    I traveled solo to Versailles only to find the parlance was sold out. I did a google search & found HeadOut. I was able to purchase a ticket for later in the afternoon. It worked out perfectly! I was able to tour the gardens, explore the quaint city & have a late lunch before meeting Abed at the stature of Louis XIV at the specified time. He was very friendly, knowledgeable & provided a wonderful snapshot of life in the palace-highly recommend!

    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!

    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.
