La visite guidée du palais comprend les appartements d'État du roi et de la reine, la chapelle royale et la galerie des glaces, une galerie richement décorée qui abrite 357 miroirs, des baies vitrées et des lustres en cristal.
Découvrez les célèbres jardins à la française; un parc de 2000 acres conçu par André le Notre avec ses magnifiques bosquets, statues et fontaines. Selon le jour et l'heure de l'année où vous vous joindrez à la tournée, vous aurez l'occasion d'avoir un aperçu du Fountains Show ou du Musical Gardens avant de retourner à Paris.

Our guide for our small group tour drove the second vehicle with another seven people in addition to the five in our van. Did not feel like a small group tour. We had some mixup getting into Versailles and there was an altercation between our guide and the entry staff. Our guide Wasted too much time in crowded rooms of the palace. At least three large groups passed ours. He was excited to mention Thomas Jefferson’s black wife and the children more than once. Half of the time, our guide was in a different room from at least six people in our group so we had difficulty hearing him, even with the whisper ear devices. The two other people that had been in our van taking the ride to Versailles left the tour while we were in the Palace. After the Palace, we were told we had 50 minutes to be back at the parking lot. I told our guide to leave if we were not there. We were looking forward to experiencing the musical fountains. I was not sure we could do the fountains, and return to the parking lot in time. So, I told our guide, twice, that if we didn’t return the parking by the time he gave us that they should return without us. We would get a cab for our return. I still received two texts about the rendezvous time. Overall, a little disappointing. It felt like our guide was determined to do this experience his way, and he had no interest in anyone else’s experience. The whole experience was hard to follow. Drama is not an activity I enjoy on vacation. I would not recommend this guide. The Palace is certainly the star. But the musical fountains are not to be missed. Our guide was a solid 2.0 on a 5.0 scale.
We were looking forward to this tour but the other couple that arrived the day before had an issue that made it impossible for us to participate in this tour. When this issue occurred we were inside of their 24 hour cancellation policy for refunds. We tried unsuccessfully to contact the tour operator by phone and by message to reschedule with no response. I asked the tour operator if they would refund my money as a good faith gesture. They decided to keep my money and deny my request - not very helpful and poor business practice. I guess that the tour would have been good but their lack of contact coupled with their poor business practices makes this tour less than acceptable. Pay attention to the Terms And Conditions!!!
Our guide Gilbert was impeccable. Kind, communicative, and clear throughout the tour. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the palace, the Kings Louis/Marie Antoinette, and the era. I left with such a deeper appreciation for the history of this place and the people of it and France than I expected. I’ve been on probably 100s of castle/palace tours, and to be honest I wasn’t exactly ecstatic about the idea of the tour before we went, but I was just so impressed by it all. That feeling was in no small part because of this tour. Given the crowd sizes as Versailles, I also highly recommend this tour as a it’s a small group tour with 8 people maximum. First, the transit to/from the grounds is very comfortable. Next, you have many chances to ask questions and dive deeper into different areas of the tour. And third, the small group also gives you more time on your own to explore a few areas and take incredible pictures. My only suggestion for how to make the tour better would be to add additional time and include an option for an included golf cart rental so that we can see more of the gardens. They were so incredible, but with only about 30 minutes of time on our own for them, there’s not much we could see in person. Overall though, I wouldn’t change anything about the actual palace tour itself. Oh and also, the tour office (where you meet your guide for the transport) has a very well maintained restroom you can use before and after the tour. Definitely a bonus!
Go see the gardens immediately after the palace or you won’t have enough time! We loved the tour and our guide - we just wish we’d had an extra hour!
Very efficient and knowledgeable tour guide. I really enjoyed the history and stories she shared. I highly recommend this tour.
From start to finish, the tour at the Louvre with Matt was great. He was waiting exactly where I was told to expect him and was wonderfully knowledgeable throughout the tour. Highly recommended!
Everything was very organized and great information was given by our guide. I highly recommend this tour!
Michelle was an excellent guide,quite knowledgeable ,funny and theatrical. First class. She took care of her group, dressing down other visitors who got in our space.
Great tour with Michelle. She is amazing! Her knowledge of the royal families history and the political intrigue was fascinating. The wealth on display is hard to comprehend.
It was a truly beautiful experience to share with family and to immerse myself in the rich history I had previously studied.
