All about the Versailles Fountains and Gardens

The tour has only 20 people. It was very quiet and informative in a private area on the palace. The guide was very happy to answer questions and knew a lot about the tour we were on. After the tour was over we went into the public viewing areas and these were full of people which made it difficult to see anything. We did get to the hall of mirrors, and that was a 'must see' part of the palace. I highly recommend the tour.

There was a delay of .5hours with our guide. Guide was excellent but they should carry flags. Many times we could hear his voice but had no idea where he was located, sometimes in another room! Visitors should be aware that you must know what guide service Headout utilizes.. My ticket and payment was not enough for sign in. Our guide service was Visit Paris. This was very confusing and we felt that we may not be able to do the tour.

I traveled solo to Versailles only to find the parlance was sold out. I did a google search & found HeadOut. I was able to purchase a ticket for later in the afternoon. It worked out perfectly! I was able to tour the gardens, explore the quaint city & have a late lunch before meeting Abed at the stature of Louis XIV at the specified time. He was very friendly, knowledgeable & provided a wonderful snapshot of life in the palace-highly recommend!

Very well organized, clearly presented, very professional. Bio, our guide was nice and told the story very well. No queuing and jostling. Can recommend a guide tour to anyone

Our tour guide Bo was great! Gave us a full history with great insight and was a wonderful tour, one which I don't think that we could have done by ourselves. Absolutely loved it!

Our guide, Sergio, was extraordinary, patient and very detailed in his explanations. He made the whole experience very enjoyable. I highly recommend him, without hesitation, for a successful visit!

Steph was amazing. Not just knowledgeable, but really brought to life the Kings and Queen of France. She had an unique way of making the tour really enjoyable. The Palace, itself, is extremely impressive.

Caroline the guide was excellent! Not only explaining the experience, but also guiding the whole group, which is not easy! Particularly she helped me to leave in security a gift that I had been given, a bottle of cognac that I could not enter. She was a total sweetheart and so much wisdom! I am looking forward to coming back! I will do it and I will recommend you to all my friends.

Small private group, guide very knowledgeable about history and very good explanations. We are privileged to have a self-guided tour. Very interesting and I recommend it.

It was a lovely building that we wanted to see. Our guide Bo was very good and was able to bring us to semi quiet places to view the rooms. It is extremely crowded in the palace. I really enjoyed the history as I wasn't very familiar with it.

Very interesting the guide's expertise and ability to make the modus vivendi understood and not just an aseptic explanation.

The information given was very interesting and easy to understand. An excellent tour and right length of time inside the palace. So much history to hear and see. Well worth the visit.

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 information and kindness of the guide Easy to arrange A very interesting guided tour

Fabulous enthusiastic Tour Guide. Palace was just amazing. Loved it!

❤️❤️❤️Maria's Antouanetas room

all very nice, both as an organization for tickets and the palace

Our guide was brilliant. Took ample time to show us all the history of Versailles.

The guide was brilliant and informative.

Despite the crowds, the guide managed to explain the essentials to us well

We purchased garden access and the guide said we could self tour the gardens after the guided tour, but forgot to give us the tickets so we could not get in and then had to purchase tickets. The customer service rep we spoke to for over an hour said someone would be in touch to address this and we have not heard from anyone.

Excellent guide beautiful building learnt a lot about French history in an entertaining way. And bypassed the very long Queues to get tickets.

Noelia was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Started on time and kept things moving nicely. Very enjoyable tour.

The tour guide Florence was wonderful and very informative. We were frustrated that we arrived at the Palace to find we did not have tickets and had to wait until 12noon. We wanted to go to the Gardens earlier. This may been in the small print somewhere but could have been set our clearer. Thanks.

Our guide, Francois was fantastic. We loved the tour with him, he was very knowledgeable. The best was at the end he gave us fantastic recommendations on the propoerty for after - including lunch and Trianon which were incredible. We had an incredible day thanks to our tour.

