The Louvre is really a museum to do in your life, plan the whole day because it is very very large, ideally you need several days. On the other hand, the information given by the headout site to enter the museum is erroneous, There's no need to go and find the hostess near the triumphal arch of the carrousel, we went from group to group until finally a guide told us that we could go directly to the museum in the basement to receive the audio guides 🙄. Enjoy your visit

We didn't have to wait very long, thanks to the tickets purchased in advance via the app. Definitely worth a try! The riverboat ride was really nice too, and we really appreciated the Eiffel Tower!

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

We were very excited and impressed! Only 30 minutes waiting time thanks to tickets with time! You shouldn't try to do everything, you can't do it in one day! We would start directly with the "Denon" grand piano! The Italian artists are much better! But also make sure you see the European/French wing! There is Napoleon's apartment and very splendid halls!

It is the most interesting museum, and with the audio guide you are immersed in the history of the paintings, it would just need to be better organized for the viewing of the Mona Lisa, to give everyone a way to be able to see it from the front... All in all, a very good experience.

The Art is the reason to come to Paris from 7500 miles away, it is the investment made by this city over hundreds of years ago that pays off year after year as people continue continue to come to make a pilgrimage as we did on our 40th wedding anniversary. Sadly this is a once in a lifetime trip for us. We took as much as we could take in in the few days we could afford. It was terrific. A professor of mine came to do special research here after he retired. Linda and I got married a couple of years before he came to work at the Louvre. Victor Chan was a great professor at the University of Alberta with a personal collection of drawings worthy of the Louvre.

We also managed to get in a few minutes earlier than the time stipulated in the reservation, and this allowed us to cope better with the queue at the security checkpoints. The museum is really big and rich, although some rooms were closed for new installations. The visit lasted for more than 5 hours, which literally flew by between pavilions. I recommend visiting the museum in the morning when it is open, so as to avoid as much as possible the huge mass of people arriving throughout the day. The beauties admired were a balm to the eyes and a caress to the soul.

Great Experience – Even at 11 PM! We booked our Eiffel Tower visit for 11 PM because no earlier times were available — but in the end, we were glad! There were hardly any people, and we got through security and up the elevator very quickly. The night view over Paris was absolutely breathtaking. If we visit again, we definitely want to go all the way up to the third floor!

The Louvre has no equal. I had never been. We were on a pass through journey to Paris. The Reserved Access Tickets afforded us the opportunity that touched every note, getting us in efficiently on a very hot and crowded day. Guidance to and through THE most powerful exhibits in the world and an effectivie strategy for "our trip" of a life time.

The visit to the museum was optimal, right from the (priority) entrance, it allowed us to skip the endless line that had already been created (I recommend visiting the museum in the early hours of the morning), also our guide, prepared, friendly and helpful during his exposition. The museum needs no comment.

Professional guided tour with detailed explanations and background information. Including the building (Louvre), Greek antiquity and gods, painting techniques and, of course, da Vinci. Art historical contexts were pointed out. The only thing to complain about was the organization: the meeting point was easy to find, but it was a bit cramped on the sidewalk in front of the store. And then the Louvre is very well visited (the Monna up close? Forget it) and it is therefore often noisy, but that is not at the discretion of the organizer.

My guide and tour were awesome. I suggest a better way to find the right tour once you arrive at the Carousel area. The flag, "Walks" had nothing to do with Get Your Guide. Nor was it on the last email. Even saying the sign (flag) will be green would have been very helpful. My guide, Ra... (from Italy) went above and beyond in helpfulness to those like me who had luggage to store. She showed knowledge and passion of her subject.

