I enjoyed walking around the area and learning about the various structures. I was surprised we were handed a piece of paper with the audio instructions and that wasn't provided in an email. I do not have that piece of paper so missed that part of the tour as promised. The guide was very knowledgeable and took us to some interesting places around Notre Dame. He provided a brief description of Notre Dame which was helpful. I just wish I had the audio guide instructions as I would still like to listen and I did pay for that. Thank you!
Short history hearing was interesting and flower market was very beautiful. At the venue was traffic so noisy and the tour guide spoke so quietly, so half of the information went missing. I thought, that the tour ticket also includes skip-the-line tickets, but not.
The person who accompanied us was very interesting, with lots of anecdotes to tell § OR his kindness and benevolence, he was passionate.

No one was present at the meeting point, so I was unable to make the visit; I would ask you to make a commercial gesture and refund the activity. Thank you

The meeting area was not where the guide was. Thank goodness he got ahold of me and as it was too late for us to meet him for the walking tour he sent our tickets to get into notra DamnI feel I should be compensated somewhat as I missed the walking part due to being sent the wrong meeting point instructions
There are A LOT of groups meeting by the statue, and it was hard to find the guide - I mentioned 'Headout' but guide didn't recognize it, fortunately we did figure it out with names. For the exterior discussion, it lasted about 10min and then the guide walked us to the group entry, and we went in. It all happened quite quickly, and was very underwhelming from what was advertised. The guide was very nice, though. The 'skip the line' for 12.45 on a Wed, didn't save us much time, as the main entry line didn't seem to be too long. Prior to all of this, I had a waiting period of several hours to know whether or not the event was actually booked, due to some technical error? Overall, a very poor experience. Please reach me to respond back with some compensation: anna@annacoles.com
This is a scam, I paid for nothing for 2 tickets, I ask to be refunded, the visit is free, I did not need to pay for it .....

This tour does not exist. We were met by the guide shortly AFTER the start time not 15 minutes before as we were requested. Then we were told there was no guided tour of the outside of Notre Dam and all we had was access to the catherdral, which is free to everyone! Accordingly this was a non-existant tour, wer are expecting Headout to refund the money immediately.
- booked tour did not take place - the (fast!!!) entry took place with a delay - Guide had no idea and could not reach anyone - no answer to complaint mail - paid 60€ for NOTHING

Even though the entrance is normally free, paying a small fee to avoid the very long queue (> 1hr) was worth it. The audio guide was informative but needs to be downloaded in advance as the reception inside Notre Dame is not good. Beautiful cathedral!
Everything was easy. No problem with the audio guide and immediate admission to the ND (only 3 people in front of us - a very long queue outside)

Ticketing and follow up was superb. Pepe even called us to check that we would be on time. We were late. He is a historian, a story teller, and a poet. Oh, very funny. Superb guide. Been to Paris 20 times and he taught us a lot that we never knew about Ile de la Cite. Just superb.
Logging in was difficult, had also printed out and this was not accepted! It was very busy. Too bad, because it's worth it: beautiful, fabulous renovation

The original tour was canceled. This was pending until a notice just a few hours before the actual tour even though it said I'd get in 60 minutes for days. It wasn't clear that we needed to download the audio tour before hand
Our guide outside was very good. Natalie did a great job. I thought the tour was to include more inside, water, etc. also othered I. Our tour were thinking the same. You called to change the time but did not follow up with the information you referred to in my phone call and text. It was a beautiful place to see.
Seeing the restoration of the Cathedral was wonderful, and having a reserved time slot made it much easier for us to plan the rest of our time in Paris.
I booked an English guided tour 10.30 - 12.30. The ticket didn't allow skip the line entry until 13.30. My guide was in German, not English as ordered. The guide concentrated almost exclusively on the chapels which was interesting but only a fraction of the information one might have been able to learn about the cathedral as a whole.
Nothing!!! A complete disaster and then the entrance scheduled 1:15 pm changed in the ticket 2:30 pm!!!!!!! The missing guidebook. It could not be found. Directions in the app. Completely sconglussionate! Same experience yesterday with the museum visit. I WILL NEVER USE YOUR SERVICES AGAIN.

A big plus is avoiding the long queue. Easy to book and get fast access to the museum. Beautiful inside and outside Enjoyed visiting the museum
The tour was great and competent, informative and entertaining. We were told the wrong time the day before. 3:00 pm instead of 4:00 pm. It was also not taken into account that Notre Dane closes earlier in the evening. We could no longer get in. This should have been known in advance and we should have been informed. Then I would have booked a separate time slot. The group was very annoyed about this.

We entered the cathedral, but there were too many people both inside and outside. We didn't use the audioguide.