Everything went really well. The food was also good. Information about the tickets etc. was excellent. We were allowed into the castle 20 minutes beforehand. Great day at 35 degrees

Everything went really well with the tickets from Headout. We had booked the transfer from Paris to our destination as well as entry to Versailles Palace and the gardens. We were greeted and briefed in a friendly manner at the meeting point. A bus took us to the Palace of Versailles on time. From then on, we were able to explore the palace and gardens on our own. It was possible to take a transfer back to Paris, but we didn't use it as we stayed there for a long time. A wonderful day.

It is beautiful palace and amazing garden. I highly recommend to buy a ticket for little train which goes throw the garden, and there are a four stations. We took a boat and sailled throw the Grand Canale, visited Trianion and stayed all day in Versallis garden.

The experience was wonderful, the time entry went perfectly, me and my wife enjoyed the Versailles interior and the gardens are awesome.

Reliving the moments of history. I did not like the lack of information. Going in at 3:30 pm they could have communicated that the trianon closed at 6:45 pm at least we would have gone to the trianon first and then to the gardens.

If you like history, then it's definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed the whole experience from the gardens to the Palace itself. Would definitely recommend.

It was an amazing adventure. Versailles is magnificent and a true testament to man's need to spend as much as they can to be remembered.

Easy and intuitive ticket purchase. I was impressed by the majesty of the complex. Beautiful palace, but personally the Trianon is fantastic.

I treid to understand, how the earlier generations of humans were able to create such splended beauty - and at present we are satisfied with so little! What is meant by optional access to the gardens- a new ticit ? Could not go....

Probably the most spectacular building of all time. Just pure over the top opulence. Absolutely outstanding. 10/10 An absolute must place to see. Lovely walk to and from the train station 🚆 Lots of food options / coffee ☕️ etc

It was my 2nd visit of Versailles. Entrance was really well organized, even there were so many people ( Easter weekend ) , we came into the palace earlier our time. You can take audioguide , 5€. We spent around 3 hours inside and then walked in the garden . If it would be no rain I guess could walk some hours or take golfcar (40€/h) .

Very beautiful garden with many beautiful fountains. The chambers of the kings and queens are very impressive. A must-see.

We let ourselves be transported by French history in this sumptuous château. The Versailles garden is the most beautiful in the world. We'll be back.

The experience with the site was good, it's very intuitive, just follow the steps you can purchase your tickets and when the time comes they will tell you exactly what to do, directions, time entry, tips...

Everything was fine with the ticket and the service, they even called to make sure I didn't have any questions. I received the ticket again via WhatsApp the day before, so everything was really on the safe side. The castle itself is overrated for me, there are more beautiful places in Paris and the surrounding area. The garden is beautiful and really worth seeing and lovingly designed.

The guide was amazing so passionate so knowledgeable. Learnt a lot in such a short amount of time

Wonderful everything from the Palace of Versailles to the gardens

Seamless process and entry. Overwelming options. Good audiguides. Extra for garden train was worth it.

Very well past cebilisation de chateau

The opulent rooms in the castle and the beautiful gardens.

The highlight of my visit were the gardens

Everything, but especially the garden was really nice and fun to explore.

The gardens and the palace were amazing!!

The palace and gardens were a wonderful to see.

The Palace and Gardens were spectacular! It was very nice to get in first and no lineups. Our guide, Camille, was amazing. Very engaging and fun to listen to. She made a big difference to our enjoyment for sure too.

The tour was enjoyable, knowledgeable!

A great experience! The time is too short but overall everything was wonderful.

Everything was very good, staff, transportation, service in general met my expectation !!!!

Nothing to love, it was just a bus ride and a ticket, and the reseller provided bad information where to meet the Gray line crew that was providing the bus ride.

The directions for leaving were clear. Coming back however.... there was some confusion leaving because there were different groups getting on the same bus but nothing was explained to everyone so people thought they were going to be left behind.

It is a great place to visit, it woulb be great if we could spend 1 more hour at the palace and the gardens. The palace ita very crowded and then you just get a little time for the gardens. But overall, it was very good.

The instructions for were to go for ticket/ transport were incorrect and we had to take yet another second uber to try and make the reservation. The travel company did hold the van until we got there which we ended up being late. Please review and update your instructions for this event.

