The time on your voucher is the meeting time at our shop (the tour departs a few minutes later). In case of late arrival for check-in, we cannot guarantee access to the palace. Fees will apply if you wish to reschedule for a later tour.

The scheduled access time can be delayed on peak days due to various safety controls established by the Versailles Palace.

The tickets for the Musical Show or Fountain Show are included. You will be able to watch the shows during the tour and stay in the gardens after your half-day guided tour has finished.

Baby strollers may be refused at the entrance of the palace.

  • Do NOT Get Your Tour With Sergio

    Our tour guide was Sergio from GetYourGuide. This guide was extremely rude and needs to work on his social skills. We were told that we were holding up the group (because I needed to do a diaper change and I clearly told him we'd catch up to the rest of the group), that we were not listening to him, that we didn't want to be there -- just a bunch of negativity from this tour guide. At one point, he didn't even want to speak his native language, spanish with one of our family members.

  • Great tour

    Sarah was excellent. Be sure to get the garden tour as well. Get a tour guide, because otherwise, you won’t really know what you are looking at.

    We are usually not the “guided tour” kind of people but we were so happy we chose it. Gabriella our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the tour. Kept the group moving at the right pace and didn’t even miss a beat when I interrupted with questions. Highly recommended. Thank you for a fantastic day at Versailles. We left so much more informed than had we wondered alone.
