Versailles Half Day Private Guided Tour with Hotel Pick-up

Versailles Private Guided Tour

SKIP THE LINE TICKET ENTRANCE |

DESCRIPTION :

Your experience begins with a pickup service at your Paris hotel in a luxurious 8-seat minivan. You’ll enjoy priority access to the Palace of Versailles, allowing you to spend less time in lines.

Upon arrival at the palace, you will meet your private guide at the entrance to start your guided tour. Your guide will lead you through the King’s State Apartments, including the famous Hall of Mirrors, the Salon of Peace, and the Hall of Battles. These iconic rooms will immerse you in the history of the French monarchy.

The guided tour lasts approximately 2 hours, during which your guide will provide detailed insights into the history and secrets of the palace. You’ll learn about life at the royal court, including the grand festivities, entertainments, and strict etiquette.

After the guided tour, you’ll have about 2 hours to explore the magnificent gardens of the Palace of Versailles on your own. These gardens are a work of art themselves, designed by the renowned landscaper Le Nôtre. Additionally, you can enjoy an additional 30 minutes of guided exploration in the gardens to learn more about their features and history.

If you opt for a full-day tour, your experience will continue with a visit to the Estate of Marie-Antoinette. You’ll explore the Petit Trianon, a royal residence gifted to Marie Antoinette by her husband, Louis XVI. You’ll also discover the fanciful village that the Queen famously created, complete with cottages, a mill, a lighthouse, and even a farm with its own dairy, where many animals can still be seen today. Tickets for the Trianons are included, but visitors can explore these areas on their own without a guide.

At the end of your visit, your driver will pick you up at Versailles to return you to Paris, dropping you off at your hotel or residence. This is an exceptional experience that allows you to delve into the royal history of France and explore the beauty of the Palace of Versailles and its gardens, with added time for independent exploration and garden guidance.

    We were very pleased with the tour. Isabel is a master of her trade, just the right amount of information and able to provide any additional detail requested. She was amazing at navigating the crowds and getting us to where we could best view the room and listen to her interpretation.
