Headout - be careful

Headout's customer service is quite difficult to use and customer service is difficult. I mistakenly bought a $210 for 2 tour of Monet's gardens the day and musem in Giverny the afternoon before the trip, not realizing it included a bus trip. (this is my fault). I tried to cancel but cancellation was denied. I didn't need the bus trip and merely want to join the tour in GIverny. I spent hours trying to get in touch with them. The chat is merely an incompetent AI bot so I wasted much time there. I called their US customer service line, which had me on hold for several minutes (incurring local French per-minute call costs) before being told they were outside business hours. I called again and waited but gave up after many expensive minutes. I joined the chatbot again and after several unsuccessful back-and forth's got a whats app number to call here in France. I didn't get any good resolution.

Stay away from Headout is my recommendation.

Or, ensure you know what you’re purchasing before you pay (I.e., what’s included and whether the ticket is refundable). Based on what you wrote, the company did nothing wrong.

The title should warn to be careful of all third-party sellers, read carefully what they are or aren’t offering, and don’t click buy in a hurry. Most of us have overpaid for one of these deals at some point in our lives. Just take the bus with them.

So you joined just to complain about the fact that you didn’t read what you were booking before you booked it and you’re blaming the vendor?
