Versailles is massive and can feel a bit like a marathon if you don't have a plan. I like to keep it focused. We’ll hit the big, famous rooms you’re expecting, but I’ll also point out the small details that most people walk right past. Inside the Palace, we’ll move at your speed. I’ll tell you the stories of how the kings and queens actually lived—the weird court rules, the political drama, and how a hunting lodge became the center of the world. Then we’ll step outside. The gardens are huge, so I’ll give you an orientation to the layout so you can explore on your own afterward without getting lost. If you have kids or if you’re a history buff, let me know. I can tilt the tour toward more stories or

From Paris: Versailles Palace Live Tour with Gardens Access

Sara_T, Oct 2026

Versailles with Valerie!

Viator partners with Get Your Guide to conduct this tour. We did the half-day at Versailles with a palace tour and a self-guided garden tour. Our guide for the palace tour was Valerie and she was absolutely wonderful! She was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and very fun. We really enjoyed her humor and learned so much at the same time.

StephGlover, Oct 2026

Well worth the visit with this company!

We had a lovely guide - Anastasia, who wrote her own script. She shared a lot of interesting history, was easy to understand, and very engaging. There was a lot of walking and crowds. Best to do this trip in the morning so you’re finished for the midday and 2pm fountain displays. The line in the afternoon when we left was very long so we were glad we came in the morning.

I like the way this tour...

I like the way this tour focused on Versailles. The hotel pick up & drop off was extremely convenient, wish more tours did that. Would recommend this tour for those splitting time amongst many sightseeing spots. If you are absolutely fascinated with Versailles, might want to tackle this on your own and be there all day.

Stephanie Best Guide

What a wonderful experience. It was very interesting and historical and could have been very dry but Stephanie added so many inside stories about the royalty that lived there she had us raptured. Also laughing, she is very funny as well. Our cousins had been before but said this was worth paying again just to have Stephanie as our guide. So we all throughly enjoyed the experience.

Super friendly & informative!

So we were running late actually to our tour, when I called they were understanding although I made it just on time. Dave was SUPER sweet to walk us through the rain to meet up with our group in the gardens, and JF was funny yet very informative, and has a real appreciation for french culture through and through. They speak several languages, and have the type of friendliness that makes you want to visit their countries next as well. :D ~ Merci beaucoup! - Saunchè

jenncalvet, Sept 2026

The best day!

We spent 4 days in Paris and this was by far our favorite day! Our tour guide Nick was a real story teller, we learned so much from him! He has an amazing personality and we feel so lucky to have spent the day with him. The tour was small…only 11 of us. The bikes were great quality and the grounds were spectacular! We enjoyed the bike tour more than actually going inside Versailles. Do not hesitate to book this tour with Nick :)

Versailles Palace Guided Tour with Full access

Talena_C, Sept 2026

A must-see

A must see if you're in Paris. The tour was informative and the guide kept a great pace to keep us on track as we went through the various rooms. Once the tour is over, you still have access to go back through the rooms if you wanted to look again and also have access to the gardens and Petit Trianon for self-paced wandering. I thought the amount of time with the guide was perfect. Taking a longer guided tour would have been information overload!

Versailles Palace Private Tailored Guided Tour With Hotel Pickup

Cynthia_H, Sept 2026

Stress-free Way to Visit Versailles

We were very pleased with our Private Tour of Versailles. Our wonderful guide, Zara, picked us up promptly at our Paris hotel in a very clean and comfortable Tesla. She proved right away that she is a skilled and experienced driver in the crazy Paris traffic, maneuvering through the traffic circle around the Arch de Triumphe like a champ. Zara speaks English very well, and we had no difficulty understanding her. She began our tour immediately after our introductions, explaining the origins of the palace with Louis XIV and continuing, so that by the time we arrived at Versailles, we had a good understanding of what we were about to see. When we arrived at the palace, Zara dropped us off at the entrance while she located a parking space for her car. She was very clear about where we were to meet her. We didn't have to wait long, as she was able to park and get back to us within a few minutes. She got us right into the palace, skipping the lines that were already forming. Once inside, she provided us with listening devices with ear buds so that we could hear her clearly over the other guides in the crowded venue. We were very pleased with her knowledge of Versailles and the history of France and the events leading up to the French Revolution that she shared with us as she expertly guided us from room to room. She also provided us with an opportunity to enter and photograph the amazing gardens. During our return drive to Paris, our guide pointed out landmarks and made suggestions of other things we might be interested in doing and seeing while in Paris. Again, we were impressed with her ability to navigate Paris traffic and drop us off safely at our hotel. We were very happy with our experience.

Versailles Small Group Guided Tour with Local Guide

The palace of Versailles and garden tour

Words cannot describe your visit to the Palace of Versailles - you must go and see it! We booked the 9:00AM tour which was great because is was at opening time before all the crowds arrived. Our tour guide was Olivia and she was spectacular. She helped us understand the history of Versailles with telling us wonderful stories instead of stating lots of boring facts. She had a great sense of humor. She was professional and considerate of out group and others around us. We used the whisper headsets and they worked great. The palace is beyond words - so impressive and a must see. We packed a lunch and found a nice spot in the gardens to enjoy it. It was very hot the day we went so we rented one of the golf carts to ride around the garden. It was well worth the 40 euro! We had such an enjoyable day. I highly recommend booking this tour.