The schedule was well organized, but the tour of the castle itself was very stressful and, in our opinion, too short.

We were scheduled to leave Paris at 1100. We were about 15 minutes late in departing the meeting point. Our tickets were for 1130. We didn't get into line until 1200. It took an additional 30 minutes to get inside. That gave us less than 2 hours to tour the building and grounds. I would take the metro next time.

Beautiful experience, museum too crowded and thus experience somewhat penalized. Nothing to say about facility and reception

There was no tour guide, nobody gave us any information. We were just taken there and we were given a sticker telling us when our bus was going back. That was all. We got the audio guide ourselves

It was great that we had a guide and transport included. However, the time was not well organised and we had less than an hour for the gardens. It was not enough!

The guide Elizabeth was very good and the group was organized perfectly. Crowds cannot be controlled (too many people) but the rest was splendid.

The transportation was good. You don't have enough time on site to see everything. Unfortunately, 2 1/2 hours is not enough for the castle and gardens.

Very well organised. Alexandra was very good and good knowledge of history and place. She explained everything very well .

Amazing I should have booked the longer one, had 1 hour to go around the garden and it was very short but my mistake, book the long one it's really worth it if you like to relax and enjoy the beautiful gardens, Will go back with this company for sure

It would have been nice to receive more information about the whole process. There was no information that we could have had an audio guide, and certainly not in German Nobody actually knew where to stand on the return journey. Some passengers asked us if we knew where the bus was picking us up. Just getting a sticker for the return journey without any real information....Very unfortunate. I would not book through Headout again.

I loved the experience! The best trip of my life. It's a shame it was so short. The palace is huge and the gardens are immense. It deserves more time.

The powers itself was super super crowded he was like being on the Metro at rush hour period however we rented a golf cart got out into the gardens and have a great experience but didn't have enough time because we were stuck inside the palace for soul

It's a shame there was a delay at the start, as we didn't have time to really enjoy the garden.

Very well organized, punctual and professional staff

Our tour guide, Isabel, was incredibly professional and made our day thoroughly enjoyable

Small private group, guide very knowledgeable about history and very good explanations. We are privileged to have a self-guided tour. Very interesting and I recommend it.

As countrymen of Louis XV's wife, we are very pleased with this opportunity to see Versailles. An exceptionally interesting trip, the opportunity to meet French kings privately is a rare privilege, and the guide spoke interestingly, with a sense of humor and knowledge. We would gladly repeat this with another part of Versailles on another occasion. Thank you. Zuzanna and Waldemar de Pologne... :-)

Very interesting the guide's expertise and ability to make the modus vivendi understood and not just an aseptic explanation.

The tour guide/docent was very knowledgeable. She kept the tour moving along while giving time to take in each part of the tour. We would highly recommend this tour to there.

I didn't like: It was indicated that access to the garden was included in the tickets, but this is not the case in high season (May to October), your information should be revised. Serious and well-organized welcome

I loved everything: the organisation of the tour, the "story" of the tour, the level of knowledge and the way the history of the place was presented to us by the guide.

Excellent guided tour; the guide was very good and the route very pleasant. The self-guided tour of the château was much less enjoyable: the site is magnificent, but there are far too many people to enjoy it in peace.

Loved our guide! She was wonderful and so knowledgeable! She welcomed all our questions and had great insight Into letting us know how royalty lived!

The highlight of my visit was the grandeur of the premises, the richness and beauty of the historic building, and the impressive objects and works of art. Magnificent!

Just overcrowded , plus prices of souvenirs are too expensive. I felt I should have paid 50 euros or so but why do I got a 75 euro bill , not sure what happen at the cash register

The tour guide was great and I really enjoyed the experience of seeing the extra rooms, especially the chapel & explanations of their uses. I've always been hesitant to do these larger group tours, but actually really enjoyed it.

The tour itself was fine. However, the google maps reference in the emali took us to the wrong location on the other side of the building. Once we saw the image for the meeting point in the email and relocated, there was no reference to the fact that we could meet inside the building. Eight of the visitors were waiting outside and then were quite abruptly dealt with when one of us went inside and relised the error.

