Tour Details

We will gather at the designated meeting point located at number 7 on Avenue Silvestre de Sacy, conveniently situated near the Eiffel Tower. From there, our adventure begins as we head towards the most recognizable monument in Paris.

Our first stop is to appreciate the architectural marvel created by Gustave Eiffel for the 1798 World Fair, observing its impressive exterior. After absorbing some fascinating insights into its construction, we will ascend the stairs that lead to the Iron Lady, accessing the first and second levels of the Eiffel Tower.

The elevation of the first floor stands at 57 m (187 ft), while the second floor reaches a height of 115 m (377.2 ft). This vantage point allows us to relish spectacular panoramic sights of Paris. Key landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, and the River Seine will be visible from our lookout.

Following a 1.5-hour guided exploration of the Eiffel Tower, we will stroll to the nearby Champ de Mars station. Here, we will board an RER train that will transport us to Versailles, the historic capital of the French Kingdom, in a mere 30 minutes. Be prepared to be enchanted from the start!

Upon arriving at the station, a brief walk will lead us to the Palace of Versailles, an exquisite example of French Baroque architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once we reach the palace, you will enjoy an hour of free time to wander and refresh yourself.

Our next segment will be a guided tour of the gardens of Versailles, which will last roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes. Designed by André Le Nôtre, the gardens boast impressive fountains, sculptures, and symmetrical paths that embody the grandeur of the Sun King.

Throughout this tour, we will admire the palace from the outside while uncovering intriguing details about the court of Louis XIV, in whose reign this elegant residence reached its peak magnificence. At the conclusion of the garden tour, we will provide you with your entry ticket to the Palace of Versailles. Inside, you can take your time exploring significant rooms such as the Royal Apartments and the Hall of Mirrors, where the treaty concluding the First World War was signed.

The entire experience will encompass around 8 hours. You will return to Paris from Versailles independently, and we will furnish you with an open-term ticket, allowing you to choose your return time. Please keep in mind that this ticket is valid solely on the day of the excursion.
