A memorable experience among priceless works of art. I saw works that I studied in school and had never seen live, I found it all very personally engaging and emotional to the point of tears. The only negative note was standing in line for more than an hour despite the fact that I purchased a ticket that cost twice as much and guaranteed a line skip.

Der Ablauf des Einlasses und die Sicherheitskontrolle war sehr gut organisiert. Die Ausstellung ist überwältigend vor allem beeindruckt das Alter einzelner Ausstellungsstücke. Ein einzelnes Bild oder Austellungsstück hervorzuheben würde den anderen nicht gerecht werden. Natürlich ist vor der Mona Lisa zu stehen sehr emotional.

The museum was great and the audio-guide works. But the fact that I have to go to the Head out app to get my tickets was a hassle. It wasn't sent in the email, said my ticket is in the app so I needed to install the app (I have no more phone memory and poor internet data.) We were almost denied entry because I do not have an internet roaming and the ticket is in the app, unlike other ticketing online that sends pdf file on the email confirmation with my free internet. We went out of the museum to get better data coverage in order to install the app and get my tickets 😆

Louvre is an exquisite museum, and it's worth every penny, and every step visiting it. It took us about 7 hours to see art pieces of interest, and it was not quite enough. Thanks to Headout for making tickets available. And whenever you are coming, come at least 15-20 minutes prior to your booking as ques are really packed.

Timing of the ticket was perfect: it was scheduled for 13,30, I got in the line at 13,00 and at 13,30 I was already inside the pyramid of the Louvre. The museum was breathtaking, simply huge, luxurious, clean and civilised. The pieces that were exposed were the most important memories of mankind: Venus from Milo and other greek statues 2000 years old - I found it incredible to be able to see something like that!!! Personally I don't find Gioconda amazing at all , but I was totally happy to see live Caravaggio or Veronese. In the first half hour I was desperate because I couldn't understand the map - this is the only negative aspect. But later I could find the places I wanted to see, always paying attention to the room number. For such a universal wealth, 23 euro didn't seem like a high price. I only recommend to all EU citizens under 26 to not waste such an opportunity to visit Louvre for free!!!

The Museum itself, I have been to the Louvre twice before and each time it is a new excitement. Discovering new works of art that you hadn't noticed before due to lack of time I recommend, however, that you do not take the 4:30 p.m. slot then they close early, at about 6 p.m. and you are left with little time for sightseeing

I liked the Egyptian exhibition best. To shorten the time spent queuing, it's really worth using a different entrance. We went through the "Porte des Lions" entrance and were able to go through without having to wait. If we had gone through the entrance at the glass pyramid, we would have had to wait a very long time.

I had long wanted to visit the Louvre. Thanks to these tickets, we avoided the mile-long line at the main entrance. It was an experience I would do again a thousand times. Unfortunately, the museum is huge and we were not able to visit all the pavilions so as soon as I get the chance, I will definitely go back by buying tickets always on headout.

We recently visited the Louvre Museum with headout, and overall, it was a pretty awesome experience! The arrangements were smooth, and the guide did a great job explaining everything. The artefacts and paintings at the Louvre are simply mind-blowing – we were amazed at every turn. That said, there are a couple of things that could be improved. The agency should keep their contact phone available – it was hard to reach them. Inside the Louvre, we didn't get much time to spend on each painting, probably because it was crowded. We also lost track of our guide a few times and eventually couldn’t find her at all :-) Despite these hiccups, it was still a fantastic visit. The museum and its surroundings are stunning, and the history and charm of the place are just incredible. In short, even with the minor issues, I had a great time and would definitely recommend the Louvre visit through Headout– it's an amazing place to explore! Thanks, Headout!

From finding the tour group at arrival to the end, we enjoyed everything! Ana our tour guide told us what to expect when we got close to the more popular articles to see and how to get close. She gave us ample time with each. We were very please with our tour and was able to get close to what we wanted to see thanks to Ana. We had a small request to see the Liberty Leading the People that had just been restored and she made sure we saw it on our way out of the next room from seeing the Mona Lisa. All the way through to the exit Ana was great with timing and leading us.

