Stop atPalace of Versailles
HIGHLIGHTS • Benefit from the royal treatment with skip-the-line tickets • A guaranteed hassle-free experience to get the best of Versailles • A fun and interactive way to discover Versailles thanks to our kid-designed activity booklets • At your disposal, a Versailles expert whose best friend is... Louis XVI! You will meet your guide at the Champ de Mars RER metro station to board a train to Versailles. During the 45-min train ride, your kids will receive an activity booklet, giving them a taste of the Sun King’s Palace through questions and riddles. After a short walk through the city of Versailles, where you will spot an old-style fresh food market, you’ll arrive at the Palace and will enter without standing in line, thanks to our skip-the-line tickets. Along the Palace official lounges – or Great Apartment – you’ll see the dwellings where King and Court lived. The decorations are exceptional. Marble, gold, statues, painted ceilings: they all witnessed the colorful crowd of passing courtiers, waiting for the sovereign to beg for favors. The most magnificent places are certainly the Royal Chapel, because the King of was the Catholic Church protector, and the Hall of Mirrors, a testimony to the Sun King’s military glory. In Louis XIV’s bedchamber, your guide will amaze your children with details about the incredible ceremony the King subjected himself to. In the gardens, quick additional riddles will enthrall your children’s interest. They can caper at their ease on the Orangery Lawn and stand breathless upon discovering the endless viewpoints through the formal gardens. This 5-hour Versailles tour will end at Saint Lazare station, after a memorable moment spent in the most beautiful palace of the world – no less!

Great experience!

Sonia was absolutely fantastic. She was kind and very engaging. She was good at tailoring the tour based on our kids' interests. We had a really great time on the tour and learned a ton! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with kids. Without this tour, we would have been overwhelmed and the kids would probably have been bored and complained a lot!

Such a memorable experience!

Booking our tour was so easy and accommodating. By taking the tour with Doina I feel we recall a lot more of the magic of Versailles and this period in history. Doina’s knowledge of Versailles and French history meant our questions could be answered and the handy workbook for the kids meant they took home a special memento of their visit. Thanks to having a dedicated guide we have some very special family photos to remember the visit. We visited on a Sunday and the lines weren’t too bad but still very handy to be able to skip these on a hot day with little people.

Yaëlle was a wonderful guide
kathyjU4637GH, Dec 2024
Three generations of my family enjoyed a wonderful trip from Paris to Versailles under the guidance of Yaëlle from Meet the Locals for Families. Her knowledge of local history, combined with her love of sharing that history, made for a wonderful afternoon. She did not rush her tour, and customized the timeline to accommodate feedings, breaks for the kids, and coffee for Grampa. The tour started on the train, utilizing the time to educate the adults on the timelines for Versailles and to entertain the children with activity books. We are still talking about it 3 weeks later. I would highly recommend Yaëlle as she did a wonderful job.

Incredible experience in London and Paris
TW2ATL, Dec 2024
We have used Meet the locals several times over the last few years, including the Versailles Tour, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, and the Tower of London. This latest trip, we did the Tour of London with Manuella, and Versailles with Laurine. Both tours (And our guides) were amazing. Manuella and Laurine made the entire experience fun and educational for our girls (Who are 8 and 10) (And the parents!) - they were just incredible. Every single experience we have had with Tour by Locals has been phenomenal. They are absolutely the best! If you are traveling to London or Paris you absolutely need to book a tour with Meet the Locals!
