Ticketing experience was fine. No issues. What I had a problem with was some minor organizational issues. We are told to be 15 minutes early. We waited for 2 people for 10 minutes past the tour departure time. Why bother being early? Someone asked if we were able to leave items on the bus, we were told that the bus was going to be making other trips while we were in Versailles, so "probably not a good idea". The answer should have been "no." Versailles is an amazing place, and it was wonderful to see it and learn about it's very interesting past.

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.

Walking the halls of history & symphony of springs

Venture through the grandiose Hall of Mirrors, a marvel of 17th-century craftsmanship, and soak in the opulence of the Grand Apartments, each room a testament to the Sun King's love for luxury. Did you know? The Hall of Mirrors wasn’t just for show, it was also a passageway and a waiting room.

After touring the palace, venture into the expansive Palace Gardens, a masterpiece of symmetry designed by André Le Nôtre. If you’re visiting between April and October, make sure to catch the Musical Fountains Show, where fountains spring to life in perfect harmony with classical music.
