Things to do in Palace of Versailles

I was lucky enough to squeeze in a tour with Indigo Travel's Peter Pan guide to Giverny (which closes in the winter), Van Gogh's village, and the Palace of Versailles as the last tour of 2025. This tour is highly recommended, offering a perfect blend of fun, emotion, and informative content! The guide's energy level was just right for me, providing excellent explanations and even bringing a DSLR camera to take beautiful snapshots. We, the three sisters, were deeply touched by the guide's dedication and sincerity, and the kind guidance created unforgettable memories. While Paris is great, Indigo Travel's Peter Pan guide is a must-do for a day trip outside of the city! Don't miss it! lol

If you see nothing else while in Paris, you MUST see the palace! This place was absolutely incredible and the gardens were beautiful and so big! I honestly wish we could have spent more time there.

I had purchased a Paris Museum Pass and was planning to use it for entry, but I took the wrong train that day and lost my Museum Pass. When I looked for same-day tickets, I found that there was a time slot available with this ticket, so I rebooked and entered the Palace of Versailles. I really wanted to visit the Palace of Versailles during my trip to Paris, so I was very sad when I lost my Museum Pass, but thanks to this ticket, I was able to go without any problems! Thank you (^^)

andre was our tour guide, he was excellent. he explained the versailles palace and the history of king louis XIV. the palace itself took around 1.5 hours to just do a walkthrough. but the gardens was massive. we only went to the dragon fountain and then we walked back. the gardens is so big, you need around 4 hours just to walk the whole place. theres small golf cart for rent, this is a faster option to get to all the fountains.

Dana is kindness itself! And her voice is so lovely, and her explanations were so informative and well-delivered! The radio segments and music she played throughout were perfect!!! 👍✨ The weather was also amazing, making it a happy and enjoyable, perfect tour!! Be sure to book on a day with good weather, haha.

Very beautiful and definitely worth visiting, just be prepared for a long and slow queue to get in!

Our experience was truly wonderful — everything went smoothly, efficiently, and beyond expectations. The service was excellent, and everything was handled with great professionalism. The place itself was absolutely breathtaking — every corner offered something beautiful to admire. A successful visit all around, and one I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable experience!

There are timed entry slots available, and reservations are subject to availability, so it's recommended to plan ahead. The Palace of Versailles is vast, so arriving in the morning will allow for a more thorough visit.
