Versailles is a must see destination. The transportation was very comfortable and convenient. The tour bus narrator was very communicative and spoke several languages. Angelina's restaurant was so good. The food was delicious and not too expensive.

Congratulations for employing Ivana! Ivana was superb, has extensive knowldege and passion for art and history. The tour ran smoothly and in 2 hours we had a completed an excellent introduction to the Louvre and seen some masterpieces. Ivana was warm and friendly with an in-depth knowledge of the masterpieces as well as the surrounding artworks. This tour was inspiring and kept 2 adults and an 11 year old engaged and interested to the end.

It is an amazing sensation to enter the palace, as if you travel back in time and find yourself in the midst of historical events. We spent more than two hours in the palace without noticing how the time flew by. And the garden, shocked by its beauty and majesty....

we went on a Friday night while there were a lot of people there you could still see everything your wanted. you really need to devote 3 hours minimum but know that you need to prioritize--you will not be able to see everything. This is an amazing museum and a must visit if you are in Paris.

The organizers phoned to see if we'd arrived and waited with a red flag for us to rejoin the group, as we were 2 minutes late for the tour to start. Interesting guide who helped us learn more about the castle's history while visiting the most spectacular rooms.

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

There was an exhibition at the Pompidou center for which we didn't think we could get tickets anymore. Now that it was possible through headout was quite special. The exhibition was very large in scope but in terms of content I found it meager. But the fact that we could go there on such a short termin was great.

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.

You don't wait it the very long line huge benefit! If it is your first time in Louvre you do not expect how huge it is. It is perfect to get you to Mona Lisa or you might get lost and to need hours to get oriented and find your bearings. Worth it. I recommend to anyone who visits the Louvre for the first time.

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
