Use a timed palace entry and spend the rest of the day exploring Versailles at your own pace. Your ticket covers the Palace, Hall of Mirrors, formal gardens, Grand and Petit Trianon, and Marie Antoinette’s Estate. In season, you can also see the Musical Gardens or Fountain Show. An audio guide may be available by QR code.

“Brilliant! This palace is jaw dropping! We bought tickets for a set time 9:30am, the line moves fast. The paintings, furniture and artwork is out of this world, just incredible! Highly recommend the golf buggy to see the gardens, it was so much fun and the gardens go on forever! My only complaint were the rude tourists! They push to get in front of you and step in front when taking pictures. I think they need more staff throughout the palace to monitor tourists and keep everyone moving at a steady pace. Took us over 4 hours to do palace & gardens. We were here December 2025.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,706 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $82

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Paris to Versailles for a guided visit of the State Apartments, Royal Chapel, and Hall of Mirrors. Audio headsets help you follow guides such as Mauro, Flor, or Laurent in crowded rooms. Add garden access for free time among the fountains, or choose the full-day Giverny option.

“The bus ride was not as long as advertised which was great, only about 30 minutes. The bus hostess gave us a informational overview of Paris and suggested several other trips we might like. Short and to the point, which was appreciated. The tour guide knew her history but went into way too much detail. Once you've seen one bedroom, they are all about the same. A brief explanation of the significance would have sufficed.”
