Step into the opulence of French royalty with a skip-the-line guided tour of the Palace of Versailles, one of the world’s most magnificent landmarks.
With an expert guide, uncover the secrets of the Sun King’s court, the splendor of the State Apartments, and the iconic Hall of Mirrors. Hear stories of Louis XIV, Marie-Antoinette, and the daily rituals that defined life at court while admiring the palace’s painted ceilings, gilded décor, and rich furnishings.
After the palace visit, if you select the option including the Gardens and Trianons, enjoy free time in the Gardens of Versailles, designed by André Le Nôtre. Stroll among manicured lawns, fountains, and sculptures, and on selected days (spring to autumn), experience the Musical Gardens or Fountain Shows. You’ll also explore the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon, the private retreats of Louis XIV and Marie-Antoinette, at your own pace.
