The Palace of Versailles Tours 2026/2027

Overview

Take a trip to The Palace of Versailles on your France Vacation

The Palace of Versailles was originally the hunting lodge of France's King Louis XIII but was converted into an opulent residence by his son Louis XIV and beautified further by successive kings. It is a stunning example in French 17th-century art, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Enter the magnificent chambers and salons of former French monarchs, the Hall of Mirrors with 17 arcaded windows, the light of which is reflected by 17 identical mirrors, the Salon of Peace and Salon of War, the princes' wing, and the sprawling grounds with manicured lawns, parterres, and fountains. Visit the galleries at the palace that houses sculptures and luxurious coaches. Stroll through the estate's park, a lush oasis featuring The Grand Canal, Lake of Swiss Guards, and Rivulet of Gally. You can expect to spend an hour or more exploring the estate. The high season is from April to October, when online booking is recommended to guarantee admission to the palace.

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW
