About guide

Exploring Versailles alone can be a daunting experience, but our expert art history guides are on hand to make your visit a breeze – to introduce you to some of the most highly acclaimed works of art in the world, to take you deep into their history, but also to take you away from the tourist track. Our Versailles tours are lead solely by accredited guides with an abundance of knowledge, who give you the chance to explore some of the most breathtaking sights in the world with a private, personable and approachable guide.

You haven’t seen glitz and glamor until you’ve seen it French monarch style—get ready to witness an elegant explosion of gold, crystal, and luxury at every turn. During this private 5 hour exploration of the world’s most lavish residence, you’ll breeze past the infernal ticket lines to relive the glory (and the delicious scandal) of royal life.

Your guide is ready to treat you like a true VIP by putting you in the heart of the real Versailles and uncover all its deepest secrets. A picturesque stroll through the king’s royal gardens will be the icing on the cake!

The itinerary

Your private guide will meet you at your residence or in Central Paris, and after a short train ride, you’ll arrive in front of the palace’s beautiful gates. Long lines usually snake around the chateau but your group will get to glide right in.

This tour of Versailles is designed so that you travel through all of the rooms that the king himself would’ve passed through as he enacted the rituals and ceremonies that made up the royal routine. You’ll follow in the footsteps of Louis XVI and his young wife Marie Antoinette in the King and Queen’s Apartments, the Salons of Hercules, Mars and Venus, the Hall of Mirrors, the Gallery of Battles and plenty more. And after a dazzling tour of the chateau, what better way to unwind than with a stroll through the exquisite gardens?

Meeting point & walking distance

Meeting point: At your residence

Am I required to return to Paris with the guide after the tour?

Your guide will be prepared to accompany any members back to Paris if they wish. However if you prefer to stay, your guide can bid farewell at Versailles (he or she will give you the return train tickets) and you can explore further to your heart’s content!

Will we visit any portions of Marie Antoinette’s private domain?

Because of time constraints and the expansiveness of the property, we will not have time to tour these sections of Versailles. If you wish to extend your tour to include the Trianon buildings and/or Queen’s Hamlet, please contact our team to organize a Full Day Tour of Versailles.

Can I bring stroller or backpack?

Large backpacks and luggage are not permitted inside Versailles Chateau and will need to be left at your hotel. Strollers are not allowed inside the Versailles Chateau, you will therefore need to bring a material baby carrier (please note that due to security restrictions, baby carriers with metalic parts are also not allowed).

Experience the Majesty of Versailles

After you've arrived in Versailles with your guide, skip the line to enter the palace without the usual long wait. Your expert guide will begin to show you all of the most fascinating parts of this historic royal residence at a pace that suits you. A stunning work to behold from the inside and out, the Versailles Palace encompasses over 2,000 rooms, with about as many windows looking out at the immense gardens. The opulent interior holds countless works of art and precious artifacts, so it's easy to see why over seven million people visit the palace each year.

Formerly the hunting château of King Louis XIII, the stunning Versailles Palace and Gardens were built in the 17th century, and UNESCO have declared this place a World Heritage site. The elaborately decorated and expansive palace became the seat of French power during the reign of King Louis XIV. You'll hear stories of the lavish lifestyles and scandals that became a hallmark of the kings and queens who once called this place home.

Best of all, with your own private guide, the tour is more flexible. Want to spend a bit more time somewhere, or see something that's not on the usual tourist route? All you have to do is ask!

The Hall of Mirrors and Grand Apartments

Your guide will ensure you visit the areas that simply cannot be missed! Measuring almost 70 yards long and adorned with 357 mirrors, the Hall of Mirrors is the most famous room in the château. The mirrors in this room were designed to reflect light and protect the walls from smoke, and only a few candles were required in order to reflect candlelight throughout the entire room.

The Treaty of Versailles, which marked the end of World War I, was signed in the Hall of Mirrors on June 28th, 1919. With thousands of rooms to explore, navigating the Palace of Versailles on your own is a challenge. A guided tour is the best way to cover the must-see highlights of the Palace of Versailles, including the King's State Apartments and the apartments of Louis XV's daughters.  

The Gardens of Versailles and Trianon Estate

After touring the palace, you’ll experience the magnificent Gardens of Versailles as your guide explains the fascinating history of the most famous gardens in the world. You'll receive an introduction to the gardens from your guide, and then it's time to explore on your own! You can use your included return ticket to Paris whenever you're ready.

Inspiring other gardens all over the world, the meticulously manicured Gardens of Versailles occupy a total area of almost 2,000 acres with over 400 sculptures and 1,400 fountains. Your ticket also includes access to see Marie-Antoinette's Trianon Estate, so feel free to wander down to these magnificent buildings that are basically palaces themselves.

