What To Expect
Palace of Versailles
Discover Versailles Palace, the Sun King's Estate which is among the most famous monuments from the French heritage and the finest and most complete example of 17th century architecture. Optimize your visit time with our skip the line ticket and avoid the long queue to access the interior of the palace ticket.
Jardins du Chateau de Versailles
You'll have free time to stroll through the magnificent French gardens designed by Le Nôtre: nature is tamed, the flowerbeds are geometric and the paths straight. The basins and terraces obey the laws of optical illusion, so the Grand Canal seems close at hand as you stand at the foot of the château.

5.00Convenient way to visit Versailles. They take care of the transportation and the skip-the-line tickets. We went during an off-peak so there weren't a lot of people in Versailles

3.00The palace itself is beautiful but is soo packed that you end up shuffling along from room to room. The gardens are spectacular and the musical fountains are well worth seeing
Versailles A Must See

4.00As I had opted for audioguides instead of a live one, I felt that we missed out on a lot of interesting information because of that. We were picked up by bus and dropped off at Versailles, got in and were distributed audiophones which took a little to figure out. Once we did that, it was OK, and did provide some information, but probably not nearly as much as a live guide would be able to do. The Palace itself is truly impressive, but with all the over the top opulence, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.

2.00Poorly organized on return pick up from Versailles. The agent told us to get off the bus before reaching the office in Paris , & left us in a hurry. Was supposed to have a drop off to the hotel, but that didn’t happen . The office not very helpful at all. I would not recommend this company to anybody.
Not worth the extra money

1.00Versailles is wonderful but the extra money that we were charged for this tour to be "skip the line and in air conditioned bus" was false. We waited in the hot sun for an hour for our "guide" to go in and get our skip the line tickets. The bus was hot and had no A/C. We complained about this upon return and they said there was nothing they could do.
Wonderful day in Versailles

5.00I booked the trip to Versailles with France Tourisme. We left by bus from their agency which is close to the Louvre. The bus was clean, comfortable and air conditioned. We could admire Paris and listen to the guide's comments. Arrived at Versailles, we have quick access to the castle thanks to the priority access ticket. When I saw the queue in front of the Chateau, I was very happy to have this cut-line ticket! Versailles is breathtaking! We visited the castle, the estate of Marie Antoinette and the gardens. We were lucky enough to come the day they had the fountains show. It was wonderful. I am delighted to have made this excursion. Everything was well organized. I did not have to worry about anything. Thank you France Tourism
