Versailles Tours, Tickets & Things to Do
Wondering what to do in Versailles? Nearly everything starts at the château: a guided palace tour with reserved entry (€64–€90) is what most visitors book, and it is the only way to be walked through the King's State Apartments and the Hall of Mirrors without decoding the crowds yourself. Entry-only tickets run about €31, audio-guided garden walks from €10. Then comes the part people underestimate — the 800 hectares outside. Bike tours that stop at the Marché Notre-Dame and picnic by the Grand Canal cost €39–€109, golf-cart and Segway tours of the gardens €59–€199, and the full estate tour with the Grand Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet €145. From Paris, half-day trips with transport start at €89 and full days with lunch reach €199. Give the estate a full day if you can: the palace alone takes two to three hours, and the Trianon domain is a 25-minute walk or a €9 little-train ride from the main gates.

Is Versailles worth visiting?
Yes — it is the largest royal palace in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, and the gardens, Grand Canal and Marie-Antoinette's Hamlet make it a full day out rather than a museum stop. Around eight million people a year visit, so the difference between a great day and a miserable one is booking a timed entry and arriving early.
Do Versailles tours offer free cancellation?
Guided tours, bike tours and day trips from Paris can almost always be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. Timed palace entry tickets are the exception, because the slot is held in your name — check the policy shown on each listing before booking.
