Palace of Versailles and Guided Gardens Timed Entry Tour

Make your own way to Versailles and meet your guide at the designated starting point outside the train station. A short walk later, arrive at the gilded gates of the Palace of Versailles. The gardens and forests of Versailles span 1,976 acres (800 hectares) and are crisscrossed by a network of picturesque trails and tree-lined paths. Follow your guide on a walking tour of the grounds, and learn about the palace’s history, the royal family, including Marie Antoinette, and the French Revolution. If you’re here during the summer, make sure to check out the spectacular Versailles fountain display or musical gardens show that takes place on select days (included with your tour). See below for more details. Next, make your way to the Palace of Versailles, where the guide bids you farewell and gives you your timed-entry ticket. See the King's State Apartments and Chapel, and walk through the unforgettable Hall of Mirrors, where the treaty ending WWI was signed. Take as much as you’d like to discover the sprawling palace. When you’re ready to leave Versailles, make your own way back to Paris or your next destination.
