Private Tour of Versailles from Paris
Join our private tour and the most effective opportunity to explore the posh countryside-ish suburb beyond Paris city limits.
You’ll follow your French tour guide on a relaxed scenic route filled with countless eye-catching highlights, leisurely drive your own automatic Vespa scooter by yourself or with your travel mate as passenger. At the end of the road stands ostentatiously the palace of Versailles, home of three generations of kings from Louis XIV to the unfortunate Louis XVI, beheaded with his wife, Queen Marie-Antoinette during the French Revolution. With the freedom that your scooter gives you, we might focus on the palace area or drive further to small quaint towns and villages. We drive back to Paris taking a different route with more surprises and the assurance that your day will be filled with lovely memories as you enjoy this Vespa tour to Versailles!
