The 10 Best Entry Tickets

1.Entry ticket & Private Apartments VIP Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 298 reviews · 1h 30m Our pick

Priority entry plus a guided tour of Versailles private apartments of Louis XV and Louis XVI, then state rooms and Hall of Mirrors.

“Tour was definitely worth the additional cost. The guide was very knowledgeable and you get access to the chapel (which was a high point). The tour of the apartments was really interesting and the lack of crowds made it easier to appreciate your surroundings. A full day is needed to see the whole of Versailles. The areas without the tour were incredibly busy and there was a lot of shoving. Highly recommend booking this experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 55 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $50

Timed entry to Versailles with gardens, Trianon, and Marie Antoinette’s estate, plus phone audio and musical gardens on select days.

“I never received my entry tickets. I contacted the Tour operator multiple times within the hour before my booking time with no answer. I contacted Viator as well who just sent the same message I did to the tour operator. I messaged through the Viator app and called the Tour operator number. No answer. The Tour operator finally called me AFTER my booking time had come and gone. By then I had already bought tickets directly from Versailles. This was a terrible experience because I paid almost $200 for NOTHING. Literally. I was told that I could REQUEST a refund but no guarantee. I will never be using Viator again…”

7.Skip-the-Line Palace Entry Ticket & Lunch at Ore

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 21 reviews · 1 day · from $175

Skip-the-line Versailles entry plus a 3-course lunch at Ore with palace views, Crémant and wine, and time to explore at your pace.

“Achei bom, os pratos, atendimento dos funcionários. Uma boa experiência, porém não repetiria. Muita confusão para entrar, vc acha que será algo mais VIP, já que está pagando por uma experiência única, me senti "gado". Manda pra lá, manda pra cá, o tal elevador da torre é enorme e vão todos espremidos lá dentro. Enfim, vale o perrengue uma vez para conhecer, mas não vale passar por tudo novamente. Existem restaurantes incríveis em Paris, mais baratos, comida delícia e sem perrengues e confusão. Decepcionante por fim.”
