About this activity

Discover two of Paris’ most famous landmarks on this day trip, which includes a guided tour of the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles with a two course lunch included near the Eiffel Tower.

Our small groups allow for a richer, more intimate experience.

Spend an unforgettable, stress-free morning with a skip-the-line tour around the Palace of Versailles, former residence of Louis XIV. This sumptuous royal palace was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. You will be blown away by the golden bedroom of the King, Royal Chapel and the Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery which boasts 357 mirrors; French bay windows and crystal chandeliers.

Then discover the famous gardens à la française; a 2,000 acre park designed by André le Notre with its magnificent groves, statues, and fountains.

Recover your strength with a two course lunch overlooking the Eiffel Tower, before your afternoon adventure begins.

Your guide will usher you past the long lines for a 2-hours guided tour of one of the world’s largest and most popular museums. From a medieval fortress, Renaissance palace and luxurious home to Kings and Emperors, the Louvre has been a symbol of the wealth, power and decadence of the French monarchy for over 600 years.

You will marvel at the iconic glass pyramid and admire the museum’s masterpieces: the Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace, and David’s Coronation of Napoleon. Not forgetting of course the infamous smile of Lady Mona Lisa herself!

At the end of the tour you will have the possibility to spend more time in the Louvre to visit other sections of the museum independently.

The tour was very good and being able to skip the line was fantastic as the line can be very long to get into the attractions. The lunch was in a nice location on the river by the Eiffel Tower however the food was bland and you only got one choice: chicken (which was dry) and veggies or fries.
