect gardens, studded with statues and sculptures, and admire the incredible fountains. On Saturday nights in the summer, those fountain displays are set to music that dates from the time of Louis XIV's court for a memorable visual and auditory experience.After your free time in the Versailles garden, rejoin your guide at the appointed location to climb back into the coach for the return drive to Paris.Please note: Visits on the first Sunday of every month will be unguided, and you will be provided with an audio guide.