I really enjoyed Tina's tour! It was especially great and informative since is an art historian as well as understanding the French political history. It was so comprehensive. It was particularly helpful to understand more of the arrangements and meanings in the Sacre Couer windows. All around great cultural tour! Don’t miss it!
The tour guide Pepe, really had a vast knowledge of Paris and its history and I loved learning about things that I didn't know about.
Learned about the history of Notre Dame. Best thing was it included admission to the Cathedral that fitted our time constraints.
We absolutely loved our guide he was knowledgeable on the topics he shared with us during the tour and the one of the reasons I starred awesome, but it was not the tour I signed up for which was access to Notre Dame with a guided tour plus optional locations. What we received was the optional locations which were very interesting and we truly enjoyed, but then the tour ended with us standing at the Notre Dame plaza with no history of the cathedral provided. Your advertising of this particular tour is misleading as shown by your email which states the name of the tour as "Notre-Dame Cathedral & Optional Île de la Cité Guided Tour". You should change the name of this tour.
Our Guid Bruno was knowledgeble and engaging. In addition we inadvertently came for the tour a day early and Headout was able to accomodate us a day early.
There was no audio guide and it was frequently difficult to hear/understand the guide - especially when the group was moving between points of interest. This was a common view among the nine people who I know personally and who took the tour at different times during last weekend.
Really great tour. Guide Renato was very knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun! I would definitely book again and also request the same tour guide! Best Evelyn.
I misunderstood your description and thought this included skipping the lines to get into Notre Dame. What I am VERY DISSATISFIED about was our tickets to the Louvre. Our tickets were not honored there and there was a sign indicating Headout, along with several other vendors tickets were not honored. We had to purchase admission tickets there!!!
If you can't get the free tickets on line, this is an economical alternative, and these are reserved tickets. We were there on a Monday, and the reserve line was just a few minutes while the general admission line looked like it would take a very long time to get in. The outdoor guided narrative was helpful.
It was unnecessary expense. Visitors without advance reservations were being let in albeit a longer line. Your notes should say, "look for the orange visitors with reservation line to the right side of the front of cathedral

The explanations are too quick, and there's no indication of which way to turn in the church according to what's being said. Apart from left or right, it's really not clear. There should be short interruptions to enable visitors to fully understand what they're looking at, and to stop for a few moments to appreciate what they're looking at.

We booked and paid through your company, and we were unable to use the ticket. This is not acceptable, and I know you will want to make it right by refunding the payment to our card, as the services were not rendered. Thanks!

We went to the Notre Dane experience with 4 children aged 8 to 16. It was too long for the youngest child as there is no guided tour in German. Everyone else was thrilled. I myself had to take my glasses off several times because I was getting dizzy. The tour provides historical background in a very youth-friendly way.

Unique experience - not to be missed and good value
We were told by staff outside Notre Dame that all bookings had been cancelled due to the Pope passing away. We were not informed of this and would not find anyone from the Heading Out team. I have emailed about a refund and not heard back. A very expensive experience for 3 people when we got nothing!
Never found anyone from your organization.

I know it was an archeological tour. It was very interesting but then a little boring. I guess I was expecting relucs from Notre Dame also
I thought it was Notre Dame crypt it is NOT clear it was roman remains. It was too dark and not good enough to see everything. The shop is not accessible when you leave.
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.
We had been to Paris several times before but this was really a winner. We went mainly for Notre Dame. Well we thoroughly enjoyed that. The crypt was a highlight so cleverly exposed. Also the new cathedral was very nice weather to see the cathedral in its full glory. We enjoyed

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.
Guide explained things well but she walked so fast she kept losing half her people. She had another engagement so left us alone at Chappelle. So the tour was cut by 1/2 an hour. So she was explanatory but too fast walking and left us at Chapelle after we got inside. No trouble getting in front of line.
Had such a great experience with this walking tour. The guide was amazing and we learned a ton about the history of the city. Highly recommend!
Tour guide was helpful and knowledgeable. San Chapelle stained glass was awesome.

I had trouble with my ticket. I didn't get any confirmation & instructions in my email where to meet or how to get the tickets. So me & my friend went directly to the site & they told us in the museum our tickets are not valid. We tried to call the number in the website that is not even working! That is such a waste of tume & disappointment.
There was no audio guide I was in the very back and could not hear her most of the time. She walked to fast and never stopped for us to take pictures. If we stopped she kept going without a part of her group. She was 20 minutes or more late to the meeting place. Would not book again.
Request for refund already in progress. Horrible experience.
Carol was an excellent tour guide. She was a good storyteller, explaining the history of Paris. She was also very kind--it started to rain heavily near the start time for our tour, and she waited for us while we dashed across the bridge to a souvenir shop to buy umbrellas.
wonderful experience, saw wonderful places. Very knowledgeable and nice guide, made us discover many interesting things. Thank you
