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.

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 !
