The guide was top notch! Very clear and professional! We really liked the way he told the story of the château. The château is magnificent, and the Sun King had great taste...certainly out of the ordinary...but what can you say! A great, great experience!

Our guide Paula was perfect. Knowledge & humour made for a perfect tour. To do the palace guided and garden solo , proper ticket on hand, was perfect as well.

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.