We were actually able to avoid the huge queues. We went to the meeting point and waited about 10 minutes until all the people who had booked were there. Then we went through a back entrance directly into the museum past all the queues, even at the checkpoint there was a separate entrance. After a short verbal briefing, we went straight on past various sights and directly to Mona Lisa. Our guide did a great job of explaining everything to us and was very knowledgeable. After visiting the Mona Lisa, we were able to explore the museum ourselves. We then had a coffee on the terrace and enjoyed the fantastic view. BUT WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT THE MEETING POINT IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE ARCH, NOT TO THE LEFT AS ON THE MAP WE WERE GIVEN. BUT YOU CAN'T MISS IT.

First I had trouble finding the group at the far end corner but then it was ok. There was no explanation of anything except a tour whizzing through Louvre. From the explanation I thought we were going to get a guided tour for 45mins. Like this, it would have been better for us to buy tickets and go around ourselves.

It was easy to find the guide and everything went smoothly. We were guided right into the Louvre (and there was an enourmous line we didnt have to wait for) and directly to the Mona Lisa. It would have taken quite a while to figure out how to get there. Afterwards, she guided us through to the highlights - she explained she was not a art guide and we could get audio guides for that, but she would guide us through to the highlights. It was wonderful to be able to just follow her and enjoy the art - she moved slowly enough so we could all take in the expansive beauty but kept it moving so we could cover most of the MUST SEEs. The Louvre is spectacular - you can use an entire day there and THEN the gardens - beautiful. I kept forgetting how it would have been lovely to bring a lunch and sit in the parks and eat rather than eat at the often crowded and high priced musueum cafes. I would highly recommend this tour with head out.

Our tour guide was so nice and helpful. The group wasn't too large, though we did get started late, presumably because we were waiting on people checking in late. I didn't realize he would show us all around the Lourve (I thought it was just a drop off at the Mona Lisa) but he took us around everywhere. We didn't get any commentary on the pieces of art during the tour, but this was more than worth it to skip the line and see all that we wanted to see with limited time!

The insight he gave us regarding paintings, stories behind the art objects was outstanding. We were sorry our tour was only 2 hours, but that was because of our timeline.

Julian gave us a wonderful insight into the history of the Louvre. This put us in the right frame of mind. He went on to tell us exciting stories about history. He even let us "play along" in the stories and shared our knowledge with us. It was the best mixture of fun, a bit of adventure and learning something new. His circumspection was also pleasant. Sometimes he was a little too fast for me. Thank you Julian, it was simply a great experience to explore the Louvre with you. Sincerely Lutz & Ines

Ticketing with Headout was easy. However, the time was changed and we did not receive an email telling us of the change. Laurence, was a great guide, enthusiastic, loved and knew her art and the Louvre. We could understand her English. The headsets were painful in my ear and did not always pick up her voice. Her choice of art to show us was appropriate. I enjoyed this orientation and time independently looking at further exhibits after the tour.

We met outside the Louvre. Finding the guide was easy, the directions were clear. Sarah, our guide had a very thorough knowledge of history and she was humorous. We enjoyed her presentation. She was well prepared with printed images of things she spoke about. Special thanks to Sarah, because my 13 year old daughter, who has been learning English for 2,5 years, could follow the whole presentation. Although the two-hour guided tour is not enough to see even a fraction of the museum, we felt complete. Going in with a group was a very good decision, we did not have to stand on any queue at all.

We had a ticket with only 30 minutes waiting time and didn't have to wait at all. The visit to the Louvre was the wish of my 11 year old granddaughter who wanted to go to the Louvre and really wanted to see the Mona Lisa!

Everything worked great and smoothly! Very easy to use. Despite the crowds at the Louvre, we were inside super quickly.

I liked the Egyptian exhibition best. To shorten the time spent queuing, it's really worth using a different entrance. We went through the "Porte des Lions" entrance and were able to go through without having to wait. If we had gone through the entrance at the glass pyramid, we would have had to wait a very long time.

Overcharged and missold . Louvre was amazing but I strongly recommend to book direct on official website or pay at the gate. Do not use 3rd party's!!

