About this experience
Versailles becomes effortless when your tickets and route are handled for you. This guided tour pairs timed entry to the Palace of Versailles with an expert guide who brings the state apartments, the Royal Chapel, and the dazzling Hall of Mirrors to life. You step inside with timed entry and go straight into the former heart of the French court, learning the stories behind the Bourbon monarchy as you go. After the guided rooms, you receive an introduction to the Gardens of Versailles, then explore the sweeping parterres, fountains, and groves at your own pace, with time to reach the Trianon Estate. It is a relaxed, well-paced way to see the highlights without the stress of planning.
