Versailles, Gardens & Hamlet Tour: Skip-the-Line, Small Group

6 hours and 30 minutes

Moderate

This small-group tour (max 14 people) provides a laid-back 6-7 hour Versailles visit with Alistair, a skilled native English-speaking guide. Begin at 9:30 AM near the Palace with a garden tour, hearing tales of Louis XIV, the Sun King who built Versailles, and see his musical fountains (weekends, April 1–Oct 31). Stroll 1.5 miles downhill, visit main sights, pause at a café, and take a short train ride to Marie-Antoinette’s Hamlet to learn about her life and the French Revolution. Enjoy lunch at Angelina, then return by train with skip-the-line Palace tickets for self-guided exploration. Great for families and couples!
