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 !

Great tour! Highly personable and knowledgeable guide! The ability to skip the giant lines was already worth the price but the excellent tour guide took the experience over the top. Highly recommend!Wendy

It was a quiet day at Versailles so Nils was able to walk us around at a good pace. The 9.10am start helped as well as crowds had not really started. He was very knowledgeable and funny. The gardens were amazing and we enjoyed exploring them ourselves.Luis

We were fascinated! The guide was very clear and despite the number of visitors we were able to follow her very well and learn about the history of the Palace of Versailles.View original review in Spanish

Our tour guide Pierre D was an excellent tour guide, and I don't hesitate to say he is probably one of the best we have experienced. He was very friendly, entertaining and did his best to be interactive with everyone in the group. His knowledge of the Versailles Palace was extensive and he made it easy to imagine being in the palace with the "Louis's". After the tour he gave us great advice for walking the palace gardens. Thank you Pierre for helping to make our vacation memorable.
