Full description
Hidden away from the modern world, this majestic European castle on the outskirts of Paris is a perfectly preserved example of the reckless extravagance of the French monarchy. Experience life at its most luxurious, in a setting of lush rolling lawns that stretch as far as the eye can see. Meet your guide at a central location in Paris and board a private, air-conditioned tour bus to Versailles. Skip the lines at the entrance with your pre-booked admission to Versailles, where your guide will lead you through the gardens and palace. Marvel at the sheer size of the Palace of Versailles, one of the largest and most spectacular castles in the world, boasting 700 rooms. See the incredible array of fine art and the intricate designs of the 1,250 fireplaces. Work your way through the palace’s highlights, including the king’s and queen’s apartments, the chapel, the Coronation Room, the Hall of Mirrors, and the Salon of Abundance. Head out into the sunlight and visit the manicured gardens, covering an area of 1,800 acres. Take some time to experience the gardens at your leisure, wandering through their beautiful olive groves and lawns, before boarding your return coach to Paris.

We were sold tickets to the palace and the gardens with transportation, but the departure time for the bus didn't allow even a close amount of time to visit the gardens, so the choice was just see a little of the gardens or find our own way back to Paris. Can't say enough good things about our guide, Anna, she was extremely enthusiastic and a joy to be around.

From pick up to drop off, the whole trip was great. We got a lot of extra information from the guide about the palace and grounds. The tour portion was about 1 1/2 hours which was the perfect amount of time without being overwhelming for the children traveling with us.

This was 100% worth the money! I wanted to visit but I didn’t want to find separate transportation. This tour worked out the best and I learned so much during the tour. Gregory (our tour guide) did a great job of explaining the history behind each location we visited and even share some facts about the gardens. I would definitely recommend and I would suggest going on a day that offers the musical gardens.
