Versailles the easy way — private, door-to-door
Versailles is only about 45 minutes from central Paris, yet the RER train and coach tours turn
it into a long, crowded day. With DRIVIGO you have a private chauffeur who picks you up at your
hotel, drops you at the palace gates, waits, and brings you home — no queuing for a train with tired feet.
Spend your time on the Hall of Mirrors, the State Apartments, the
Gardens and the Trianon, and, if you wish, extend the day to Giverny and
Monet's House and Gardens. Perfect for a couple, a family,
or a client you want to look after.
100% private
Your Mercedes and chauffeur are yours alone. No group, no shared schedule, no waiting for a coach to fill up.
Door-to-door
Picked up at your hotel, dropped at the palace gates, collected when you're ready. No RER, no parking, no stress.
English-speaking on request
A professional, discreet chauffeur, English-speaking on request, who knows the estate and can advise on timing and entrances.
Versailles day trip from Paris — FAQ
Is this a private tour or a group tour?
Your vehicle and chauffeur are reserved for your party. The pickup, stops and return time are agreed for your chosen programme and duration.
How much does a private Versailles trip from Paris cost?
From €500 for an example half-day of up to 5 hours in a sedan for up to 3 guests. The programme, vehicle and selected options determine your quote. Full-day programmes, vans for up to 6 and Prestige vehicles are quoted individually. Entrance tickets, a licensed guide and other extras are separate unless expressly included in the quote.
What days is the Palace of Versailles open?
The Palace is usually closed on Mondays, with other closures and seasonal opening hours to consider. Check the official opening information for your visit date before choosing a transport schedule. Gardens and Trianon have their own access conditions.
How much time do you need for a Versailles day trip?
Your reserved transport time includes the journeys from and back to Paris. Agree how much time you want inside the Palace and gardens. Visiting Trianon or adding Giverny may require a longer programme; allow for opening hours, your entry slot and traffic.
How far is Versailles from Paris by car?
Journey time depends on your Paris pickup address and traffic. We agree the pickup and return schedule around your visit; allow enough time for your timed entry rather than treating a journey estimate as guaranteed.
Do you provide a guide, or skip-the-line tickets?
The chauffeur provides transport and is not an in-palace licensed guide. Entrance tickets and guided visits are separate unless expressly included in your quote. Reserve the required entry slot through the official ticket office and tell us your booking time. Timed entry does not mean immediate admission without waiting.
Can we add Giverny and Monet’s gardens?
A combined day can be studied on request, depending on both sites’ opening dates, available entry slots and the time needed for each visit. Share your priorities before confirming a full-day programme.
Is the trip suitable for families or small groups?
A V-Class van can accommodate up to 6 guests depending on the configuration. Share luggage, a folded pushchair and child-seat requirements so capacity and equipment can be checked. Selected child-seat options are shown before booking confirmation.
