Loved our guide Not sure about Headout : would like to find an agency that provides a reminder. We booked so far in advance. Not their fault but we missed our Notre Dame/Citi/seine tour and Orsay tour because we were only slightly late not through our fault and they would not consider a refund or voucher for future tour.

The guided tour of the private apartments was very good and our guide, Tatiana, very interesting and experienced. Then, the experience was less satisfying; far too many people in the ceremonial rooms. We passed through without really seeing the rooms, following the tide of people. Then we were refused access to the Gardens, on the pretext that our ticket didn't include it. visit. However, in the title of the reservation, and the price paid, it was clearly written: with full access to the Palais and the Gardens. Disappointment, incomprehension and injustice, since that's what we had booked...
