Olivia's stories and description of events were very thorough. I asked several questions, and she knew the answer to all of them. The audio devices provided worked well, and when they didn't fit one of the kids, she had an alternate option. Overall, a very good experience and we would do it again.

My 6- and 8-year-old children and I took a family tour of the Château de Versailles, including the gardens. The guide was able to interest both young and old with the history of the château, the kings Louis 14, 15 and 16 and the queens. However, as it was very crowded, we had to move quickly through some of the rooms.

It is a very nice experience, recommended for all those who travel to Paris, you can not miss it. Remember to buy a different ticket if you travel from Paris to Versailles by train.

This is the second time using Head Out. Both times were great experiences. This one was for the Palace.of Versialles. The guide was wonderful, very enthusiastic and engaging. She had great info about every room we went into. She also did her best to keep us out of the crowds (even though its off season, it's still very crowded, so we made the right decision getting a skip the line tour. It cost a little more, but it was worth it. The meet up was well explained in the email (we found our guide and group very easily and they were at the meeting point early!) everything was on point. I will definitely use Head Out again for my European Tours. Very pleased !

Your experience

Bask in the magnificence of the Palace

The exquisite Palace of Versailles is one of the most extraordinary achievements in 17th-century European art. Just a few minutes' walk from the Palace, you will meet your expert guide and receive your skip-the-line vouchers. Once inside, enjoy a guided tour of the most famous places within the Palace. Illustrating more than five centuries of French history, the Palace not only houses remarkable works of art -- it stands as a work of art itself.

Glittering Hall of Mirrors and other opulent features

Upgrade to all-access tickets to explore the ornate King and Queen's State Apartments. Learn about the French monarchy and explore the themed salons and their elaborate ceiling paintings. Next, make your way to the glittering Hall of Mirrors. Designed to protect the ornate walls and ceilings from smoke, the hall’s 357 mirrors were strategically placed to reflect the light of candles. With just a few flames, the reflection from so many mirrors was enough to light up the whole hall!
