Versailles: Palace & Gardens Guided Tour with Pre-reserved Tickets

Discover the wonders of the Versailles Palace and its Royal Gardens on a semi-private tour with pre-reserved tickets. Visit the most iconic parts of the palace and stroll through its gardens while learning about French royalty and their fascinating history.

Walk through the world-renowned Gallery of Mirrors. Sunlight pours through arched windows, reflecting off shimmering chandeliers to create a dazzling spectacle. Imagine the grandeur of royal events in this hall, where political deals were sealed and history was made.
