During the reign of Louis XIV - the Sun King - Versailles was the place to be and to be seen. Nowadays visitors from all over the world still come to Versailles to marvel at the splendours of this incredible palace. Our skip the line access allows you to bypass the long lines that form each day, and our friendly local guides will steer you expertly through the crowds, bringing the famous figures who once inhabited this palace back to life. Learn how the Kings and Queens lived out their lavish lives in public, how they kept the gossiping courtiers under their thumb, and made Versailles the artistic center of Europe. Discover a typical day in the life of Marie Antoinette; you’ll quickly understand why she hated the palace so much! Her opulent lifestyle here would lead to her tragic demise under the French Revolution.

We have a fantastic experience! Our tour guides were wonderful! Berrick was very helpful with navigation tips and places to visit after the tour. At Versailles, we had Ivan as pur tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, gave clear directions, and did a great job making sure our group stayed together at all times. Thank you for a great experience!

Manos and Marie were amazing guides! From start to finish, the tour was very efficient and informative. We were running late to the initial meeting point because we took the wrong train. The tour was very accommodating and helped us to meet up with the group. All in all a great day!
