Palace of Versailles & Gardens: Priority Ticket + Guided Tour
Skip the queues at one of France's most magnificent royal palaces with this comprehensive guided tour of Versailles. Your priority entry ticket takes you straight into the opulent State Apartments where French kings lived and ruled for over a century. Follow your expert guide through the famous Hall of Mirrors, the lavish royal chambers, and learn about the daily intrigues of court life from Louis XIV to Louis XVI.
This four-hour tour covers the palace's grand interiors, the perfectly manicured gardens, and the intimate Trianon estates. You'll explore both the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon, the private retreats where royalty escaped formal court protocol. The tour concludes at Marie Antoinette's charming Queen's Hamlet, a rustic village where the queen played at simple country life whilst revolution brewed in Paris.