Private tour of Versailles

We had had our tour guide, Carolina, for our private full day tour of Paris yesterday and we were thrilled to have Carolina as our guide for Versailles today! She was informative and quick to answer any questions and enquiries. Although pricier, we’re grateful that we did private tours of Paris and Versailles as the 4 of us were able to truly interact with our guide. Carolina was fantastic and it was wonderful to have her taking care of all of the ticketing for the metro and venues for us! She had information to share with us even on the metro ride to Versailles! Today was great! Anthony and group

Tour in a wheelchair

Our guide Veronica was excellent. It was a private tour because my wife was in a wheelchair. My only complaint about Tour Guy management is that I discussed over the phone with your staff in the U.S. that she would be in a wheelchair, and the guides did not expect that. On all three of our tours. You failed to communicate.

Things to see on this Unmissable Paris to Versailles Private Tours

Let’s take a peek at the primary rooms we’ll be visiting during this Versailles private tour:

  • The main suppers, balls, and celebrations were held in the Hercules drawing-room.
  • When the gatherings became too intense, the Salon of Abundance was used to acquire some refreshments.
  • The Venus room, where the king’s guests were served food and drink from buffet tables.
  • The Diana room: Louis and his soldiers enjoyed playing billiards in this area while ladies sat about them.
  • Louis’ Swiss bodyguards were housed in the Mars Room, also known as the Guard Room.
  • Bedtime, wake-up… were all public rituals in the Mercury room, which may have served as Louis’ official (but not actual) bedroom.
  • The Apollo Salon, the magnificent throne hall, is utilized for receptions and entertainment. Everything here reminds us that Louis was not just any king, but the Sun King.
  • Recently, the Queen’s Apartments were restored. We advise you to visit (according to the opening of the Chateau).
  • Royal children were born in the Queen’s Bedchamber in front of the court.
  • The Salon of the Nobles had discussions about politics, literature, fashion, and philosophy.
  • The Queen’s Antechamber is sometimes referred to as the Grand Couvert. In this salon, the royal family dined in front of servants and aristocracy.
  • The Queen’s guard chamber is infamous for being the location where Marie Antoinette was arrested by a mob of revolutionaries at daybreak on October 6, 1789, and brought to Paris.
  • The Salon des Nobles was the Queen’s Apartments’ second antechamber.
  • The coronation room was once the château’s third chapel, but in 1682 it was converted into a guards’ room for both the King and Queen.
  • The War Room (when open) and the famed Hall of Mirrors, which used to hold balls and celebrations organized by the King for the aristocracy, will be the next stops on your private tour to Versailles. The Hall of Mirrors is a spectacular space with an unusual size, abundant light, and 357 mirrors.

The richness of this space, together with your guide’s words, will allow you to envision balls and celebrations that used to be held to welcome French royalty.

Your Experience in 2024

The majestic Royal Palatine Chapel will be the first stop on your private tour to Versailles . This will be an opportunity to learn more about the Royal Family’s close ties with the Catholic Church, as well as a better understanding of the Royal Absolute Power, which is the idea that the King was chosen by God to administer God’s justice to the people.

From there, your own guide will take you on a tour of the King’s State Apartments, bringing history to life. You’ll walk through the lavish salons, following in the footsteps of the Queen, the King, and their courtiers who frequented Versailles on a regular basis, while your own guide explains the history of the kings’ parties conducted here to delight the court.

Your guide will tell you about everything from the gaming tables to the theatre, comedies, operas, concerts, and secret performances at balls and masquerades, where courtiers would dazzle the court with their dancing talents (King Louis was a great connoisseur).

Your experienced guide will educate you on the complexities of The Etiquette, the regulations that govern every aspect of the Royal Family’s and the entire court’s lives from sunrise to dusk.

As you walk through Louis XV’s Council Chamber, Louis XIV’s Bedchamber, and the Bull’s Eye Antechamber before arriving in the regal elegance of the Queen’s Apartments, your guide will recreate the glories of court life through subtle symbols and symbolic imagery.

The exquisite grounds of the Château de Versailles are the next step and the following wonders to appreciate:

  • The pleasure gardens are large, with 70 hectares, and it’s easy to get lost in the maze of trails and trees.
  • Your knowledgeable guide will lead you on a journey through the lush alleyways, ensuring that you don’t miss any of the garden’s hidden gems.
  • During your visit, you’ll also view the Orangerie, which has an astonishing 2000 orange trees, as well as the French and English gardens.
  • All the guides on the private tour to Versailles are passionate about their work and are always happy to share their knowledge about Versailles and the Royal Family with you, including all of the city’s best-kept secrets.

