Step into the splendour of the most prestigious royal palace in Europe on this full-day guided tour of Versailles. Walk in the footsteps of kings and queens through the glittering Hall of Mirrors, explore the opulent State Apartments, and stroll the grand gardens where lavish parties once captivated the court of the Sun King.

In the afternoon, discover a more intimate side of Versailles with a visit to the private estate of Marie Antoinette. Explore the elegant Petit Trianon, her personal retreat hidden among manicured gardens. Finish your journey in her charming Normandy-style hamlet—complete with vineyard, farm, and vegetable gardens—created as a peaceful escape from court life.

With expert commentary and access to both the main palace and the Queen’s hidden domain, this immersive experience reveals the full story of Versailles, from royal glory to private retreat.
