Program details

Spend a day surrounded by the most splendid luxury French history has bequeathed: the priceless treasure of the Palace of Versailles. With this full day tour, you have an unparalleled opportunity to explore every last corner of this magnificent sprawling construction. Most definitely, an experience you will not be soon to forget.

What better way can there be for discovering the Palace of Versailles that doing it at your own pace? This is the ideal alternative to having to stop to hear the explanations of parts of the palace you are not interested in. Take the tour’s reigns into your own hands and explore the palace on your own with an audioguide commentary. This way you can wander the hallways free as a bird and hear the interesting narratives behind whichever corner of Versailles interests you most.

The Palace of Versailles is filled with awe-inspiring rooms, crammed with what at the time was – and, dare we say even now is –the height of luxury. Meander through the dazzling Hall of Mirrors and lose yourself in the ample spaces of the Kind and Queen’s Apartments.

Once you have explored the building to your heart’s content, you can spend the rest of the day strolling around the castle or along the immense gardens of Versailles. Another equally tantalising option is to pop down to investigate the city. Be your own tour architect and make your day your own.
