Versailles and Gardens Tour From Paris: Small-Group or Private
Make your way to the meeting point near the Eiffel Tower at your chosen departure time. Travel to the Palace of Versailles in a comfortable tour vehicle, then embark on a tour with your guide and a group of 16 people or fewer (or just with your guide, if you've selected the private option). Walk through the palace and learn its history, including the fact that it was home to three of France’s most illustrious kings for over 100 years. Follow your guide through the Royal Chapel, the State Apartments, the famous Hall of Mirrors, and more. Following your interior tour, spend some free time in the gardens, a 2,000-acre (809-hectare) park filled with fountains, statues, and classic formal garden landscaping. After half a day of exploring, return to your original departure point for drop-off.
