Planned entrance at 10 o'clock from the pyramid . We arrived at 9:40 and within 15 minutes we were inside. I got my tickets 24 hours in advance. I still recommend a guided tour given the vastness of the works to be seen.

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 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 visit itself was very good. But the access to get in!!! Despite a reservation, the queue was 300 meters long and still long. Very poor signage, the organization of the queues should be reviewed with large digitalized panels with timetables that can move with the advance of the hour...

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.

We did not have to make the big line to access to the museum, which it was very convenient because we did not have so much time, but I think it was expensive because the guide just Guide you to the monalisa and that's it.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Quite a lot of unnecessary footwork & delay to our visit, plus we had to leave my elderly mother alone while we went searching.

Beim Museumsbesuch war alles sehr gut und hat gut funktioniert. Aber ich habe offensichtlich die Tickets für den Audioguide und nicht für die Seine-Rundfahrt erhalten. Deshalb hatte ich hierfür keinen Voucher. Das Telefonat mit der Service-Mitarbeiterin war erfolglos. Sie versprach mir, die Tickets neu zuzusenden (5-10 min). Dies geschah aber nie. Auf die schriftliche Reklamation hin hat Headout aber sehr schnell reagiert und mir einen Teilbetrag rückerstattet. Das war wiederum sehr kundenfreundlich.

Our tour guide was incredible and extremely knowledgeable. He brought us to the high points and taught us so much about the history. I truly recommend doing this 2 hour tour and then you have the rest of the day to explore on your own.

We had a fabulous tour with Wendy, even with the uncertainty of an emergency evacuation right as we were to start she kept us calm, stayed with us and delivered the tour an hour later than expected. She had fantastic background information about both the artwork in the Louvre, history of the building and France in general. She was our favorite tour of the 5 tours we took across our 14 day trip!

It was a fascinating little insight into this great museum and there were only four of us, so it was very individual. Our tour guide Julian did a perfect job, informative, exciting and funny.

This was the first time at the Louvre in Paris. Our guide, Ivan, was terrific. His love of all things French, archeology, and especially his love for the Louvre was amazing. 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. I am sure he would have spent more time with us. A wonderful experience and if we get a chance to return, we will ask for him again. C

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.

The guide was wonerful. We arrived 45 minutes early so we would know where to go. The "cafe" we were directed to is closed. There were several other companies there with signs and arrows but I could not find our compay. I was even looking for the 2 p.m. tour so I would know where to go. After 2 p.m. I met two different parties from the 2 p.m. tour still looking for the meeting place. It was very annoying. Had the guide not been so good, I would have really been disappointed. Someone from the office called me and I thought they other people had found the group -- but they had not. As it turned out, one of the competing tour guides told me where to go. And by the way, I used the link in your email to direct me to the point and it said "you have arrived" and it was probably 50 yards from where the guide was.

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.

Point on a map in the application is showing wron position for the museum entrance. It shows totally different building, the hotel, located in 2 subway stops from the correct enter. Howewer, in mail position is correct. Because of this we lost 1 hour of day - just by following a map position from the app

The tour of the château was just what we'd hoped for. It would be ideal to set up a special photo line for certain key rooms. The wait before entering the château was far too long, given that it was a time-stamped ticket (ticket 11:30 a.m. entry at 12:15 p.m.).

The Palace is spectacular, the exhibitions, the informative screens that reproduce the life, the spaces and different phases of the construction in a very visual way. The gardens are very well kept, beautiful and full of autumn colors, the time we visited them. We missed the music and water show that is organized in October, we paid for the tickets just to see it. After an hour walking through the gardens, we heard the music in a fountain, but the fountain (water) was turned off. Then we saw from afar, at the back of the gardens a fountain working, but the music did not play. The central fountains and those closer to the palace were turned off.

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 😆

Huge queues with no guidance Rude and ill-mannered Palace employee to change the direction of the queue, removed the people who were in front and when we went to complain he was rude and shouted at us. No warning about where and when the fountain show would take place (we bought it and didn't see it).

I should have downloaded the audio guide before arriving at the venue. This was written in your description, but I neglected doing it, and then arrived at the venue expecting to do it, and I couldn't bc the service was bad outside the venue, and I realized I needed to research the areas I wanted to tour BEFORE I got to the venue so I could download them. The QR code and email I received with purchase said no where on it that I was going to receive a WHATSAPP message to click through to receive my actual PDF ticket. So while in line I had to call customer service and he directed me to the WhatsApp message where I downloaded the PDF (which took a LONG time since the service in the line was so bad -- likely due to the huge crowds) There didn't seem to be any benefit to skipping the line with my purchased ticket. Maybe that wasn't part of my purchase? But I had to stand with hundreds of other people who also had a 1pm scheduled visit.

The waiting time was shortened to about 30 min, so bcp more pleasant and we had more time for the visit.To do again, because the Louvre is very large and we saw only a part.

Great venue and experience. On entering Versaille there were various long queues leading to entry point A (for people with tickets). When we got to the front after 30 minutes we found the queue we were in was for the timed entry for 11am and our tickets were for 11.30. We then had to join the end of the correct long line. It would be helpful to know this before arriving

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.

Planned entrance at 10 o'clock from the pyramid . We arrived at 9:40 and within 15 minutes we were inside. I got my tickets 24 hours in advance. I still recommend a guided tour given the vastness of the works to be seen.

