The tour has only 20 people. It was very quiet and informative in a private area on the palace. The guide was very happy to answer questions and knew a lot about the tour we were on. After the tour was over we went into the public viewing areas and these were full of people which made it difficult to see anything. We did get to the hall of mirrors, and that was a 'must see' part of the palace. I highly recommend the tour.

There was a delay of .5hours with our guide. Guide was excellent but they should carry flags. Many times we could hear his voice but had no idea where he was located, sometimes in another room! Visitors should be aware that you must know what guide service Headout utilizes.. My ticket and payment was not enough for sign in. Our guide service was Visit Paris. This was very confusing and we felt that we may not be able to do the tour.

I traveled solo to Versailles only to find the parlance was sold out. I did a google search & found HeadOut. I was able to purchase a ticket for later in the afternoon. It worked out perfectly! I was able to tour the gardens, explore the quaint city & have a late lunch before meeting Abed at the stature of Louis XIV at the specified time. He was very friendly, knowledgeable & provided a wonderful snapshot of life in the palace-highly recommend!

Caroline the guide was excellent! Not only explaining the experience, but also guiding the whole group, which is not easy! Particularly she helped me to leave in security a gift that I had been given, a bottle of cognac that I could not enter. She was a total sweetheart and so much wisdom! I am looking forward to coming back! I will do it and I will recommend you to all my friends.

Loved our guide Not sure about Headout : would like to find an agency that provides a reminder. We booked so far in advance. Not their fault but we missed our Notre Dame/Citi/seine tour and Orsay tour because we were only slightly late not through our fault and they would not consider a refund or voucher for future tour.

We purchased garden access and the guide said we could self tour the gardens after the guided tour, but forgot to give us the tickets so we could not get in and then had to purchase tickets.

Everything went really well with the tickets from Headout. We had booked the transfer from Paris to our destination as well as entry to Versailles Palace and the gardens. We were greeted and briefed in a friendly manner at the meeting point. A bus took us to the Palace of Versailles on time. From then on, we were able to explore the palace and gardens on our own. It was possible to take a transfer back to Paris, but we didn't use it as we stayed there for a long time. A wonderful day.

It was my 2nd visit of Versailles. Entrance was really well organized, even there were so many people ( Easter weekend ) , we came into the palace earlier our time. You can take audioguide , 5€. We spent around 3 hours inside and then walked in the garden . If it would be no rain I guess could walk some hours or take golfcar (40€/h) .

Everything was fine with the ticket and the service, they even called to make sure I didn't have any questions. I received the ticket again via WhatsApp the day before, so everything was really on the safe side. The castle itself is overrated for me, there are more beautiful places in Paris and the surrounding area. The garden is beautiful and really worth seeing and lovingly designed.

Guided Tour of the King's Private Apartments with Palace of Versailles Skip-the-Line Tickets

Elevate your estate visit with exclusive access to the private chambers of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

  • Everything you get: Led by a multilingual expert guide, step inside the otherwise restricted King's Private Apartments, an intimate space featuring a suite of rooms belonging to the last two kings of Versailles. Depending on the tour day, you can either visit the Royal Chapel or the Royal Opera (decided by your guide), each a grand construction from the early 18th century.

  • Post the tour, enjoy a self-guided visit to the palace.

  • Why choose this: Most tours don't include access to the King's Private Apartments—this one does. Step beyond the grand halls for a rare look at royal life behind closed doors.

The tour itself was fine. However, the google maps reference in the emali took us to the wrong location on the other side of the building. Once we saw the image for the meeting point in the email and relocated, there was no reference to the fact that we could meet inside the building. Eight of the visitors were waiting outside and then were quite abruptly dealt with when one of us went inside and relised the error.

Our guide was super interesting and pleasant. A real historian. Pleasant, approachable person. However, please understand that if you take a ticket at 1:30 pm, you can't go back before that time to visit the gardens or anything else... Our only downside was that we couldn't visit the opera house because of a concert scheduled for the evening. In short, the information was of a high quality, with the minor disappointment that the tour was not complete. If you don't have a full day at Versailles, take a guided tour to avoid the crowds.

The guided tour of the private apartments was very good and our guide, Tatiana, very interesting and experienced. Then, the experience was less satisfying; far too many people in the ceremonial rooms. We passed through without really seeing the rooms, following the tide of people. Then we were refused access to the Gardens, on the pretext that our ticket didn't include it. visit. However, in the title of the reservation, and the price paid, it was clearly written: with full access to the Palais and the Gardens. Disappointment, incomprehension and injustice, since that's what we had booked...

Our guide put her heart and soul into the tour. She used the 90 minutes as effectively as possible to show our group as much as possible. I particularly liked the fact that the children who were there were motivated to follow the tour with interest by asking lots of questions! Thank you very much for this wonderful and interesting time!

The tour we booked was great. A competent tour with a very nice guide. We were glad to have been part of a small group and to have had time to enjoy ourselves away from the general hustle and bustle. After the tour was over, we were able to explore the rest on our own. We were pushed through the rest of the rooms like cattle. That was not nice. But that's not the guide's fault. There are just too many inconsiderate visitors.

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

I wish there had been more signs for the Petit Trianon. I couldn't find the grotto or the Queen's Village. What's more, it was stiflingly hot. And I was amazed to find that there were no working fountains at Versailles. And when I bought my ticket for the gardens, no one warned me that the fountains wouldn't be working.

The stuff was Super 🤩 The way all the thing smell old was so cute. I didn't like one thing, exit from the gardens of trianon is so confusing, need to walk too much, need to make it simplier, bcs tourists need full energy to explore whole Versailles.

