Private Full-Day Palace and Park of Versailles Guided Tour
1 day
About this activity
Start your private full-day tour with a 9am pickup at your Paris hotel, then take a seat in your air-conditioned minivan for the journey to the UNESCO–listed Palace of Versailles — widely considered among France’s top attractions. Along the way, listen as your private guide delves into palace’s colorful history.
On arrival at around 10am, follow your private guide on a tour of the opulent state apartments and gain insight into royal life here during the reign of Louis XIV of France in the 17th century.
Step outside into the gardens — where pretty fountains hide among the manicured flowerbeds and lawns — and admire panoramic views over the grounds and palace from the winding pathways.
After lunch in Versailles Park (own expense) explore the Grand and Petit Trianon — where King Louis XIV entertained guests in a less formal setting away from the palace. Afterward, continue on to the Hameau de la Reine — the Queen’s Hamlet — a peaceful retreat where Queen Marie Antoinette could relax at her leisure.
When your time at the Palace and Park of Versailles comes to an end, return in comfort to your Paris hotel at approximately 5pm.

I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Kevin, was knowledgeable and charming. He picked us up at our hotel and we did not have to do anything except enjoy the day! It was truly a skip the line experience. We went right in upon arriving. Kevin explained everything that we saw. Afterwards we went to see the Petit Trianon and walked the grounds. Kevin told us stories and anecdotes and took us to see Marie's grotto. We would never have seen all of these hidden treasures and heard the stories on our own. It was a very enjoyable experience indeed!
Well worth it to see things in a compressed time period.
Incredible! It was well worth the money. The convenience of being picked up at my hotel, a full-day tour, lunch, and access to areas not usually open was beyond compare . Plus, the fact that a general strike was in effect and no one was there was great! The guide's knowledge of Versailles, history and art history increased the pleasure. I highly recommend this tour!
