This Versailles Experience is Different
Currently available by private request.
Join us for an unforgettable, luxuriant, and leisurely day savoring the ‘must-see’ of Versailles without waking up early or biking for hours.
Experience our Curated Highlights of Versailles — a day filled with French passion for food, history, wine, & current events alike…unlike any ‘tour’ out there!
We will pick you up from a location of your choice at the start of the day…
Then a private vehicle takes us from your hotel directly to the Versailles Marché (voted ‘most beautiful’ in France) for a guided walk through to our favorite stalls for a roaming morning tasting as we decode French food culture.
Relaxing + Effortless
After a short walk through the elegant village of Versailles, we arrive at the breathtaking splendor of the Royal Domain wherein we are squired effortlessly through stunning Royal Gardens, Louis XIV’ fountains, Marie Antoinette’s private hideaway and theatre to the stunning Grand Canal for lunch at one of the on-site restaurants.
Feel Versailles come alive, dive inside the lives of the most scandalous royals in history with a passionate local expert.
Well-crafted, Perfectly-timed
We have timed our experience to best avoid the infamous 2 hour line, so you explore the sumptuous Royal Palace–with its glittering Hall of Mirrors + bedroom of Marie Antoinette, at your pace.
Instead of crowding onto packed trains as our day ends, we melt into our seats in a private luxury vehicle.
This is enjoying Versailles like a royal. There’s no other experience like it.

The weather is slightly more extreme than Paris, be it hot or cold. Much of this experience is outdoors. Sunscreen or hats for summer are a necessity. Rain gear is recommended for all seasons. Please dress accordingly for the weather. You’ll have the opportunity to buy marche items like jams, truffles, and cheeses to take home.
