The team were well organised. An initial point of contact before being split to our respective guide. We were allocated Bo, who was absolutely brilliant. She talked us through the whole entry process ahead of the actual tour. Once inside, she gave an informative and well delivered monologue - whilst guiding us to quieter spots in rooms and finding areas where it was a little cooler (majorly hot day). At the end of the she took time to answer questions and verify the information about access to the gardens and grounds. Thank you Bo...we wish that we could have had your knowledge, expertise and company as we visisted the other areas of the Chateau

The meeting spot was very easy to find and the guide was very attentive. I've heard that there is a lot of tourist exhaustion from the local workers because the crowds are massive, which was the case today as well. So, moving through the chateau it was very crowded and there at times were shouting from the chateau staff at our guide to continue moving. The guide was very nice but she at times seemed to be somewhat tourist fatigued as well. The gardens were the impressive part because it never seemed over crowded because it was easy to fit a zillion tourists on the 2000 acre property. If only the Louvre were 2000 acres:).

The HEADOUT staff were right on time (although I'd noticed a lot of negative comments about Headout's services). Paola, our PARIS TRIP guide, was friendly and made the visit informative and enjoyable. All in all, a positive visit. The only downside was that we had to walk back from the Petit Trianon. We hadn't been told when we left on the little train that the site was closing exceptionally early that day.

    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.

    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!
