What you can expect

Soak up French royal culture and history as you explore the opulent grounds of the 17th-century Palace of Versailles. With an engaging guide leading you between lavish rooms and expansive halls, explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and take a stroll through the palace's exquisitely manicured gardens.

Sit back as you're driven comfortably to the outskirts of Paris towards Versailles, where the palace's sprawling grounds welcome you to step back in time to the days of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and Marie Antoinette.

Venture inside the palace and discover a fantastic display of gold, marble, and mirrors. Your guide conjures up life in the palace, relaying its history and and tales about its royal inhabitants as you check out the ornate furnishings in the King and Queen's private apartments and wander the gilded features in the Hall of Mirrors.

Later, enjoy a relaxing stroll among the beautiful gardens' sculptures, statues, busts, and marble structures. Pause to reflect at the edge of the Grand Canal, wander through forests where royalty once hunted, and then head back to your comfortable coach for the return ride to Paris.

We were late because of the Paris traffic and were expecting to get tickets but we were told that were not able to get tickets and our money wasn’t returned either. I lost 300 dollars booking with them and honestly wouldn’t really recommend.

Disorganized, unprofessional, and disappointing. It was cold, and it was raining. We were left waiting under the rain. Then our tour guide disappeared and left us waiting for about an hour (under the rain & cold weather). The information the tour guide provided was unclear. Tour company said it was from 9:30am - 1:30pm.. the tour guide left us to get another group and ended the tour at 11:30am. While on our way to the bus.. the bus driver drove off and left us again under the cold & rainy weather amongst other things.

The tour departed late, when we arrived at the palace tickets had not been organized. We then proceeded to wait for 30min while the audio was sorted for the tour guide. Our tour guide was exceptional and did try to make up for the delays. The palace was so our crowded it did not make for a pleasant time.

Very entertaining tour. This was the best tour we’ve experienced here. The only drawback was the size of the venue because of its popularity. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This tour was great. I was running a bit behind the 11pm start time and managed to work it out. Had a lot of fun we went to the area called Bastillie and had some drinks, ate some food. Pombo was great guide and would recommend this tour for people coming to try some of the night life in Paris.

Tour guide guided our group 22 very quickly through the Palace. He claimed that he had another tour to guide, such that he left us at 5pm. The guide for group 21 stayed with the group inside the Palace till 5:50pm which is what the tour supposed to end. Additionally, the bus came late to pick us up from the parking lot. We were left in the rain while we were waiting for the bus in an uncovered parking lot. It was not worth to pay such an amount for this tour. Company should consider giving us (a group of eight ) compensation for what we had experienced.
