Your tour begins in the center of Paris, where you'll meet your guide and small group of maximum 10 travelers. Board a train together for a short ride into the countryside—no need to worry about making your way to Versailles all by yourself. Once at Versailles, you'll skip the line and head right into the Palace. Alongside an expert guide, you’ll visit the King and Queen’s apartments and of course the iconic Hall of Mirrors. As you walk, your guide will bring the palace to life with stories of courtly intrigue and royal plots, while also giving you insight into the everyday lives of the people who lived here. Thanks to the small group size, you'll be able to ask your guide all your questions, and they'll be able to tailor their stories to your interests for a more personal experience. Heading back outside, your guide will give you an introduction to the extravagant Palace Gardens and allow you to wander them on your own. Depending on the day, you’ll see either the Fountains Show, where the beautiful fountains come to life to music, or the musical Gardens Show. In the afternoon, you'll have free time to explore the rest of the royal domain, such as the Gallery of Coaches (open weekends and public holidays) or the Trianon Estate, where Marie Antoinette enjoyed her private moments at palaces like Petit Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet. With a roundtrip train ticket to Paris included, enjoy the flexibility of returning to the City of Lights whenever you wish.

Wij vonden het een mooie rondleiding door de tuin en het Paleis. Zeker een aanrader om dit te bezoeken. Veel informatie van de gids gekregen en door de TUI begeleiding weer goed teruggebracht via de trein. Doordat het erg druk was moest je goed op je eigen spullen letten. Maar toch de moeite waard!!!!!!

Экскурсия была хорошая, за неё 5 звёзд, но вот никакого минибуса не было, мы на метро ездили туда и обратно. И вообще организация неочень, билеты не работали, обратные билеты сразу не дали, так что за организацию 2…
