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 ...

Everything went well. We received our tickets by e-mail 2 days before entry. We only waited 15 minutes in front of the entrance. I can only recommend Hedout.

It was an unforgettable experience, I had no personal guide, but the devices we rented were not easy and stressed us out, but anyway we enjoyed a lot we spent three hours, all beautiful and exhausting, this is my second visit, I need more visits to the majestic Louvre museum!

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.
Extraordinary 🥰I came with my mother to show him the beauty of the Louvre, we both stood there with our mouths open 🤩

I was amazed by the fantastic ceiling paintings and designs. When everyone gathered in front of the paintings, just look up.

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.

Everything worked perfectly. Tickets, admission and organization on site. We visited the Louvre in the morning and the Palace of Versailles in the afternoon. We had plenty of time. Top!

The Louvre uis a very crowded place, with it seemed to me, 250 people are per timeslot, so get there early. I never downloaded the audio guide, as I had no headphones. Otherwise the online ticket was perfect
Beautiful setting, palace, chambers. halls and exhibits. Beautiful nature and garden. I felt like a nobleman. Versailles breathes history.

For me at 75 years of age it was unforgettable! History and beauty rolled into one. Each step was a treat to the senses with moments smiles and wonder. It was breathtaking to put it in a word. Let me not forget the Mona Lisa. Enjoy 😍
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!
It was perfect, I arrived at the scheduled time, I didn't even have to queue for 5 minutes, I got my ticket in advance. I entered at 10:30 and left at 16:00 and was able to enjoy the museum in peace. I recommend buying in advance!

The guide and the exhibition ooook... Little loss of time to get in with group ticket skip line.... A few areas of the exhibition a bit claustrophobic due to too many people in the same place at the same time in transit. Day ..as pictured ideal weather... Super positive experience...

The incredible grandour of the entire museum, friends were not kidding that would take several days to see most of it. Was able to book multiple attractions using headout and was phenomenal, would have been entirely different if not for them.
We visited the Museum on a very crowded day and I must admit that the handling of the masses was more than appreciable evidently the approach to the works was a tad shared with dozens and dozens of people, the space with the Mona Lisa was almost impassable because of the turnout.

The Louvre was difficult to find the entry, maps and signs didn't align When we navigated to the entry, we were able to follow the maps, through the sections. Very busy, so much to see. I would need 7 days of visits to see most of your amazing museum.
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.
Everything was phenomenal, a very nice ride, good treatment and a lot to see and enjoy. And enjoy. Just a thank you for this great experience.

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 Louvre was very impressive and we Head a great guide, who had incredible Knowledge about the history. I especially likes the Nike of Samothrace.
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.

Sylvanie, our guide was right where Headout said she would be. She was well organized and started on time. The tour was well done. The ticketing process was very smooth and the directions easy to follow. Head out sent a reminder just before the date, which was nice.
First of all, it was very advantageous not to have to wait in long queues. Our guide was very nice, had a wealth of knowledge and was very pleasant to listen to.

That you get a guided tour while others are queuing and don't get lost. The expertise is also excellent.

They were late, unapologetic and although it was humorous I don't think they should do it that way in the future. At some point I felt like I was going to lose the experience. The guide was a nice person but I still felt the tour could have been more in depth. Thank you for your service though.

Ticketing experience was easy. Our guide was a true expert - highly educated in art history and explained the art in a way that was appreciated by adults as well as our kids.
We enjoyed the small group of 6 Tour of Louvre with Anais of Wonder Tours. Anais made sure we got to see all three wings and gave food advice on how to get up close to see The Mona Lisa. Anais was also very knowlegeable anout the artworks and palace history.
Paris is exciting, the Louvre is spectacular. The guided tour is a great introduction to the vast Louvre cosmos for visitors interested in art. With her in-depth knowledge and understanding of art, our museum guide showed us and let us experience selected highlights, for which a big thank you.

Our guide was terrific, he got us through all the crowds. We saw all the great masterpieces. If you dont have hours and hours to deal with the crowd, this is the way to go. Our guide got us through the Louvre and all its rooms effortlessly.
Ivan was wonderful! We had 2 goals to see The Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. Ivan got us where we needed to go and did great explanations for the limited time we had.
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.
Julien was fantastic and made an unforgettable tour. He had a common thread for art history and brought this across in a humorous and entertaining way. The sculptures and many paintings in the Louvre were brought to life.

