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).
