“Our coach bus broken down which led to us skipping Giverny completely. We didn’t get to Versailles until 4pm and only spent 1.5hrs there. I’d recommend traveling to Versailles and Giverny using public transportation from Paris. It would be much more relaxing that way.”

5.Palace of Versailles: tickets, audio guide and transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 3 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $218

Private transfer plus official Versailles ticket and a free downloadable audio guide, with time in the Palace and the Gardens.

“As veteran travelers, this tour provided just what we were looking for: hotel pick up and transfer to Versailles with minimum of hassle getting into the palace. The car was immaculately clean, driver was friendly and provided water, he directed us to the correct line out of many at the entrance and got us safely to the hotel. We were able to give him the time we wanted to return and was even able to pick us up early when a cold wind came up and made the gardens not as enjoyable. I would use his service again.”