Very good guide. Good way to get in avoiding the lines. Very educational. Very crowded, which slows things down. ....not the fault of the guide.
Our guide was excellent; she did her best. It was very crowded because the museum didn't open at the regular time because the workers were thinking of striking. Therefore we waited in a long line once they decided to open.
The German-guided tour was excellent, so worth every penny. You got into the Louvre without waiting and got a lot of explanations. After the tour you could use the time in the Louvre on your own. A really great and stress-free experience. Many thanks for that.
View original review in German
The Louvre is overwhelming. It was helpful to have a knowledgeable tour guide to hit the highlights. I would highly recommend.
Bravo to the guide! She dwelt more on the history of the museum than on the works contained therein. He gave a good general overview. Clearly the museum is huge, in two hours you really see the bare minimum. But it's fine to then decide for yourself how to proceed inside the museum.

Online tickets to the Louvre Museum were already sold out, but we were still able to purchase tickets all thanks to Headout! We received our tickets just the day before the reservation, but we got inside the museum without any problems. The river cruise was also a wonderful bonus to the experience.
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!

Louvre museum entry was fine but the audioguide is not included in the ticket. Seine river cruise boarding instructions were not clear. Two separate boarding points was mentioned in the headout app and ticket and due to which we could not board the ship. Also, we had purchased two tickets but for seine river cruise we got same information and ticket number on both tickets.
It was a great experience for me and my mother at the Louvre in Paris. My mother was using a walking frame and the museum staff were very attentive and accommodating! There were virtually no waiting times for us and we were even let on directly to the Mona Lisa. The tickets were easy to book.

The visit was incredible and once the tickets had been sent, everything was really easy to figure out. The louvre is obviously famous for a reason, their collections were amazing and we really savoured our time there. 10/10 experience.
Email instructions for kids was confusing, it was said to collect kids tickets at counter. It was misleading, no need to go to counter for kids tickets, they are just walk in's with adults, no ticket required for kids. I had to call customer support to understand the process, as the museum staff also confused us.
The website kept saying I would receive my tickets in 60 min but hours went by before I received them. My entry time was for 10:30 and I only received my tickets 1 hour before.
Get escorted entry to the Mona Lisa with a host and bypass the crowds.

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.
The tour was really good , very organized we enjoyed our time there..Our quide was great.. Anthony Estrada
Everything was excellent! The tour was very interesting, the tour guide was very nice! A great experience!
The skip the line tour was great. Naomi took us to multiple places in the Louvre with easy. The Louvre can be a difficult place to navigate.
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.
There were crazy lines, but we went right through without any problems. The girl before we went in explained to us thoroughly how the museum is divided. It was worth it to pay a little more.

Guide was lovely but was not able to talk about what we were seeing and did not take us directly to the Mona Lisa so we were in a large crowd for quite awhile. Not what I expected for the price!
You had all well organized and we got to museum without any problems or discomfort. Also we managed to visit all exhibits in museum in time. The experience was very good and museum is amazing!!!
If you don't have much time, it's great because you don't have to find your own way around as you are guided through the most important rooms

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 whole booking process was very seamless. I found the guide (Natalie) very easily and she did an amazing job explaining the history of the Eiffel Tower. Learnt so many cool things that I didn't know before. Would highly recommend the guided tour for a more in-depth experience.
Edmond, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and efficient. Kept our entire group engaged. It was a bummer that we were unable to reach the summit that day due to technical issues with the elevator. Overall a great experience
Yussef was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Being at the top looking out over the city was our favorite.
This was one of the best tours I have been a part of. Rafael was nothing short of amazing. He was friendly, very informative, and made sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. We also zipped past security and all of the lines. I highly recommend!

The weather took a turn for the worse but actually made it more enjoyable. We got to experience a storm whilst at the summit and it made the experience all the more memorable.
It was perfect, I arrived at the scheduled time, I didn't even have to queue for 5 minutes, I got my ticket in advance. I entered at 10:30 and left at 16:00 and was able to enjoy the museum in peace. I recommend buying in advance!

David was an awesome guide for touring the Eiffel Tower. He extremely explained the history and every detail of the Eiffel Tower.
The museum is breathtaking, thank you for sharing. The history, architect, statues, artifacts, everything was fascinating.
First it started with the purchase of headout, it was actually very pleasant and fast. Since I didn't know how the process works and didn't get a Qr code, I asked for it and got it within 5 minutes. I found it top 1A and would book again in the future. The tour was great it was evening and we had Liz as a guide who did a great job (the story about the Eiffel Tower as well as passing the controls and checkout. We didn't have to worry about anything. P.s. You don't need a Qr code, the name and booking number will be sent. Thank you very much

It was my 2nd visit of Versailles. Entrance was really well organized, even there were so many people ( Easter weekend ) , we came into the palace earlier our time. You can take audioguide , 5€. We spent around 3 hours inside and then walked in the garden . If it would be no rain I guess could walk some hours or take golfcar (40€/h) .
I found the guide's curiosities very interesting. I think we shouldn't have had to queue to get our tickets, because we spent most of the tour queuing. This could be improved.
