    Beautiful Day!

    Gregor was the best! Combined great information with a sense of humor. The three hours flew by and I’d definitely another tour with him and/or Liv.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Gregor made your day at Versailles and Giverny such an enjoyable one. Combining fascinating insights with a great sense of humor is a wonderful way to bring these places to life, and we love knowing that the three hours simply flew by. It means a lot to hear that you’d happily choose Gregor and LivTours again—we’ll be delighted to welcome you on your next adventure!

    Private Tour of Versailles and Grounds

    Abed was an awesome guide. He was on time at the meeting point, spoke English perfectly, was very friendly and well organised. Really impressed with his knowledge of Versailles and the grounds. Tour was well paced given the heat. Abed had particularly good knowledge of the art so we were made aware of aspects we would otherwise have missed or not known. The driver was also friendly, accommodating and helped us sort a place for lunch. Highly recommend this tour 👍🏻

    Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens cost?

    +

    Prices start at €219 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

    Is Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paris?

    +

    Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paris?

    +

    April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paris?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens?

    +

    Included: Reserved entry to Monet's Giverny house & gardens; Guided visit of Versailles palace; Hall of Mirrors; Versailles Passport Tickets (full estate access); and Guided visit of Versailles gardens. Not included: Giverny portion of the tour is unguided; and Lunch Break. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 137 listed pickup locations in and around Paris. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Tour of Versailles and Giverny Palace and Monets Gardens if the weather is bad?
