Everything was great—the punctuality, the communication. I think they really took care of every detail. Honestly, I think coming to Paris and being able to buy tickets so easily is a huge plus because there are so many people. I think the timing was perfect, and it made it much easier to see the Mona Lisa without having to deal with such huge crowds. I highly recommend it.

It’s definitely an experience you have to try at least once in your life. The weather wasn’t great, but the gardens are spectacular. My only complaint is that I didn’t receive my tickets until less than an hour before my appointment, which left me feeling a bit rushed.

Always using Headout to book the visits while traveling. The platform is quite convenient and good choices offered. This time we went to Versalle and it was amazing experience for the palace and gardens. We made booking just 4 days prior visit and tickets were available. Highly recommend to come and see that beauty

We went on February 5th with my family and had an awesome time. Wear comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking around the gardens or take the petite train. Specially if you want to visit Marie Antoinette playground.

Florence made the difference! She would explain everything with all her heart. You can see how much she loves her work.

I enjoyed hearing at seeing history through a French perspective. Being an American, our history lessons are so limited that we remain ignorant. Just listening to another perspective was enlightening and helped me to see the beauty of Versailles along with the tragedy of the opulence when the people of France were in need. I could see courage and passion of an amazing country.

Everything was very organized, we left on time and the pick up point is easy to find and the guides are quite friendly. In addition, they speak several languages which I think is excellent.
