Paris & Versailles Group Tour

Group Paris & Versailles Sightseeing Excursion

Paris & Versailles Sightseeing Tour for Groups

Combine the highlights of Paris with a guided visit to the Palace of Versailles on a private full-day group tour. Travel by executive coach with a licensed English-speaking Tour Guide, enjoying panoramic sightseeing in Paris and a guided Versailles tour with priority entrance.

An 8-hour programme is suitable during low-season, or when only a short or no garden visit is required. From April to October, we recommend the 9 hour service if your group would like to visit the Versailles gardens. 

The order of the programme can be adapted according to your preference and, importantly, according to the Versailles admission time available on your requested date. The tour may therefore operate Paris first followed by Versailles, or Versailles first followed by Paris.

Private Guided Paris Sightseeing Tour

A licensed English-speaking Tour Guide provides live commentary throughout the visit and introduces many of the capital’s best-known monuments and districts.

The precise route can be adapted according to traffic conditions, timing and your group’s interests. Typical highlights include:

• Eiffel Tower & Trocadéro
• Arc de Triomphe & Champs-Élysées
• Place de la Concorde
• Invalides
• Opéra & Place Vendôme
• Louvre exterior
• Musée d’Orsay
• Notre-Dame & Île de la Cité
• Latin Quarter

From Paris to Versailles

Following the Paris sightseeing tour, your group continues by private coach to Versailles. Journey time varies according to traffic, and the day’s itinerary is organised around your confirmed Palace admission time.

Guided Visit of the Palace of Versailles

At Versailles, your licensed Tour Guide accompanies the group inside the Palace using the confirmed group reservation.

The guided visit includes the State Apartments and the famous Hall of Mirrors, subject to the visitor route operating on the day of your visit.

Audiophone equipment is included so that guests can hear the Tour Guide during the visit.

All visitors remain subject to the security procedures and access arrangements in place at the Château de Versailles.

Versailles Gardens

The amount of time available in the gardens depends on the duration selected for your programme.

With an 8-hour programme, a short garden visit may be possible after the Palace, depending on the Paris sightseeing route, traffic and the confirmed Versailles admission time.

From April to October, we recommend the 9-hour programme if your group would like to visit the gardens.

Where garden admission applies, the relevant arrangements are included in the package quotation.

8-Hour or 9-Hour Programme?

8 hours: recommended during the winter and off-season, or for groups wishing to concentrate on the Paris sightseeing tour and Palace of Versailles, with little or no time in the gardens.

9 hours: recommended from April to October, particularly when the group would like to visit the Versailles Gardens.

Groups of More Than 30 Guests

One licensed Tour Guide can accompany a maximum of 30 guests for the Versailles visit. Groups of 31 guests or more must therefore be divided and require at least two Tour Guides.

For example, a group of 50 guests is quoted with two licensed Tour Guides. Paris Connection coordinates the guiding and reservation arrangements so that the groups can follow the programme as smoothly as possible.
