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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We had tickets for 12.30pm. Everything was well organized and admission began shortly after 12 noon. Despite the time slot, we had to wait about 15 minutes to get into the castle. We were amazed by the castle! Totally beautiful and huge. The garden was also breathtaking. Luckily we had comfortable shoes on because the gardens were worth the many steps! We spent the whole day there. Nice that we still got tickets.