Our guide was super interesting and pleasant. A real historian. Pleasant, approachable person. However, please understand that if you take a ticket at 1:30 pm, you can't go back before that time to visit the gardens or anything else... Our only downside was that we couldn't visit the opera house because of a concert scheduled for the evening. In short, the information was of a high quality, with the minor disappointment that the tour was not complete. If you don't have a full day at Versailles, take a guided tour to avoid the crowds.

The guide was great and captivated my child. The knowledge and anecdotes were right on the mark and helped us understand the arhmosphere of the time.

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...

Our guide put her heart and soul into the tour. She used the 90 minutes as effectively as possible to show our group as much as possible. I particularly liked the fact that the children who were there were motivated to follow the tour with interest by asking lots of questions! Thank you very much for this wonderful and interesting time!

The tour we booked was great. A competent tour with a very nice guide. We were glad to have been part of a small group and to have had time to enjoy ourselves away from the general hustle and bustle. After the tour was over, we were able to explore the rest on our own. We were pushed through the rest of the rooms like cattle. That was not nice. But that's not the guide's fault. There are just too many inconsiderate visitors.

According to the description, you can walk through the gardens of the castle. However, access to the gardens was not included. We did not get admission.

Guided tour was interesting with the stories and behind the scene looks was fascinating! Very happy I chose the tour! Staff was helpful to guide me to the checkin location. Tickets were easy to access on the app, all over great experience!

Very good tour, unfortunately no admission to the gardens, although it was mentioned.

A very professional guide, a rewarding visit and a very warm welcome.

Well organized start, automatic entrance to the castle

Exclusive tour of a special place by a guide with explanations and anecdotes about history away from the crowds.

The guide very professional. The gardens a splendor to be amazed by

We were refused entry to the gardens so I consider that I paid far too much for my access!!!!

Everything went really well. The food was also good. Information about the tickets etc. was excellent. We were allowed into the castle 20 minutes beforehand. Great day at 35 degrees

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

Everything went well. We received our tickets by e-mail 2 days before entry. We only waited 15 minutes in front of the entrance. I can only recommend Hedout.

It is beautiful palace and amazing garden. I highly recommend to buy a ticket for little train which goes throw the garden, and there are a four stations. We took a boat and sailled throw the Grand Canale, visited Trianion and stayed all day in Versallis garden.

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

Reliving the moments of history. I did not like the lack of information. Going in at 3:30 pm they could have communicated that the trianon closed at 6:45 pm at least we would have gone to the trianon first and then to the gardens.

Everything worked perfectly. Tickets, admission and organization on site. We visited the Louvre in the morning and the Palace of Versailles in the afternoon. We had plenty of time. Top!

The Louvre uis a very crowded place, with it seemed to me, 250 people are per timeslot, so get there early. I never downloaded the audio guide, as I had no headphones. Otherwise the online ticket was perfect

It was perfect, I arrived at the scheduled time, I didn't even have to queue for 5 minutes, I got my ticket in advance. I entered at 10:30 and left at 16:00 and was able to enjoy the museum in peace. I recommend buying in advance!

If you like history, then it's definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed the whole experience from the gardens to the Palace itself. Would definitely recommend.

It was an amazing adventure. Versailles is magnificent and a true testament to man's need to spend as much as they can to be remembered.

Easy and intuitive ticket purchase. I was impressed by the majesty of the complex. Beautiful palace, but personally the Trianon is fantastic.

The museum is breathtaking, thank you for sharing. The history, architect, statues, artifacts, everything was fascinating.

It was my 2nd visit of Versailles. Entrance was really well organized, even there were so many people ( Easter weekend ) , we came into the palace earlier our time. You can take audioguide , 5€. We spent around 3 hours inside and then walked in the garden . If it would be no rain I guess could walk some hours or take golfcar (40€/h) .

Very beautiful garden with many beautiful fountains. The chambers of the kings and queens are very impressive. A must-see.

