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.

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.

I thought that the information presented in the catacombs was well done, and the audio guide was very helpful.. One suggestion: please warn people that they will need to walk 130 steps down and 130 steps up. That's it. For the rest, the visit was excellent! I will definitely recommend the visit to friends and acquaintances, with the caveat about the steps. :-)

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

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.

My guide seemed to enjoy what he was doing which is always a good thing. He was very informative and I liked his approach for teaching us new information. I was very disappointed that I didn't get to see or touch any clay courts. I understand the situation but it was still disappointing nonetheless. The booking process was simple enough for me to understand. Very much appreciated. Thank you for a great time. Desta Donnell

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
