Versailles — Palace & Gardens Private Tour
Versailles is more than a palace: it is an incomparable garden and the city that was the centre of power in France from 1682 to the Revolution, under Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI. Your licensed guide brings to life the court, its etiquette, its intrigues — and the absolute power of the Sun King.
The King’s and Queen’s State Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors, the Gallery of Great Battles, then the gardens, groves and fountains designed by Le Nôtre. Choose the formula that suits you: the palace in two hours, the palace and gardens in a half day, or the whole estate including the Trianon and the Queen’s Hamlet in a full day.