The Trianon and the gardens were truly beautiful. We paid extra for audioguides as we had not downloaded the app. We did have to pay for the main Versailles gardens to access and walk through from the main entrance, however it would have been easier to walk around the estate and see a little more of the 'town' area of Versailles, which we did on our way back.

The trip was good, but we were disappointed that there was no German or French language on offer. On the website it says multilingual. At least a French or German audio guide should be available from the English-speaking tour guide.

The palace was great. Would have liked more time inside. The gardens were beautiful but nothing in bloom and chilly day, so just sat around till time to leave after a little walk. No commentary on or back from palace. Headphone interference constantly. Wouldn't recommend this one tour but be sure to go.

Hello the experience itself was good but the return to Paris was a bit mess There were absolutely no people managing buses, no crew on the parking (5:50 pm ) and we had to check every bus ourselves asking drivers to figure out which one can take us back.

Versailles is a lovely place, but we didn't skip the lines, our "guide" took us quickly through the chateau but then discarded us to find our way to the hameau de la reine and the petit trianon which we NEVER found! Very disappointing trip.

I did not have an experience at all! I apparently went to the wrong meeting place and missed the bus!!! I found 3 potential meeting places on my ticket info. I tried to call but number was busy. Tried to send a message but would not accept. So I had to book with another company the next day. I will not recommend Headout but will tell people to book directly with the provider, NOT a broker! Do you book with 3 providers thus 3 different meeting places??? Just out the money. Excellent experience with Paris City Vision who book and provide the tour with 1 meeting place.

The tour has only 20 people. It was very quiet and informative in a private area on the palace. The guide was very happy to answer questions and knew a lot about the tour we were on. After the tour was over we went into the public viewing areas and these were full of people which made it difficult to see anything. We did get to the hall of mirrors, and that was a 'must see' part of the palace. I highly recommend the tour.

There was a delay of .5hours with our guide. Guide was excellent but they should carry flags. Many times we could hear his voice but had no idea where he was located, sometimes in another room! Visitors should be aware that you must know what guide service Headout utilizes.. My ticket and payment was not enough for sign in. Our guide service was Visit Paris. This was very confusing and we felt that we may not be able to do the tour.

I traveled solo to Versailles only to find the parlance was sold out. I did a google search & found HeadOut. I was able to purchase a ticket for later in the afternoon. It worked out perfectly! I was able to tour the gardens, explore the quaint city & have a late lunch before meeting Abed at the stature of Louis XIV at the specified time. He was very friendly, knowledgeable & provided a wonderful snapshot of life in the palace-highly recommend!

Reliving the moments of history. I did not like the lack of information. Going in at 3:30 pm they could have communicated that the trianon closed at 6:45 pm at least we would have gone to the trianon first and then to the gardens.

Top things to do in Paris

The Gardens at Palace of Versailles

The Gardens of Versailles, sprawling across 250 acres, are a testament to French formal gardening and a must-see for any visitor to the Palace of Versailles. Designed by the landscape architect André Le Nôtre, these meticulously planned gardens blend nature with art, creating a breathtaking visual experience.

André Le Nôtre's architectural vision

Le Nôtre, appointed by King Louis XIV, envisioned the gardens as an extension of the palace itself. He used a symmetrical layout with central axes radiating outwards, emphasizing perspective and grandeur. The gardens were designed to be viewed from the palace windows, offering a sense of order and control over nature.

The King's Garden (Jardin du Roi)

This private garden, located near the Orangery, was designed specifically for King Louis XIV's enjoyment. Enclosed by walls and featuring a more intimate layout, it offered the king a tranquil escape from the grandeur of the main gardens. Here, he could relax, tend to his own plants, and enjoy a more personal connection with nature.

The Water Theater (Théâtre d'Eau)

This unique feature, located at the western end of the main garden, is a marvel of engineering and artistry. Composed of cascading pools, fountains, and sculptures that come alive with water displays synchronized to music, the Water Theater offers a captivating spectacle and a fitting finale to a walk through the gardens.

The Orangery

This impressive building, located on the south side of the palace, served as a winter home for the palace's orange trees. The Orangery's grand architecture, with its high ceilings and large windows, provided the ideal environment for these delicate trees to flourish during the colder months. Today, the Orangery houses exhibitions and cultural events.

Explore the fountains at Palace of Versailles

The Four Seasons fountains

The monumental Four Fountains, dedicated to the seasons, mark the entrance to the Royal Way. The Spring and Summer Fountains grace the northern side of the alleys, while Autumn and Winter adorn the south.

Fountains of the Fight of the Animals

The fountain demonstrates a fight between animals. A lion is shown defeating a wolf and wild boar, a tiger defeating a bear and a bloodhound bringing down a stag. Water jets sprout out of the animal's mouths, with the jet of the victorious animal falling into the upper basin and the jet of the victim falls into the lower basin.

Dragon fountain

A majestic piece of art, the Dragon Fountain represents an episode from the legend of Apollo, where young Apollo shot and killed a serpent Python with an arrow.  This is the tallest fountain in the Gardens of Versailles, with the main water jet reaching a height of 27 meters.

Neptune fountain

Made between 1679 and 1682, the construction of the Neptune Fountain was overseen by André le Nôtre and officially opened by Louis XV.  Admired for its size, the fountain is also an extraordinary hydraulic system featuring 99 jets.

Latona's fountain

Illustrating the story of Apollo's mother Latona, the fountain depicts her protecting her children from the insults of peasants and pleading with the gods to avenge her. The gods oblige and turn the peasants into frogs and lizards. The fountain features figures of peasants in mid-transformation with 24 frogs surrounding the fountain.

Apollo's fountain

Built between 1668 and 1670, the fountain is based on the legend of Apollo, the sun god. Designed by Charles Le Brun, It features Apollo rising from the sea on a four-horse chariot, surrounded by tritons and leaping dolphins.
