Versailles Guided, Four Options and Seven Pickup Points
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
ParisOne product sold four ways, which is useful if the standard coach tour never quite fits your morning. You can meet the guide at the palace with no transport at all, take a pickup from a central Paris meeting point, or be collected from a hotel in the western part of the city. The pickup points are scattered across Paris, from Quai Saint-Michel to Boulevard Haussmann. The tour is run in English only. How long it lasts depends on what you book: roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours for the half-day options, 4 hours for the full day. The guided part inside covers the King's State Apartment and the Hall of Mirrors, and on the Standard, Small Group and Semi-Private options there is a further 30 minutes guided in the gardens. Essential groups see the gardens on their own. Afterwards you have about 2 hours to yourself on a half day, or 4 on a full day. Full-day clients also get the Grand and Petit Trianon, explored independently. One figure worth knowing before booking: the group runs from 11 to 28 travellers, depending on the option. If a small group matters to you, the upgrade is the one to take.