The timed entry tickets allowed the ability to skip the line and with these tickets you skip massive lines. Paris is absolute chaos at Christmas / New Year.

Worried by the negative reviews I feared I had lost money and been scammed because the tickets were not arriving and it was 2 hours before the visit, through chat I managed, by insisting, to have my questions answered and receive them on time. Louvre and Seine River Cruise. The next day I booked at the Gare d'orsay and everything went smoothly.

The tickets for the Louvre Museum arrived only a few hours before. The audio guide was to be taken on site by standing in line for the ticket and a second line for pickup in all 1 hour. For the d orsay museum, access was not priority and we had to stand in a very long line. It is necessary to be clearer at the time of purchase. The audio guide usable with app is definitely incomplete the major works lack description. This was also not understandable at the time of purchase.

The Muesum is really awesome. Enjoyed every second in it. The part that is not so cool is the long waiting despite of having tickets for specific time entrance. We visited with two children and it was really freezing. We stood for almost an hour before entering, around 13:15 h. We would appreciate it if you had a special lane for parents with smaller children when visiting in winter time.

The outcome was positive BUT we were promised that the tickets would arrive in 4 hours the day BEFORE the tour. They did not. We repeatedly requested that they be sent. Finally, on the day of the tour they arrived. It was a stressful experience but it worked out. Poor communication. The chat function was useless.

I don't get the tickets until 2 hours before the scheduled time slot. It made me nervous. The Ai chat is useless. I wished it was a smoother experience. Also, there is no such thing as the skip the line at the Louvre
Hans-Peter
Aug 2024Verified booking
It was very noisy because of all the people. Allocating the time slot helps to direct the flow of people, nothing more. The argument of using time slots to avoid long queues is a marketing ploy. Sure, Mona Lisa is a magnet, all hell broke loose here, but the Collection of Classical Antiquities was also a hustle and bustle. We only found peace and quiet with the Northern European artists; Vermeer and Frans Hals were only of interest to a few. The whole ensemble is impressive.

ticket delivery service after payment was accurate and on time. Despite the many negative reviews everything went smoothly. I am not clear on the concept of "skip the line" because I received two 22 euro Louvre tickets (the same at the official online ticket office) and got in line with those tickets without any privileged access. Fortunately, the queue was quite short so I was not affected by the lack of "skip the line"

Booking was very easy and straight forward, the app is very easy to navigate too. Even though these tickets are titled skip the line, you are still asked to wait in the line for pre purchased tickets, which on the day I went was ridiculously long. If you are visiting the Louvre, try enter by the Porte des lions entrance, we didn't have to wait in the infinite queue in the underground section. Overall the Louvre and the Cruise was really good, would defo recommend

There was no quick entry ticket for the Louvre. Despite the reservation, the queue was very long. The queue is marked with green signs, not yellow as indicated in the instructions. The Seine boat trip, on the other hand, was very nice and interesting.

I loved everything about the Louvre, the art, the architecture, the space, the experience. I was disappointed though that when I arrived the Information desk told me my digital tickets were not tickets and sent me out again. After a wild goose chase we found that they were valid tickets but had to queue again to get back in. Quite a lot of unnecessary footwork & delay to our visit, plus we had to leave my elderly mother alone while we went searching.

The Mona Lisa. My wife was in a wheelchair and we were put in front of the crowd. It felt like we could almost touch her. Wheelchair access very good. Elevators to everything. I smoke and wished that there was a cafe in the central garden where I could go.

A memorable experience among priceless works of art. I saw works that I studied in school and had never seen live, I found it all very personally engaging and emotional to the point of tears. The only negative note was standing in line for more than an hour despite the fact that I purchased a ticket that cost twice as much and guaranteed a line skip.

