Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Palace of Versailles, Place d'Armes, 78000, Versailles France
The Palace of Versailles in true royal fashion. As your guide shows you around a carefully curated selection of the palace’s 700 rooms, you’ll hear stories of the Sun King, Louis XIV, his successors, their queens, mistresses, and courtiers – including Marie Antoinette and other notable figures. Versailles had its heyday in the 17th and 18th centuries, when the Sun King elevated Louis XIII’s humble hunting lodge into the official seat of the French court – and 300 years later, the palace has lost little of its glamorous excess.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: The Hall of Mirrors, Chateau de Versailles, 78000, Versailles France
Visit the breathtaking Hall of Mirrors inside Versailles while our passionate English-speaking guide marvels you with stories of the excesses of royal life, peaking under the Sun King, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Stop At: The Royal Chapel, Inside the Chateau Chateau de Versailles, 78000, Versailles France
Visit the opulent Royal Chapel during your tour of the Palace of Versailles.

If option selected, you'll have the opportunity to freely explore the gardens at your own pace and enjoy the musical show inside the gardens of Versailles.
The Gardens of the Palace of Versailles were designed by master gardener André Le Nôtre and court painter Charles le Brun, not as a respite from the palace, but as an extension of it – with every bit as much opulence (and intrigue) as the interior.

I learned so much about the history of Versailles on the tour. Our guide was known and shared a lot of great history behind the palace and the monarchy.

We arrived 15’ earlier to the exact location. It was raining hard after waiting and waiting we divided to leave thinking the tour was cancelled. I already wrote to the company, I want a full refund.

Our tour guide, Cosette, was excellent. She is so knowledgeable about so many things we were seeing and telling us about the history of the Louvre itself. I would give her a “10”!!
The only negative was the lack of clarity on the location of the meeting point. It is a huge area, so why not say the meeting point is beside the statue of Louis 14??

Our group guide Omar was fantastic, very knowledgeable and had a fun way of explaining the palace. The bus to and from Paris was nice and comfortable.
Maybe incorporate a guided tour of the gardens for an hour in the package provided and add a WhatsApp number to the contact information on the voucher.

This tour was just ok in my opinion. The transfer from Paris was easy to find and comfortable. They had the tickets for the palace and the gardens for us already, which was convenient. There was a guide through the palace, but it was so crowded that it was hard to follow him. I'm not really sure I gained much from having the guide. However, I think it would have been nice to have a guide in the gardens, but we did not.

When we originally booked our tour we were given a starting address for tour. We were at that spot to begin our tour and discovered they had changed the pick up location and we missed our tour, no refund or credit was discussed. We had already taken five other Viator tours on this trip with no problem. I am making a long story short but beware of Viator.
