Paris for history geeks

Amazing display of French history, overwhelming number of objects de art and the décoré of the times was truly opulent.

Purchasing the tickets was very easy. Definitely will continue ordering from Headout for all my vacation trips. We had a great time and the reviews posted were very accurate. Thanks again Headout!

First visit to the Eiffel Tower, only snag: when I booked, I didn't see the group I was going to do it with. So I ended up with a group that had English in common. I didn't learn English for a long time. Our guide, Martin, nevertheless gave us a few explanations in French. We thanked him. The Tower and the view are exceptional. A must-see!

I loved how light the crowd was! I loved the beauty of the ponds and paths and garden and the house. We wish we could have stayed for days! My mother was a landscape designer with a specialty in aquatic gardens and so it made me feel closer to her memory. And the weather could not have been better. I also loved how undeveloped the land was around Giverny - that you could look out to a pasture with cows and a stream. A truly unspoiled place. It was such a welcome respite (and delightful train ride) from the sweaty, bustling, expense of Paris! I had longed to see Giverny ever since taking an Art History class in college and also selling many copies of the book Linnea in Monet's Garden when I worked in a bookstore in Venice, CA (as well as introducing it to children in my children's school library). Monet's House and Garden at Giverny was one of the best things my daughter, Anna (20), and I did during this too-brief 2 week trip to Europe from Malibu, CA. Thank you for your amazing stewardship of this historic place of artistic inspiration.

Fabulous museum with a lot of military history including French military history during the two world wars. The building was worth seeing as well as Napoleon's tomb. Buying tickets from Headout allowed us to skip the very long line of people wanting to buy entrance tickets.

It was a real tremendous breathtaking experience being all the way up which I've never been an experience I'll never ever forget

Great welcome. The cruise on the Seine was excellent and so was the visit to the Musée de Grévin (with a nod to the statue of Aya Nakamura, which was really very realistic).

The museum and gardens are beautiful. It is, however, very hot inside and also, interested visitors should do well to read up on Rodin and his works beforehand.
