    Great full day!

    Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Nice lunch included. Being a small group we were able to stay ahead of a lot of large groups.

    Thank you Julien!

    This tour was everything I had hoped for and much more. Julien was outstanding..incredibly knowledgeable, gracious, funny and patient. I toured with my parents..my mother has mobility difficulties due to multiple back surgeries and I specifically chose this experience so that we could be flexible according to her needs. Julien went out of his way throughout the day to secure a wheelchair when walking would be too much for my mother. He pushed her in the wheelchair through much of the garden at Giverny, and almost the entirety of our time at Versailles, all while providing amazing insight and history. The ease with which we entered and explored both sites was an incredible relief for me, as I just wanted my parents to see as much as we could. If Julien didn’t think a normal part of the tour was wise, we pivoted to something safer. Even on the drive, Julien would stop to show us important historical sites and breathtaking views. Giverny has always been on my bucket list..it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. Seeing my parents looked after by Julien as I would look after them was the most priceless part of the tour. Thank you for everything Julien, I’ll never forget your kindness!!

    Superb Private Tour

    Julian was our guide and he was exceptionally knowledgeable. He was patient with all my questions and really to time to explain the key things we saw. It was an exceptional experience and I highly recommend it.

    Lovely personalized tour of Giverny and Versailles

    Lovely experience even on one of the hottest days. Our tour guide and driver Fabrice was excellent- very considerate of my mother's handicapped needs and and a fabulous tour guide. We all learned a lot about the surrounding countryside and the specific places we visited. We had special entry at Versailles for her. The Mercedes was an extremely comfortable ride as well!! Highly recommend this tour and ask for Fabrice if you can!

    This is a wonderful trip...

    This is a wonderful trip to share as a family. One full day of both Giverny and Versailles with lunch was the best experience. Our guide, Chris, was prompt, informative and helpful. So glad we did it. The vehicle was comfortable and my teen and tween grandchildren learned so much about both places. They loved it and loved our guide/driver Chris!

    Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up cost?

    +

    Prices start at $859 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 Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 57 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 Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up?

    +

    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 Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up?

    +

    Around 20 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up 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 Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up?

    +

    Included: Expert local guide; Lunch; Air-conditioned vehicle; Private transportation; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Gratuities (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2110 listed pickup locations in and around Paris. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Russian, 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 Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up?

    +

    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 Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch&Hotel Pick-up wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
