The guided tour of the palace includes the State Apartments of the King and Queen, Royal Chapel and Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery which boasts 357 mirrors, french bay windows and crystal chandeliers.

Great Tour
Rachel_H, Dec 2024
This tour was a great comprehensive way to see Versailles, especially for your first time visit. You get to see all of the major rooms and go to the gardens after the tour. Julie was great! She was friendly, personable and made learning history fun.

Terrible guide
Penelope_T, Dec 2024
We had a terrible tour guide. Heavy accent. Hard to understand. Meaningless dialogue. Worst guide we have had on Viator.

A great balance of you do not have a lot of time.
Michael_D, Dec 2024
A chose a short tour focusing on a small part of the palace. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, but more importantly provided the facts in an enjoyable storytelling manner putting you back in history. The crowds are difficult but we were able to group for discussion at all points along the tour. Suggest strongly to use small groups. Make sure you add on the garden ticket.
