Palace of Versailles & Gardens: Small-Group Guided Tour + Transport

Care to snoop around the most over-the-top royal crib of them all? Be transported from central Paris to the Palace of Versailles on an enchanting guided tour of this majestic UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander starry-eyed around the opulent State Apartments, the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, the ornate Royal Chapel, and the immense gardens.

An expert guide will bring the palace's history to life, and an optional headset will make sure you can hear everything.

Arriving in an organized group means you can skip the long lines to get into the palace – which is a good thing as there is a lot to see. Your legs will thank you later!

The obscene level of grandeur and luxury on display at the Palace of Versailles symbolized the disparity between the rich and poor in 18th-century France. The palace was stripped of all its finery during the French Revolution. Luckily, much of it was returned over the years, and it makes almost eight million people a year feel perhaps just a little bit revolutionary!

Your guide will lead you through French history as you explore room and galleries. Afterward, you'll have time to wander the immaculate gardens and ponder the virtues of eating cake.
