Very easy to use the tickets - I scanned the barcode at the barrier then we passed my phone between us so that each of us could scan our tickets. The chateau was spectacular from the opulent bedrooms to the little area where they set out what Napoleon's on-tour accommodation would have looked like. The cafe and toilets were clean but basic - the cafe tables were outside. We saw lots of couples having wedding photos taken which was cute. The grounds were beautiful.

The Rodin museum was one of my favorite museums in Paris. I toured the sculpture garden first then enjoyed getting the context and history from the museum exhibits. A few days later I visited the house of Antoine Bourdelle, a student of Rodin, which provided even more color around Rodin's influence.

Our guide Phillippe was extremely well-versed in not just the works of art themselves, but the history of the Louvre as well. His ability to describe each object from multiple viewpoints aided in our appreciation and enjoyment of the entire experience. His tour was also well-paced, thorough without being rushed. I had been to the Louvre 4-5 times previously and with Phillippe's expert knowledge, I gained a while new perspective. Kudos to Phillippe! Highest recommendation!

What I really liked is the privileged site of this archaeological excavation, its historical content and the ease with which it helped me to transport me to the time in which the forms and customs of the time in which they traded, transported goods and passengers are related. It provided me with a very common lesson: what starts well and is kept in permanent improvement, will improve in the future. Despite its good condition, the exhibition is in need of some renovation, in its lighting and museography.

Ok so first thing to say ia that this is legitimate and from a proper company and it works.. Basically they get you to meet near the small triumphal arch and everyone gets a sticker.. What happens next is that you go as a group of about 20 down a completely separate entrance.. the guide takes you to a special group area and gives a breif in a dedicated room.. He then did a pretty quick tour of some of the main highlights with a bit of commentary.. (id say his tour was a bit over an hour).. you are then free to explore the museum on yr own.. For us the royal rooms and some of the ancient foreign artefacts were more if a highlight than the mona lisa (they could so with a more formal queue sygem for that.. at the moment its just a massive scrum in front of the painting with no system) So overall definitely reccomend.. it is a genune way to beat the queue and the quick tour was great

Our guide Leo was so excited and knowledgable about the catacombs! We were very engaged in the many stories and history of the catacombs and surrounding area. The use of photos on the guide's phone really helped to tie everything together. My only complaint is that Leo arrived about 15 minutes late to the meeting point. After that, everything moved along well.

It was great to find a tour that included two key sites in one day trip. Many available are one or the other and when you are travelling you often have limited time so finding a way to put them both together definitely was a highlight. Both tours were run by different tour guides, and the tour at the palace of Versailles was run by such an expert in the field it was fantastic to have someone so passionate showing us around. Tips for anyone taking this tour: - if you want to save money you can bring a packed lunch pretty easily as there is no designated meal time. That's at your own discretion - it starts early and we don't stop for your own time until midday so definitely eat breakfast beforehand or bring snacks - Monets house was packed so do that first before you even look at the gardens otherwise you may miss out - bring a hat if it is spring or summer especially - there is water available to purchase but bring your own - the location they drop you off afterwards is different to pickup and they didn't give us that location. It made it a little harder for us to return to our hotel after as it was further away and we didn't know. Not a deal breaker but don't plan anything afterwards to give you extra time to travel at the end

I liked that during the trip to Versailles there was an explanation of the sites we passed through, it was something I didn't expect, I thought it would just be a transfer. I also saved time in downloading the app at the ticket office because you explained it to us in advance, so I had the opportunity to review the guide and see what I was most interested in to plan my visit.

My experience with Headout was all good except one thing. We were struggling to find the meeting point and they were trying to contact me via WhatsApp, without any prior notice that they would use WhatsApp or any previous comms on it. I was monitoring SMS and tried unsuccessfully to use the phone number provided in the email to contact them to say we were in the area. The phone system is layers of menus and then cut me off before answering. We missed our tour but fortunately were able to get on the next. My advice to other travellers is to allow 45mins ahead of the departure time and view contact on WhatsApp, email and SMS if you think you may be late. The meet and greet staff and the guide were excellent.

Booking was easy. I really appreciated being able to choose a date for each of these activities. The cancal was a great ride. On the other hand, we didn't get to visit the submarine, even though we had waited in line because we hadn't made a reservation... It was in fact noted on the ticket, but this information got lost in the shuffle. It's not your responsibility, but perhaps it should be made clearer. Likewise for access to films... people need to find out about the program and times so that they can access what interests them. Once again, we couldn't get in. It's a bit frustrating, it was our 1st time and I imagine that most of the others for whom it's their 1st time are experiencing the same unpleasant surprises. Kind regards
