Versailles Palace and Gardens Guided Tour with Entry Ticket

Versailles rewards a guide more than most palaces: the State Apartments can overwhelm without context, and the gate queue can eat an hour of your day. No need to figure out the trains: meet your licensed guide-conférencier in central Paris at the RER C station Pont de l'Alma and ride to Versailles together, with round-trip train tickets included. Your guide then takes a small group (up to 15, or 6 max on the semi-private option) straight through reserved entry to the King's Bedroom, the Royal Chapel and the Hall of Mirrors, with the palace's history explained room by room: Louis XIV and the court, Marie-Antoinette, and the fall of the monarchy. Your ticket stays valid all day, so you can explore the gardens on your own after the tour.