Mouse Louvre visit and Bateaux Moches wonderful! Although tickets for the date we chose were sold out on the museum's official website, we found a super package on Ticket Paris through Headout; visit to the Louvre Museum + cruise on the Seine with Bateaux Mouches. We started with the Louvre Museum; the amount of people queuing for entry was truly unimaginable, but thanks to our scheduled tickets with date and time, the queue in a few minutes was exhausted and we were able to make entry at the museum. Everything was organized perfectly. Immediately after our visit to the museum, we went to the point from which our cruise on the Seine would shortly depart; the convenience that a boat departs every half hour allowed us to better organize our connections. Arriving at the boat, in a few minutes, showing the ticket via app on our smartphone, we got on--and immediately ready to depart on the cruise. A 1-hour tour, in which we saw what most characterizes Paris. Everything was perfect, despite the fact that we were not familiar with the site and the app! The tickets arrived in the inbox the night before our visit, and with the convenience of having them directly on the app even without the use of an Internet connection. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Our tour guide Titouan was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, calm and super friendly. Even with the little obstacles we faced where some parts of the museum was closed, he kept us engaged till those parts were opened. We had such a good time really. The tour group was easy to locate at the meeting point and we were on time. The tour managers were even willing to wait for a little more time for thr last member of our party. Such wonderful people.

Our guide, Ana, was very professional and we especially appreciated her directing us to the wonderful fashion exhibit! However, the experience getting into the Louvre and making our way through overcrowded halls to reach the complete chaos of the crowd in front of the Mona Lisa was awful. That's not the guide's issue -- but the museum's. Not surprised the staff went on strike -- we sympathize!

I thought that we would have a separate 'line' to view the Mona Lisa. Instead we were pushed and shoved into the 'pit' of people in a hot room. This was not pleasant.

Everything worked out great and the meeting point was also well explained and easy to reach right in front of the Louvre! The tour itself was also super sufficient, in a brisk walk through all the important areas and also to the Monalisa, enough time to take a few photos! For someone who doesn't need a detailed explanation of every exhibit, this tour is great!

The Louvre is wonderful, packed with the most amazing collection of paintings, sculptures, artefacts etc but it is VERY difficult navigating your way around. The signage and the floor plan are hopelessly inadequate and there seem to be too few people around to ask for your help. It's a shame to visit a fantastic place like that and end up wasting time and becoming frustrated by not being able to find your way to where you want to be.

The visit was definitely worthwhile. The museum is very spacious. The time slot from 19 h - 21 h is too short. Very long queues in front of the museum despite having a ticket. We only got in at around 19:25. This meant you could only see the highlights in the museum, which was a shame.

Paris is without a doubt a wonderful city. From Montmarte, with its artistic alleys, to the Louvre Museum, to the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, every corner smells of art. Even the Orsay Museum located in the train station with paintings by Van Gogh, Renoir, the glass roof and its precious clock, an iconic symbol of French art, are part of this spectacular city . Skipping the queue and entering at the chosen time embellished the visit.

The fast track tickets were wonderful to have! The Orsay was so very crowded that without them we would have been in line for hours. We chose not to use the audio guide we purchased. Again crowd size limited our ability to stop, look and listen. In the future I will book sooner and get a tour guide. Thanks to head out- the only one to get us last minute tickets into the Orsay !

Admission went perfectly. Ticket for 12:30 - inside the Louvre at 12:32. Whether this was due to the head out - I don't know - I think we would have got in with any other ticket. We had already joined the queue at 11:30 and were therefore right at the front of the line. TIP: Be there 1 hour in advance - then you'll be inside quickly at the specified time - the stewards will make sure of that outside. AND: You first have to show and scan your ticket when you are inside and want to go to one of the halls - not at the entrance, where only the bags are checked (scanner like at the airport) and not down in the hall under the pyramid roof. The better entrance is at the pyramid - not at the Caroussell - it's full everywhere - but it's much better at the pyramid ... Getting out of the Louve is more difficult than getting in - we got lost several times despite flyers and signs - finally found the Caroussell exit where there is a shopping mile. As the mall is already full anyway and then the long queues to get into the Louvre - unbelievable and bad. Outside at the pyramid it is very well organized. But you need at least 3 hours to see a small part of it. It's best to go in twice on different days to see everything. Everyone just wants to see the Mona Lisa anyway - further through the Egyptian finds, total emptiness ...

Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Summit Tour – Thanks to Joanna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding our guide was easy, and from the very beginning, Joanna stood out with her professionalism. She gave us a clear safety briefing and set expectations early on—there was no skip-the-line access, and we might have to wait. And we did—almost two hours! But honestly, it didn’t feel that long at all because Joanna kept us thoroughly engaged. With her arsenal of fun facts, quirky trivia, and rich history of the Eiffel Tower, she turned what could’ve been a frustrating wait into an educational and entertaining part of the experience. Her energy, knowledge, and customer service were second to none—hands down the best I’ve encountered during my entire trip in Paris. Joanna didn’t just guide us to the top—she elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!

I am happy with this experience because it was one of my wife's birthday presents-she was really happy and that's what counts! Unfortunately, however, I must observe that the one and a half hour wait to go up the tower was really too long and inexplicable! Especially since having already bought tickets we should have had priority. Luckily we had a very nice and very good guide Mademoiselle LIZ who entertained us by telling us the history of Eiffel, many funny stories and many anecdotes that made the wait less heavy.

The Louvre is really a museum to do in your life, plan the whole day because it is very very large, ideally you need several days. On the other hand, the information given by the headout site to enter the museum is erroneous, There's no need to go and find the hostess near the triumphal arch of the carrousel, we went from group to group until finally a guide told us that we could go directly to the museum in the basement to receive the audio guides 🙄. Enjoy your visit

We also managed to get in a few minutes earlier than the time stipulated in the reservation, and this allowed us to cope better with the queue at the security checkpoints. The museum is really big and rich, although some rooms were closed for new installations. The visit lasted for more than 5 hours, which literally flew by between pavilions. I recommend visiting the museum in the morning when it is open, so as to avoid as much as possible the huge mass of people arriving throughout the day. The beauties admired were a balm to the eyes and a caress to the soul.

We were very excited and impressed! Only 30 minutes waiting time thanks to tickets with time! You shouldn't try to do everything, you can't do it in one day! We would start directly with the "Denon" grand piano! The Italian artists are much better! But also make sure you see the European/French wing! There is Napoleon's apartment and very splendid halls!

The evening visit was more convenient for us, as I also had children with me. The Louvre was a huge place and an incredibly beautiful building. There were so many really cool paintings and other art objects. Even the ceilings of the building were very artistic!

Top things to do in Paris

Know before you book your Louvre Museum tickets 

  • Tickets to the Louvre Museum are timed, meaning you must choose a specific time slot for your visit. This ticket grants you entry to the museum within 30 minutes of your chosen slot and gives you access to the entire museum, including the temporary exhibits.
  • The Louvre sees a footfall of more than 9 million visitors yearly and most of them are here to see the famous Mona Lisa. If you are one among them, choose the hosted access ticket to the Mona Lisa to avoid the long lines and for an up-front view of the painting.
  • There are over 35,000 works of art displayed at the Louvre and it would take at least 45 days to cover them all! To cover the main artworks of the museum, consider a guided tour that not only highlights the key masterpieces but also offers insights into the museum's extensive history, perfect for first-time visitors.
  • On the other hand, if you wish to explore the museum at your own pace and cover the artworks of your interest, opt for an audio guided tour.
  • For an extended evening visit, the Louvre is open late on Wednesdays and Fridays until 9pm. Visiting the Louvre at night offers a magical and less crowded experience, allowing you to admire masterpieces like the Mona Lisa in a more intimate setting. The museum's stunning architecture, including the illuminated glass pyramid, creates a breathtaking atmosphere.

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.

The Pyramid

The Louvre Pyramid, with its sleek glass design, stands in striking contrast to the historic palace that surrounds it. Designed by architect I. M. Pei, this modern structure, standing 70 feet tall, serves as the main entrance to the museum, flooding the space below with natural light. It has over 670 glass pieces, and apart from being such an iconic structure, is also the main entrance to the Louvre. In addition to the main glass pyramid, there are three smaller pyramids surrounding it, which enhance the visual symmetry of the courtyard. Snap that perfect selfie here!
