The staff were great helping when needed. Being able to sit and listen to the history was excellent. I could get on and off when I chose, this was very helpful as I have a bit of trouble walking a long way. I bought a two day pass this gave me the perfect amount of energy and sitting to be able to get off at many of the stops.

We were on a tour that included a tour of the city by bus and a boat ride on the Seine. The bus tour has very well organized stops, the explanations are clear and it covers the main sights of the city quite well. The boat tour is interesting, with a nice guide in several languages.

The bus was really easy to get on and off, the route went past all the main attractions, buses were frequent and the commentary was really interesting. The best part was the river cruise - mainly due to the beautiful weather on the day of our tour!

    Excellent hostess, Manuela, really made the experience a memorable on for us all. Although the tower was very busy she helped guide us through effortlessly and made the experience very interesting for us all.

    The person that greeted us was friendly and warm and our guide was very informative. We went to the Eiffel Tower in the evening time and the crowds were no issue whatsoever. I would highly recommend Headout.