We got in in only 10 mins even though the line up outside was massive. Thankfully they let us in late (1h) since wile missed our exact time due to flight delays. Audio guide was great and even navigates you through the museum which is so helpful

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 crowds were overwhelming and the museum doesn't seem to be well organized as the lineup for each exhibit was so vague and people were cutting infront of us. I believe it could be better organized!

The entrance worked without any problems, but the audio guide was confusing and not well sorted, so that it could hardly be used.

It was not mentioned anywhere that the tickets for the Musée d Orsay and the Orangerie are only valid on the same day, in any case we had to buy tickets for the Orangerie again the next day. Everything else worked well

The galleries were v quiet Good cloakroom storage **What wasn't v good was the poor signage to the galleries and a lack of lifts! One needs to fit here The guides seemed to know v little and were not particularly helpful either Uninterested **

Point on a map in the application is showing wron position for the museum entrance. It shows totally different building, the hotel, located in 2 subway stops from the correct enter. Howewer, in mail position is correct. Because of this we lost 1 hour of day - just by following a map position from the app

Even if we bought skip the line tickets, we still had to wait a long line until we entered in the Louvre museum. On the contrary we entered immediately when we arrived in the Museum of Orsay. Both wonderful museums and should not be missed

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 😆

I should have downloaded the audio guide before arriving at the venue. This was written in your description, but I neglected doing it, and then arrived at the venue expecting to do it, and I couldn't bc the service was bad outside the venue, and I realized I needed to research the areas I wanted to tour BEFORE I got to the venue so I could download them. The QR code and email I received with purchase said no where on it that I was going to receive a WHATSAPP message to click through to receive my actual PDF ticket. So while in line I had to call customer service and he directed me to the WhatsApp message where I downloaded the PDF (which took a LONG time since the service in the line was so bad -- likely due to the huge crowds) There didn't seem to be any benefit to skipping the line with my purchased ticket. Maybe that wasn't part of my purchase? But I had to stand with hundreds of other people who also had a 1pm scheduled visit.

The waiting time was shortened to about 30 min, so bcp more pleasant and we had more time for the visit.To do again, because the Louvre is very large and we saw only a part. The tickets were sent by WhatsApp, it took me a while to understand the procedure, I was expecting to find them on the app directly.

Must-see 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 Wings
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 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. Be prepared for crowds, because everyone wants a selfie with her enigmatic smile. But the Denon Wing is more than just Mona. It’s packed with Renaissance masterpieces that will make your jaw drop. 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. This part of the Louvre is your ticket to the 19th century. The highlight here is the lavish apartments of Napoleon III. Trust us, you’ll be floored by the chandeliers, the gilded furniture, and the sheer decadence of it all. The Richelieu Wing also boasts a fabulous collection of sculptures. 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 definitely 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. Yep, before it was a palace and then a museum, the Louvre was a fortress. You can actually walk through the remains of this medieval structure. It's dark, mysterious, and super cool.

Got only half a day? Here's what you MUST see inside
Pressed for time but still want to soak in the Louvre's magic? Here's a speedy yet satisfying guide to the absolute must-sees in the Louvre.
Step 1: Mona Lisa
Location: Denon Wing, Room 711
Start your journey at the Denon Wing. Follow the signs (and the crowds) to Room 711 where you'll find the Mona Lisa. Spend a few moments admiring her mysterious smile.
Route: Enter the Louvre through the main entrance at the Pyramid. Once inside, head towards the Denon Wing. Follow the signs leading to the Mona Lisa, or simply follow the crowd.
Step 2: Winged Victory of Samothrace
Location: Denon Wing, Daru Staircase
After soaking in the Mona Lisa, head back towards the grand staircase where you'll be greeted by the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The statue is poised at the top of the staircase, creating a dramatic and inspiring view.
Route: From the Mona Lisa, retrace your steps back towards the entrance of the Denon Wing. The Daru Staircase is hard to miss, and the Winged Victory stands proudly at the top.
Step 3: Venus de Milo
Location: Sully Wing, Room 345
Next, make your way to the Sully Wing to see the Venus de Milo. This stunning sculpture is an iconic representation of ancient Greek beauty and grace.
Route: From the Daru Staircase, head towards the Sully Wing. Follow the signs to the ancient Greek sculpture section, and you’ll find the Venus de Milo in Room 345.
Step 4: Napoleon III Apartments
Location: Richelieu Wing, 1st Floor
For a taste of 19th-century opulence, head over to the Richelieu Wing and step into the Napoleon III Apartments. These rooms are a dazzling display of luxury with glittering chandeliers, rich tapestries, and ornate furniture.
Route: From the Sully Wing, navigate to the Richelieu Wing. Take the elevators or stairs to the 1st floor where the Napoleon III Apartments are located. Follow the signs to the apartments.
Step 5: The Coronation of Napoleon
Location: Denon Wing, Room 702
Finally, circle back to the Denon Wing to see The Coronation of Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David. This massive painting is a showstopper, depicting Napoleon’s self-coronation with intricate detail and grandiosity.
Route: From the Richelieu Wing, return to the Denon Wing. Follow the signs to Room 702, where The Coronation of Napoleon is displayed.

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.

Our guide was fantastic! He was French Jordanian and a brilliant art historian who put everything into context and did an excellent job of engaging his audience, including young adults. He also expertly conveyed the evolution of the Louvre from fortress to palace to art museum.

Our tour guide was incredible and extremely knowledgeable. He brought us to the high points and taught us so much about the history. I truly recommend doing this 2 hour tour and then you have the rest of the day to explore on your own.

highlight for me was the cruise down the river Seine. Some breath-taking views of the Eiffel Tower and the bridges of Paris made my day.
