    Ticketing experience was fine. No issues. What I had a problem with was some minor organizational issues. We are told to be 15 minutes early. We waited for 2 people for 10 minutes past the tour departure time. Why bother being early? Someone asked if we were able to leave items on the bus, we were told that the bus was going to be making other trips while we were in Versailles, so "probably not a good idea". The answer should have been "no." Versailles is an amazing place, and it was wonderful to see it and learn about it's very interesting past.

    The tour was great and so very enjoyable with our tour guide OMAR!!! He was superb and funny and so interactive with so much knowledge, gave us great insights and historical information. Both me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Omar!
  • There is a certain magic that fizzes through the air in the Palace and Gardens of Versailles. Hidden away from the modern world, this majestic European castle on the outskirts of Paris is a perfectly preserved example of the reckless extravagance of the French monarchy.

    What can you expect from this tour?

    With a maximum of 25 people per group, your tour of Versailles will be intimate, unhurried, and enjoyable. Skip the lines to Versailles as your guide will lead you from one marvelous room to the next, pointing out where Louis XIV tormented his friends and family with long, boring ceremonies and where it was that Marie Antoinette ate her cake.

    Marvel at the sheer size of the Palace of Versailles, one of the largest and most beautiful castles in the world with a whopping 700 rooms. Peruse its incredible array of fine art and the intricate design of its 1250 fireplaces as you work your way through the highlights of the castle including the King and Queen’s apartments, the Chapel, the Coronation Room, the Hall of Mirrors, and the Salon of Abundance – how many residences can boast one of those? And just when you think that you have seen all that the Palace of Versailles has to offer, you’ll burst into the sunlight and encounter its dazzling manicured gardens, over 1,800 acres in size.

    Stroll the beautiful Gardens of Versailles

    Choose a date when either the famous Versailles Fountain Show or Musical Gardens are running (all running days from Apr to Oct, except Wed & Thu). The Versailles Fountain Show is a wonderful musical event held in the exclusive groves, designed by André Le NÎtre. Watch fountains explode to the sounds of a cello at the Fountain Show or just be enchanted by the simple beauty of classical music played in beautiful surroundings during the Musical Gardens event.
