Overview
This tour combines the highly sought after Chateau de Versailles and the beautiful Royal Gardens, highlighted by the unique fountains, groves, and manicured shrubbery that have made them a worldwide sensation for centuries. The gardens of Versailles have been held up as the standard of French gardening for ages, and you will see why. Stand at the grande perspective and take in the entirety of the grounds, including the Grand Canal and the 2,000 acres of forestland. Mozy through the groves with your guide leading the way and learn about why King Louis XIV designed them each in their particular way before heading into the Chateau to discover the interior at your leisure.

Know before you go
This tour involves quite a lot of walking. Please wear comfortable shoes.
This tour does not include a lunch stop. You will enter the chateau around mid-day. Guests usually spend around an hour inside, meaning your lunch break will possibly be quite late. Your guide will be happy to recommend places to eat after your tour.
We highly recommend using public transportation to get to the meeting point as car traffic is quite dense in this area.
Any guest who appears close to 18 years old may be asked for ID by the Chateau to access the child rate. All guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
