1.Versailles Palace and Gardens Tour from Paris

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,390 reviews · 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $71Our pick

Tour Versailles from Paris by train with an English-speaking guide, skip the main line, see the Hall of Mirrors, and explore the gardens.

“Our tour guide was phenomenal: pleasant, knowledgable, and caring. We had a very positive experience and tour with her. The criticism is directed to the tour instructions, which are inaccurate and misleading. One, ID or passport copy is not required. DO NOT BRING THEM. Two, small umbrellas are permitted - because the instructions said no umbrellas, we left the umbrellas in the hotel. As a result, we got wet today and no matter being well dressed, froze to death because of the wetness. This is the 2nd trip in 2 days, where the instructions are incorrect or misleading. Big, big criticism…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 399 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $423Top rated

See Versailles with a private historian, priority palace entry, and a golf cart ride through the vast royal gardens.

“We were very excited to have hired a private historian to guide us through the grounds and the palace. We had an incredible experience before with a tour of Normandy and our expectations were very high. Our guide was nice, but lazy and did not seem interested in giving much information and history about this amazing place. If I were to do it again, I would get the golf cart for the grounds and get the ear pieces with the recorded history explaining the many facets of this place and not waste my money on a guide who really was tired and not wanting to give the history or didn't…”
