About this experience

I’m very familiar with the Place, and very passionate by its history, art and backstage stories. The tour I do in Versailles I call A Royal Day in Versailles, because during this tour I try to bring you back in times, make you step in Louis the 14th grandeur and feel this place alive. Versailles is more then a Palace, what is it then? Join me on a private tour and we will discover it together.

Mother Daughter Trip to Versailles
Two mothers and their 13 year old daughters truly enjoyed this tour of the highlights of Versailles without waiting in any lines. Hotel service made it simple to get there. Iuliana was warm and easy to talk to. She provided great insight into Versailles and its history and commentary on the way to and from as well. She was able to easily connect without 13 year old daughters, as she has a daughter of similar age. Would definitely recommend this splurge as a way to see Versailles!

Best Tour guide ever - Iuliana
Iuliana was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. She was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and full of personality. We book her for a full day Versailles visit, and she made our day exceptional. The deep knowledge she has of Paris and its history, coupled with her passion for storytelling, made this a day I’ll never forget. 1000% recommend Iuliana for any (and all) of your excursions in Paris. Her inclusion on your visits will enhance your experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! I'm truly honored to have been a part of your Versailles visit, and I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure to share my passion for this place and its history with you, and I'm glad it made your day special. Your recommendation means the world to me, and I look forward to guiding you on more adventures in the future! Wishing you all the best, Kindly Iuliana

Excellent guide
Juliana is very friendly and polite. She knows Versailles inside out, having worked there for several years. When we return to Paris we will surely use Juliana's excellent guide services again.
Response from the operator: Cher Luc, chère Caroline, Merci infiniment pour vos aimables paroles ! Je suis ravie que votre expérience avec mes services de guide ait été agréable. Travailler à Versailles pendant plusieurs années m'a permis de connaître le lieu à la perfection, et je suis heureuse d'avoir pu partager cette connaissance avec vous. C'est avec grand plaisir que je vous accueillerai à nouveau lors de votre prochaine visite à Paris. N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour toute future exploration. Bien cordialement, Iuliana

Marvelous!
I took my two grand daughters to Paris and we spent two days with Julieta. She was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, personal and fun. She made our trip more memorable than we could ever imagine. I highly recommend her! Bon Voyage!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Versailles Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Versailles Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1700 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 Private Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Private Guided Tour?
+
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 Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Versailles Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 3 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Versailles Private Guided Tour 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 Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). 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.
