Private Versailles Guided Experience: Gardens, Trianon and Royal History

Explore Versailles through a private guided experience tailored exclusively to your group. Begin before the crowds at the Château and continue into the magnificent royal gardens, where the Orangerie, Grand Perspective, fountains, and hidden groves reveal how André Le Nôtre transformed the landscape into a spectacular setting for Louis XIV and the French monarchy.

See the remarkable bosquets as your expert guide explains the symbolism of the gardens and how art, architecture, and mythology celebrated the power of the Sun King. Enjoy free time for lunch at Petite Venise overlooking the Grand Canal before taking the petit train through the royal estate to the Domaine de Trianon.

Discover the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, and Queen’s Hamlet, exploring Marie-Antoinette’s more private world away from court life. Visit the charming Hameau and hear stories about the personalities, pleasures, and controversies surrounding life at Trianon, while your guide adapts the experience to your interests and preferred pace.

Listen to stories about the events that transformed Versailles from a symbol of royal power into a setting of the French Revolution. Explore the Grand Apartments and Hall of Mirrors independently with the included Passport ticket, and discover the connection between Versailles and the United States through the exhibition marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.