The museum was great and the audio-guide works. But the fact that I have to go to the Head out app to get my tickets was a hassle. It wasn't sent in the email, said my ticket is in the app so I needed to install the app (I have no more phone memory and poor internet data.) We were almost denied entry because I do not have an internet roaming and the ticket is in the app, unlike other ticketing online that sends pdf file on the email confirmation with my free internet. We went out of the museum to get better data coverage in order to install the app and get my tickets 😆

Il posto è stupendo, vale sempre la pena di tornare (per me è la seconda volta). Molto bello il palazzo, le stanze, i dipinti, gli arredi e bellissimo l'immenso giardino. Ho apprezzato il consiglio di acquistare l'ingresso al mattino nel primo orario, siamo entrati alle 9.30 senza fare code, quando siamo usciti alle 13.30 invece la coda di persone in attesa di entrare era lunghissima e sotto il sole cocente non sarebbe stato piacevole.

All displays s were great but Disappointed with the display for the Mona Lisa. Definitely needs a better system. We had at least 20 rows in front of us and they were not moving so that was a waste of time. Also inadequate signage to where it actualy was instead we had to keep asking at least 4 staff members and finally got there to have this large crowd who were Not moving. Was very disappointing and alit of others also felt this way.

The Palace of Versailles is a simply marvelous place, an indescribable cultural immersion. Its opulent halls, with their extremely delicate details, take you back in time. The gardens are a spectacle in themselves, contemplation to the sound of birds and music that enchants and sharpens our senses.

I really enjoyed the walk with the guide, love all the history and commentary. Our guide was great. The museum was a little disappointing, nothing to do with your company. It was so hot and getting to see the Mona Lisa was ridiculous. So tired of selfies. Just want to enjoy the art. This happens at all the museums. It makes it really awful. I was worried I would get trampled. The museum staff did their best, but it was like a frenzy. Waited an hour to get in and barely got to see some things for more than a few seconds before the selfies would block the art. There needs to be something done.

The guide was great at getting us into the museum. A little stress finding the guide. they were not holding a sign with the name of the tour guide company and also there is renovation of the monument and the company was hidden behind the big scaffolding, not in the location of the pin. Photo shows the scaffolding and we found them by doing a lap of the scaffolding. But once we got through that it was all sorted and into the museum straight to the Mona Lisa. We booked the 1015 and it was nice to be in before it got really busy. That got us to the Mona Lisa for 11:00 and we then had the rest of the time free.

Explore at the Louvre
The Louvre Palace
The Louvre Palace is an impressive structure with its classic Renaissance architecture and large, open courtyards. This epic building, dating back to the 12th century, started out as a fortress built by King Philip II. Fast forward a bit, and it transformed into a magnificent castle between 1364 and 1380. After the French Revolution, it became the world-renowned Louvre Museum we know today.
New to the Louvre? Here's a quick explainer of the layout
So, it's your first time here and you're feeling a bit like a kid in a candy store—where do you even start? Let’s break it down for you. The Louvre is divided into three main wings: Denon, Richelieu, and Sully. Each wing is spread across different levels and has its own vibe and treasures.
Denon Wing
The Denon Wing is like the main stage at Coachella, and the Mona Lisa is the headliner. When you step into this wing, head straight to Room 711 to see Leonardo da Vinci's most famous lady. Look out for The Wedding at Cana by Veronese (a stunning 70 square meter grand banquet scene), which is literally the largest painting in the Louvre. It's so big, you'll feel like you're part of the banquet! Don't miss Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix either.
Richelieu Wing
Feeling fancy? Then head over to the Richelieu Wing. The highlight here is the lavish apartments of Napoleon III. You’ll be floored by the chandeliers, the gilded furniture, and the sheer decadence of it all. Don't miss the statue of Marly Horses; they’re dramatic, dynamic, and absolutely Insta-worthy. And if you're into history, the collection of Near Eastern antiquities will transport you back to the days of ancient empires.
Sully Wing
Last but not least, the Sully Wing is your gateway to ancient civilizations. Start your adventure by exploring the Egyptian Antiquities section. Here, you'll find mummies, sphinxes, and all sorts of treasures that will make you feel like Indiana Jones. The Sully Wing also houses the medieval foundations of the Louvre. You can walk through the remains of this medieval structure. It's dark, mysterious, and super cool.
Here is an in-depth guide to the different levels at the Louvre Museum and the artworks you can see in each wing.

Wonderful museum, but difficult to navigate. They are open late on weekdays, so go at night to avoid the crazy crowds around the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.
