The guide was great - David, and chatted to us all during the endless queuing. I loved the views and the ease of transport once we arrived in the tower. My husband hates crowds so it was very difficult for him to there doesn't seem to be an option for those with neurodivergence.

We didn't really have to queue up, and went straight in, following the directions given by the staff, after presenting our ticket. The characters are, for the most part, very well done. I'd have liked to see a little more of how they're made. The little kisoque for this purpose is really too succinct and not explicit enough, to see how the molding is done on the living subject for example?

Great experience! There are a lot of steps down and back up (spiral staircase)! Learned quite a bit about why Paris has the catacombs and how long they have been there.

It is an amazing sensation to enter the palace, as if you travel back in time and find yourself in the midst of historical events. We spent more than two hours in the palace without noticing how the time flew by. And the garden, shocked by its beauty and majesty....

we went on a Friday night while there were a lot of people there you could still see everything your wanted. you really need to devote 3 hours minimum but know that you need to prioritize--you will not be able to see everything. This is an amazing museum and a must visit if you are in Paris.

It was great to find a tour that included two key sites in one day trip. Many available are one or the other and when you are travelling you often have limited time so finding a way to put them both together definitely was a highlight. Both tours were run by different tour guides, and the tour at the palace of Versailles was run by such an expert in the field it was fantastic to have someone so passionate showing us around. Tips for anyone taking this tour: - if you want to save money you can bring a packed lunch pretty easily as there is no designated meal time. That's at your own discretion - it starts early and we don't stop for your own time until midday so definitely eat breakfast beforehand or bring snacks - Monets house was packed so do that first before you even look at the gardens otherwise you may miss out - bring a hat if it is spring or summer especially - there is water available to purchase but bring your own - the location they drop you off afterwards is different to pickup and they didn't give us that location. It made it a little harder for us to return to our hotel after as it was further away and we didn't know. Not a deal breaker but don't plan anything afterwards to give you extra time to travel at the end

We love the Centre Pompidou! This unique and special building has a great atmosphere and always offers the most beautiful views of Paris. The current exhibitions are very well presented. It was great to see so many paintings by Suzanne Valadon! There is also a lot of information about the artist and her time in Paris. Many thanks to everyone who made this wonderful visit possible!

This was a really interesting piece of history, basically beneath Notre Dame. I was really happy to see that it has been preserved and is available for people to see. It's an easy tour and you can take as much time as you need.

My experience with Headout was all good except one thing. We were struggling to find the meeting point and they were trying to contact me via WhatsApp, without any prior notice that they would use WhatsApp or any previous comms on it. I was monitoring SMS and tried unsuccessfully to use the phone number provided in the email to contact them to say we were in the area. The phone system is layers of menus and then cut me off before answering. We missed our tour but fortunately were able to get on the next. My advice to other travellers is to allow 45mins ahead of the departure time and view contact on WhatsApp, email and SMS if you think you may be late. The meet and greet staff and the guide were excellent.

It was a great way to see and learn about Ile del la cite. Caroline, our guide was knowledgeable and fun. My only fault was upon arrival Carole said this tour did not include entry tickets to the Conciergerie. So we were unable to enter even though the name of tour says it is included. Carole was confused about this as well. Other wise, very good.

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.
