Overview

This full-day guided bus tour from Paris lasts about eight hours and includes round-trip transportation in an air-conditioned coach. A professional guide leads the group through the entire Versailles estate, starting with a morning visit to the Great Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors, and the Queen’s Bedroom inside the palace. The tour passes through Paris and its suburbs before reaching Versailles, which takes between 45 minutes and one hour depending on traffic. Before entering the palace, the group stops briefly to see the Statue of Louis XIV on horseback. Inside Versailles, the guide shows the Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors with its special mirror design that reflects light unusually, and the Royal Chapel, noted for its colorful marble floors, large sculptures, and paintings. After the palace tour, there is time to walk in the palace gardens, including some of the "Groves" during summer or optionally a horse-drawn carriage ride in winter. In the afternoon, the tour continues with a self-guided visit to the Petit and Grand Trianon mansions and the Queen’s Hamlet, where Marie Antoinette spent time from 1783. The entrance fees for the gardens, palace, and Trianons are included. Fountain shows in the gardens are featured during the summer months on specific days and are part of the tour when available, accompanied by music from Louis XIV’s era. The tour ends with a return to Paris, dropping participants off at the original departure point.
