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.

Excellent guide, average organizing. We met în Paris at 8.45, boarded the train only 1/2 later, and waited în front of the castle for our guide for another 15 min. Once inside, it was terribly crowded, with three to for groups ( 60-80 people) în one room at the same time. Luckily, the guide, Jonny, was very good and knowledgeable.