Important Information 2024

During the private tour of Versailles, the Palace is not fully private. There will be other guests, and the palace may be packed at times. Usually, there’s no control over the Palace’s visitor flow during this trip. During your visit, the rest of the Palace will remain open to the public. After the opening hours, the palace can be totally privatized by request. As you might expect, this is a one-of-a-kind service that is only offered on request and in advance a few times a year.

If you purchase a private tour to Versailles with transportation, your guide will meet you in Paris. If you want to meet your tour guide outside of Paris, please contact them before making a reservation to secure the best rate.

General information for the private tour to Versailles

Recommendations for Visiting Versailles

We recommend comfortable shoes (sneakers, for example) and comfortable attire because you will be walking and on your feet for several hours. A bottle of water, sunscreen, and hats are recommended for the greatest experience throughout the summer months. Warm clothing and sturdy shoes (in case it’s slick) are recommended during the winter months to keep you comfortable in the Gardens.

Safety Recommendations when Visiting Versailles

In addition to the increased security to gain access to the Palace, the control may take longer than usual. People can circumvent the huge lines by purchasing skip-the-line tickets. However, especially during peak season, you may have to wait a while for the check.

Tuesdays and weekends are the busiest days at the Palace. The Palace is usually less crowded in the afternoons (though this cannot be guaranteed). If you want to visit the Fountain Shows or the Musical Gardens, check the schedules below.

If you book the private tour to Versailles on the following dates, you will receive a discount:

  • Musical Fountain Shows (musical fountains) are accessible every Saturday and Sunday from March to October, and every Tuesday from the end of May to the end of June.
  • From March to October, Musical Gardens (no water exhibits) are open every Tuesday and Friday.

Versailles is not a good place for parents with babies and very young children (less than 5 years old) during the high season, due to enormous crowds and possible delays. It may be difficult for both the parents and the children.

Except on Mondays, this excursion is available every day. (The Palace is currently closed.) Only professional travel firms have direct access to the Palace’s limited number of tickets. These are really popular and sell out rapidly. If at all feasible, book 6 weeks in advance during the high season (April-August). Otherwise, try to schedule a trip in the afternoon when the Palace is less crowded. Please provide us with alternate days and times if possible.

The Full Day trips are the only ones that include a lunch stop (meals are not included in the tour price).

Explore the golden palace and exquisite gardens of the Sun King, Louis XIV with an expert, English-speaking guide on this semi-private tour of Versailles with no more than six guests.

You will meet your expert, English-speaking guide at the heroic equestrian statue of King Louis XIV – the Sun King himself – situated in the forecourt of the palace in front of the gleaming golden gates. Skip the line and enjoy priority access through security, and begin your expertly guided walking tour of the legendary Palace and Gardens of Versailles.

You’ll hear about the amazing 30-year restoration project of Versailles by Gerald Ven Der Kamp as you wander through the maze of magical, mythical fountains that adorn the extensive gardens. After a tour of the formal gardens, your guide will lead you into the Versailles Palace.

Versailles was once the humble countryside hunting lodge of King Louis XIII, but in the 17th century, King Louis XIV decided to transform it into the most lavish palace Europe had ever seen. Not happy in Paris, he moved the whole French court and government there in 1682. As you wander through the King’s Apartments and the famous Hall of Mirrors with its dazzling chandeliers, you’ll hear how Louis called himself the Sun King and would perform the ballet dressed up as the sun god Apollo – with other members of the aristocracy made to dress up as the planets and orbit him as he pirouetted his way around the place! Yes, you will step back through the veils of time into a world of painted splendor, into a world inhabited by the fashionable French elite, a world of high heels, powdered cheeks, and patches, of big wigs and bigger skirts, of priceless art, sumptuous interiors, hunting parties, and masked balls – a bygone world of aristocratic privilege, that was all to come tumbling down in less than 100 years.

You’ll hear about King Louis’ wars – both abroad and within his own family. You’ll hear about how he was kidnapped as a child, which possibly led to his lifelong paranoia over his safety, and why he created his fantasy world of Versailles – where he could control every movement of every courtier, and quash any assassination plots.

Learn about the less-than-hygienic living conditions in the palace, and hear many royal scandals of love affairs and duels, and gambling debts. Hear of ambitious cardinals and hotheaded princes. On your tour, you’ll see the sumptuous Chapel Royal, covered in gold leaf and frescoes where the ill-fated King Louis XVI married Queen Marie Antoinette, the beautiful and deeply unpopular Austrian princess. You’ll hear how the French Revolution brought about the brutal destruction of the French monarchy, aristocracy, and Church – indeed the entire social order. The many trappings of wealth like Versailles were razed to the ground.

At the end of your tour, your guide will salute you and leave you to enjoy the rest of the estate at your leisure.

This Tour Includes

  • Priority tickets to Versailles Palace and Gardens
  • Guided tour of Versailles Palace
  • Hall of Mirrors
  • Kings Apartments
  • Chapel Royal
