Overview

You don’t just see the iconic Versailles on this private half-day tour: you’ll be immersed in the history of the Sun King’s palace. Upon pickup from your designated location in Paris, enjoy a totally private tour accompanied by both a chauffeur and your private guide. On the way to Versailles, you will have the chance to get to know your guide so that they can tailor the visit to your interests for a truly personal experience of Versailles. Expect all your guide’s attention from the front passenger seat as a chauffeur takes you on a short, safe drive to the palace in the comforts of a Mercedes vehicle.

At the Palace of Versailles, you’ll skip the queues and go straight in, where your guide recreates the lives of those who once lived there as you pass through Louis XV’s Council Chamber, Louis XIV’s Bedchamber, the Bull’s Eye Antechamber, and the famous Hall of Mirrors, among others rooms. On this tour, enjoy complimentary macarons, a favorite treat of Marie Antoinette.

Your first stop is inside the Royal Chapel, completed in 1710 at the end of Louis XIV’s reign. Here your guide will divulge the traditions, music, and ceremonies that took place inside the chapel. Inside, you will also receive a lesson on the Absolute Monarchy: the belief that the King was elected by God. Pay attention to the Gothic-inspired features, as well as the more traditional architectural style of European palatine chapels.

Highlights include the vaulted ceilings, an organ designed by Clicquot, and stained glass.

    Annalise was amazing. The best way to see Versailles is this private tour We travelled with our 8 year old, and the day was perfect. Annalise is a wealth of knowledge, and talked about everything in a way that our daughter was as engaged as we were. Next time we are in Paris, we are going with this company again and would request Annalise

    I was extremely impressed with the quality of this tour and its operators. Our guide was not only very kind and highly knowledgeable, she was also accommodating of our changing needs throughout the tour, putting herself at our disposal and ensuring our comfort. I am very, very glad that we booked our half-day visit with ParistoVersailles -- this experience was most definitely well worth the time and money. 13/10.
