These are the 4 best train experiences in Paris right now: what each one costs, how long it takes, and which kind of traveller it suits. Start at number one; it is top for a reason.
Skip the line at Versailles with an escorted train from Paris, a guided palace tour, and Musical Gardens or Fountain Show included.
“Tour was top notch from start to finish. Transportation guide was very friendly and efficient. Museum guide was informative and engaging. Research extras before you go like golf carts, trolley rides and restaurants in town.”
Skip-the-line Versailles from Paris by train with an escort. Hall of Mirrors, royal apartments, gardens, and an optional Petit Trianon upgrade.
“Horrible. We were here at 08:30 in the morning waiting outside the cafe. The tour guide never came to the cafe and left without us”
Small-group Versailles day trip with round-trip train from Paris, guided gardens, and timed Palace entry plus summer fountain show on select days.
“Our guide I think his name was Martine was fabulous! He told the best explanations regarding the statues in the gardens. He was very entertaining. The palace was over the top opulent but glad we saw it.”
Bike from Paris to Versailles with train tickets and palace entry. Explore gardens and Marie Antoinette’s hamlet, then visit the palace.
“This was a great tour! I am so glad we chose to do a bike tour. There is really no other way to explore the grounds as extensively since Versailles is huge. Our guide, Marley, was fun but also extremely knowledgeable and we walked away with a new understanding of French history that we were not expecting. It is a long day and pretty tiring (and even though we were on bikes, it does involve a lot of walking) but 100% worth it. Do it!”
Ride a vintage Montmartre train for Sacré-Cœur views, then add a Seine cruise with audio commentary—30 minutes plus up to 1 hour.
“Great fun adventure, easy and unique way to see Montmantre”
RER A train plus Disneyland Paris and/or Walt Disney Studios tickets for one magical day, with fireworks, castle views, and show-stopping light.
“Getting the train tickets plus the entry into the park was the best way to go. There was a line to get train tickets at the train station that we were able to divert. The park itself is amazing! Highly recommend! Food and souvenirs are the only things you need to pay for. You can bring food and drinks in as well! Highly recommend going on all the rides!”
