For a truly special experience, treat yourself to a tour that offers VIP palace entry and private access to the Royal Quarters as your tour guide brings centuries of rich French history to life.
Independent Tours with Transport from Paris
Travelers who would prefer to explore the Palace of Versailles at their own pace but don't want to have to figure out transportation can book an independent tour from Paris. Skip the hassle and take advantage of included transport from the city before enjoying free time at Versailles.
