    There was no one at the meeting point. Half an hour waiting and the bus or someone from the company did not show up. We asked at the Hyatt and neighbors and they told us it was not there. In short, the service was not provided and it seems that it was a ghost agency because no one knew how to explain it to us. We lost the opportunity to visit Versailles because we relied on the reservation that could never be used and there were no more tickets available at the palace itself. It was a pity to buy on the web.

    Comfortable coach, well organised tour with clear instructions from Headout. Particularly LOVED our guide Severine at the Palace of Versailles. Swooned when I walked through MONET'S garden and house. Giverney is a gorgeous village.

    The tour itself and our guide were great. Good to have an option to visit as many places as possible if you're traveling for a short period of time. I would like to stay longer in Versailles though. Thecritical thing about the tour is that I had confusing information about 2 mewting points in my ticket. 2 agents from Headout confirmed the one that apparently was weong. Due to the Olympics, it was changed. But I connected with ith the tour organizers and ended up to the right direction. Otherwise I could miss the experience. It would be frustrating.
