The chateau and gardens count among the most prestigious monuments of the world’s artistic heritage, and are certainly the finest and most complete achievement of 17th century French art. Former residence of the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV, this sumptuous royal palace was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. The guided tour of the palace includes the State Apartments of the King and Queen, Royal Chapel and Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery which boasts 357 mirrors, french bay windows and crystal chandeliers.
Jardins du Chateau de Versailles
Admission included60 min
Discover the famous gardens à la française ; a 2,000 acre park designed by André le Notre with its magnificent groves, statues, and fountains. Depending on the day and time of the year you join the tour, you will have the opportunity to have a glimpse of the Fountains Show or the Musical Gardens show before returning to Paris.

Not that interesting
Shockingly boring. Lots of walking!! The opulence and grandeur was just not that interesting. The tour guide spoke excellent English but was rather flat and boring. It was very hot. The air conditioned van ride was good. We were able to walk right in and skip the line. In addition, the palace smells like cat piss. The guide explained that bathing rarely happened back in the day and it still smells like funk. Yikes!
I was too exhausted to spend much time in the gardens. But they are very beautiful with a long view.

Excellent way to see Versailles
I attempted to book only small group tours and this was a very wise choice. The guide and the driver made the day enjoyable. I think that this is a great way to see Versailles. All I had to do was get to the meeting location and they took care of everything else.

Lovely Giverny
There are lots of tourists at this site, as in all tourist attractions, but it still is lovely. The flowers are beautiful. Our guide was informative and fun.

The guide was very educational and entertaining. Versailles is very pretty but it doesn't have any user-friendly signage. Even so it is worth it
Very good experience and the guide was attentive and good. Clear explanation with accurate historical data. Thank you Ricardo

Good for condensed time
It was very hott and very busy but our guide Nikola was knowledgeable and quick so there was not a lot of lingering in crowded spaces which I liked. The grounds are enormous and an hour is not enough time to even begin to look around- especially in the heat. Id recommend doing a separate tour with golf cart for the grounds so you can really enjoy it.

Great Tour
Excellent tour. Only problem was with accessing the meeting point on the site. Every time we tried to access that information it would take us to book another tour.
