Dead Poets Society in Versailles

Herman_M, Aug 2025

I suspect the guide, Frederic, is French. His explanation in English was so beautiful and inspiring. It reminded me of Dead Poets Society, where the teacher was so historically intoxicating. Wow! Louis XIV uncensured.

Loved it, great guided tour, highly recommend

Rachel L, Aug 2025

Highly recommend getting a guided tour rather than just wandering around (which you can do anyway after the tour). The palace itself is spectacular. We were there on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't too crowded. Our guide Barbara was fantastic, full of historical knowledge, personable and very funny. She answered questions fully and clearly, she knows her stuff. We found out so much we would have missed otherwise. Loved it, thank you very much Barbara

Great visit

ZOEVALENTINE, Aug 2025

Osvaldo was our guide.ww had headphones so we could hear him really well. He kept us moving and gave us just the right level of information. An amazing place. We went back in the evening to see the fireworks (not through a company) we waited for nearly 3 hours for 20 mins of fireworks. They were good but the event was meant to be at 8… so a lot of grumbling people!
