Itinerary
A licensed, passionate guide helps you discover the best of Versailles, the palace of The Sun King. Admire the State Apartments of Louis XIV and the breathtaking Hall of Mirrors.
The Hall of Mirrors is a symbol of political, economic and artistic success of France. Take time to learn why from your guide.
After exiting the palace, you will have free time to discover the beautiful French-style gardens with 55 fountains.
Tours include a lunch break at the historic and picturesquely situated "La Flotille" restaurant, with the gourmet three-course lunch purchased separately. After lunch, your guide will take you to Grand Trianon, which was used like private palace by Louis XIV. As with time the main palace became very busy, the Sun King wanted another place to escape from the crowds. And so became Grand Trianon, made from pastel-pink marble.
You will also discover the Queen’s Hamlet, a stylised Norman village and farm built for Marie Antoinette where she retreated with her closest friends to enjoy an intimately rustic life.

Julian was extremely helpful! He secured a wheelchair and expertly navigated Versailles while sharing his vast knowledge! Thank you for helping my sister to make a wonderful memory!
My guide was so knowledgeable about all the little details of Versailles and all the moments of history that lead to Versailles being used as the palace. I loved learning about why specific paintings were in each room and what the room was meant to convey. My guide knew the timings in the fountains, which only run for 1 hour, 3 days a week, and he made sure I saw them before they shut off. I chose this tour as a solo traveler who wanted all the history & details of Versailles, the gardens, as well as Trianon and it was even better than I expected. I couldn’t have had a better experience!

Not enough superlatives to describe the exceptional quality of our guide Zara. She was perfect in every way and we learned SO much! She made sure we experienced every single point of interest listed on the itinerary and knew how to navigate the crowds. We were especially thankful to tour both Grand and Petit Trianon with her and enjoyed visiting Marie Antoinette’s hamlet. Lunch at La Flotille was also wonderful and she made a long 8.5 hour day fly by. It was totally worth the high cost.
Long day but very interesting and very educational. Thank you Zara for being a great guide, and very nice.
Wonderful drive and tour of all that Versailles offers. Weather was cold but guide took good care of us.
Great experience if you are looking for a private and in depth tour. Zara was great at giving detailed explanations and personalizing the experience to our wishes.
A private guide is the ONLY way to tour something as large and crowded as Versailles. Zara was an exceptional guide!
Versailles is stunning with the painted ceilings and beautiful furnishings. The topping on the cake is Marie Antoinette’s farm. It truly takes you back in time. And there are no crowds there. You can take your time and soak it all in. There are even animals there. Our guide, Chris provided great information and answered all our questions. A truly special day
We loved this tour, we had Rosanna. It was worth every penny and we actually received information about other monuments that we passed on the way out of Paris and wouldn’t have otherwise seen, in addition to receiving information and the history of Paris. We loved the restaurant choice near Versailles. We appreciated her tailoring the tour to our needs. She was very attentive, patient and kind.
Our guide, Anne-Laure was excellent! Became a fast friend. We felt like we had a new member of the family by the end of the day. She was sensitive to our interests and desires throughout the day. We saw as much of Versailles as we could in an entire day. Thank you!
