VIP VERSAILLES DAY TRIP - King's Apartment Private Access, Gardens & Petit Trianon
- Duration: 9 Hours (approx.)
A BIT OF HISTORY: Are you ready for a fabulous day trip to Versailles? Enjoy our private tour of Versailles by discovering centuries of French history and luxury. Your local expert guide will give you their best anecdotes and comments on the most iconic royal domain in France and its notorious residents such as the Sun King or Queen Marie-Antoinette. Did you know that Versailles was at first a simple hunting residence for kings before Louis XIV turned it into the biggest palace of Modern Europe?
ABOUT YOUR TOUR : We are one of the few agencies accredited by the Royal Domain to arrange private tours of some areas of the Palace closed to the general public. Your private expert guide will take you to the private areas of the Palace, where the Kings and Queens used to live and where the crowds were not allowed, even in the 18th century ! This is an amazing opportunity to treat yourself on a fabulous day and explore more than 12 different rooms where you'll be completely alone. Depending on the day of your visit, you will also have access to the Royal Chappell or the Royal Opera.
We will take care of all the logistics : skip-the-line tickets to the palace of Versailles with the Hall of Mirrors, but also to the Queen's Private Estates, Petit Trianon, Hamlet and the Fountains Garden, as well as private transfers from/to Paris with deluxe chauffeured vehicle. Not only you will save tons of time, but you will also get to discover this masterpiece of French history from a local perspective. The Sun King is waiting for your visit !
MEETING PLACE: Meet your private local guide and your chauffeur at your hotel address in central Paris. Please note that you cannot leave your personal belongings in the vehicle while you are visiting Versailles.
LOCAL INSIGHT : Versailles is so big that we recommend spending a full day there, and take the time to go off-the-beaten-path by visiting Queen Marie-Antoinette's Private Estates : the Petit Trianon Palace and her famous hamlet, filled with farm animals !
