What you can expect

Take the hassle out of your journey as you meet your friendly guide in central Paris and board a private, air-conditioned coach to the resplendent Palace of Versailles. Skip the long lines and step into the grandeur of this historic landmark, where you’ll marvel at the immaculate interiors and breathtaking gardens. Wander through the majestic rooms where Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI once entertained amid the extravagance and tension of a nation on the brink of revolution.

Step back in time into the world of French royalty and aristocracy, far removed from modern-day Paris. Feel the magic of the State Rooms and marvel at the opulence that perfectly illustrates the excesses of 18th-century monarchy.

Stroll through lavish halls and ceremonial spaces as your expert guide reveals the secrets of the palace. Explore the King and Queen’s Apartments, the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, the Chapel, and the Salon of Abundance,all brimming with history, art, and elegance.

If the garden access option is selected, continue outside to explore more than 1,800 acres of Versailles' renowned French-style gardens. Admire classical sculptures, ornate fountains, and manicured lawns as you immerse yourself in this iconic royal landscape at your own pace.

After some free time to enjoy the gardens, hop back aboard your return coach to Paris.