We let ourselves be transported by French history in this sumptuous château. The Versailles garden is the most beautiful in the world. We'll be back.

The organization of the waiting time and the detailed communication of how the visit was organized,allowed us not to have exhausting waiting times. Very detailed audio guide for important works. Only thing is the tickets arrive at the last and no one responds to emails....anxiety as a tourist

Everything was absolutely amazing except the audio part. It was too confusing. I thought my purchased ticket covered the audio, but it didn't. I downloaded the audio, not once, but twice and it didn't work. Otherwise, our trip there was Amazing!! We loved it. I saw the Mona Lisa in person! Beautiful museum!

Wonderful visit to the Louvre - nice idea to put special clothes in relation to art and decoration

The guide was amazing so passionate so knowledgeable. Learnt a lot in such a short amount of time

The size of the museum and the large number of old exhibits

The uncomplicated entry and the large number of exhibits

Seamless process and entry. Overwelming options. Good audiguides. Extra for garden train was worth it.

Had a wonderful time and lunch

Top,very nice museum and castle

A lot of history, memories and just imagining how it was all built is south of real...

Fast entry. Enough space for visitors. Beautiful gardens and music of orchestra in park.

Greatness and beauty of the palace, but it would be perfect if the various fountains had working water

On the day of the tickets there was an event so we were evicted from the gardens at 5:30 pm.

Super nice. Expensive, but worth it!

So beautiful Marie-Antoinette village!

I wish there had been more signs for the Petit Trianon. I couldn't find the grotto or the Queen's Village. What's more, it was stiflingly hot. And I was amazed to find that there were no working fountains at Versailles. And when I bought my ticket for the gardens, no one warned me that the fountains wouldn't be working.

The stuff was Super 🤩 The way all the thing smell old was so cute. I didn't like one thing, exit from the gardens of trianon is so confusing, need to walk too much, need to make it simplier, bcs tourists need full energy to explore whole Versailles.

The Trianon and the gardens were truly beautiful. We paid extra for audioguides as we had not downloaded the app. We did have to pay for the main Versailles gardens to access and walk through from the main entrance, however it would have been easier to walk around the estate and see a little more of the 'town' area of Versailles, which we did on our way back.

Picturesque grounds and easy to imagine life at court and needing the escape to the serenity of this part of the estate

Whole experience was great - from the advance ticket process to the lovely house and grounds!!

No waiting, very friendly staff and an incredible location.

Fantastic experience. We had to pay extra for the gardens, but it was worth it!

We didn't make it. Can we process a refund or reschedule the hearing?

The trip was good, but we were disappointed that there was no German or French language on offer. On the website it says multilingual. At least a French or German audio guide should be available from the English-speaking tour guide.

The palace was great. Would have liked more time inside. The gardens were beautiful but nothing in bloom and chilly day, so just sat around till time to leave after a little walk. No commentary on or back from palace. Headphone interference constantly. Wouldn't recommend this one tour but be sure to go.

Hello the experience itself was good but the return to Paris was a bit mess There were absolutely no people managing buses, no crew on the parking (5:50 pm ) and we had to check every bus ourselves asking drivers to figure out which one can take us back.

I ended up having to buy train ride tickets after the guide did not provide and the help desk girl could not resolve after an hour of waiting. Now I'm stuck trying to get a refund. Robert Greaney. Firsttee@prodigy.net

Versailles is a lovely place, but we didn't skip the lines, our "guide" took us quickly through the chateau but then discarded us to find our way to the hameau de la reine and the petit trianon which we NEVER found! Very disappointing trip.

I did not have an experience at all! I apparently went to the wrong meeting place and missed the bus!!! I found 3 potential meeting places on my ticket info. I tried to call but number was busy. Tried to send a message but would not accept. So I had to book with another company the next day. I will not recommend Headout but will tell people to book directly with the provider, NOT a broker! Do you book with 3 providers thus 3 different meeting places??? Just out the money. Excellent experience with Paris City Vision who book and provide the tour with 1 meeting place.

the ticket was somehow on the wrong date. i wasnt in paris until 3 weeks later. they werent able to change the tickets.
