Good to Know

Your tour departs from the Pullman Hotel in Paris, so arrive 15 minutes early for departure. The experience includes comfortable roundtrip transport, removing the hassle of navigating public transport to Versailles. You must bring valid photo ID for security checks at the palace.

The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users, and comfortable walking shoes are essential as you'll be exploring both the palace and gardens on foot. The tour does not include hotel pickup, so make your way to the Pullman Hotel meeting point independently.

While in Paris, you might also enjoy exploring other royal sites like Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie, which offer insight into medieval French monarchy. For a different perspective on Parisian grandeur, consider the guided Louvre Museum tour to see royal art collections and French masterpieces in the heart of the city.
