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!
Friendly and knowledgeable guide
