Versailles by
private driver
A transfer to get you there, a driver who waits while you visit, or the full day at the palace and the Trianon. The price depends only on the vehicle and the option you choose, and it is confirmed before you set off.
Transfers from €140 · Versailles & Trianon day from €800, skip-the-line tickets included
Transfer, hourly hire or full day
Three options, one question: do you want the driver to stay with you during the visit?
Paris ↔ Versailles transfer
Your driver collects you from your address in Paris and drops you off in Versailles, or the other way round. Priced like an airport transfer: €140 in an E-Class, €160 in a V-Class, €200 in an S-Class.
Best if you are staying overnight in Versailles, you do not yet know when you will head back, or you are making your own way back to Paris. A return trip counts as two transfers.
Book a transferHourly hire (chauffeur at your disposal)
The car and driver stay with you: you are dropped off, the driver waits through the visit and takes you back whenever you are ready. Waiting time is part of the package.
Best if you would rather see the palace, the gardens or the town at your own pace, without booking the full day or fixing a return time in advance.
Book the driverVersailles & Trianon
The Palace of Versailles, the Hall of Mirrors, the French formal gardens, the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet, with your driver for ten hours from Paris.
Best if you want to see the whole estate without organising anything yourself. A state-licensed guide is available as an option, quoted on request.
