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!

Everything was absolutely amazing except the audio part. It was too confusing. I thought my purchased ticket covered the audio, but it didn't. I downloaded the audio, not once, but twice and it didn't work. Otherwise, our trip there was Amazing!! We loved it. I saw the Mona Lisa in person! Beautiful museum!
I visited the Louvre Museum with an advanced ticket, which made entry quick and smooth—just 15 minutes to get inside. The museum is massive, spread across seven floors, and you need at least three hours to explore it properly. If you're in Paris, alongside the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre is like a souvenir you simply can't miss. The experience was incredible! It takes you on a journey from 200 BC to the 20th century, showcasing hidden gems that have never seen sunlight. The sheer history and artistry within its walls make it an unforgettable visit. Highly recommended!
First of all we areived earlien than was given, ao we had more time for an another activity. Eifel tower i liked the most. I thought wexare going until the second floor, but we went to the top. Was amazing end first time. I liked it also by Louvre we just came in to our time period end we just just came in because we had ticket, and we did not have to wait outside. Proximatly 20-30 minits until you get in.
The entire exhibit was breathtakingly beautiful! I can't believe I was even seeing all those painting with my own eyes. Obviously the Mona Lisa was glorious but every other painting in that museum was just as equally extraordinary!
The queues were well organized and we showed the ticket to the staff and they immediately indicated which queue we should go to. The museum is incredible and quite large, we loved the experience!

The experience the details are very painting. It was exquisite. I have no words to describe what I felt in the moment of watching every painting sculpture, and at the same time, getting educated on the history of each painting.
The museum itself is an excellent example of the French desire for a modern self-image and at the same time the preservation and transmission of European culture. Unfortunately, the transition between the individual rooms is less successful. The navigation needs to be improved. Otherwise, if there is already a section on Islam, there should of course be a Jewish and Israeli section for historical and current reasons.

Easy booking and clear instructions. Given the enormity of the Lourve, this was probably the best way to get a compressed overview of the highlights. Three hours was definitely enough time for a visit. Lots of stairs, standing and walking. Our guide was very knowledgeable, a little too dramatic at times.
Yvan was our guide. He is great. Kind. Punctual. What he told us was very interesting. To the point. He guided us perfect trough the museum and towards the headlights. Gave us important tips.
The tour guide was very nice and we got into the museum very quickly and easily. She just went through everything with us very quickly and didn't take much time.

Anthon was a great guide at the Louvre. I thought going on a holiday weekend would be crowded- at it was- but he navigated the crowds expertly. The tour was very informative and well timed. It was easy to find Anthon- I popped out of the metro and he was waiting right there with the group. He also provided helpful information and I stayed at the musuem another 2.5 hours.
Everything with tour was actually ok, our guide - Justin - was very good. Problem was, that in instructions was mentioned, that meeting point is under Arch toward Louvre Pyramid. We was there 30 min before. At the end we contacted with support and then appear'd that meeting point is actually 50 m away. Finally we fond it but actually this was a bit annoying.
The guide was great - attractive and very knowledgeable. It was right lenght, right level/depth of information. Interactive and rwally taking caremif the whole group.
The complex subject matter was presented in a very clear and understandable way by the group leader Julian during the guided tour. A very pleasant afternoon, despite the many other people in the museum.

Great selection of things worth seeing. Very knowledgeable guide. Everything well prepared despite constraints related to the crowdedness of the place.
The tour and the guide was great and she is veey knowledgeable. The only reason I took off a star is because finding the location and guide was a little stressful/challenging.
My son and I had the pleasure of touring the Louvre with Anna as our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, providing rich historical context and fascinating stories behind each piece we viewed. Anna’s passion for art and history shone through in every explanation, making the visit truly memorable. We highly recommend booking a tour with her if you want a deeper, more engaging exploration of the Louvre’s treasures.
We really enjoyed Jonny. He was great. They background stories he told about the art, items and rooms we visited, was second to none. Would love to spend more time with him and see more of the Louvre. Would totally recommed him.
The tour was fantastic. Our guide, Juliaen, explained the Louvre to us in a wonderful way. I have been on many guided tours in my life, but this one was exceptional. You could tell how enthusiastic and knowledgeable Julien is. My compliments, Julien.

Our guide Julian showed us the relevant works of art in an extremely clear and competent manner and somehow brought everything to life. It was great fun and it was a shame when the tour was over! He himself was also so enthusiastic and that was very infectious. We would love to do another tour with him if we come to Paris again. Thanks to Julian

We had booked a guided tour of the Louvre and our guide Julian showed us as much as possible in 3 hours. He was very personable and was able to infect us with his passion for the works of art. The tour couldn't have been better. Highly recommended!

Benedict's tour was incredibly interesting. We traveled through the centuries and almost felt like we were there. As an art historian, Benedict has impressive knowledge, which she passed on in a very humorous and entertaining way. Very inspiring. We were pleased that we found a tour in German. We would probably have missed out on a lot in English. Definitely do it! It's well worth it.

Going through the Louvre without being overwelmed or lost and ending with a feeling that our time was well spent is a definite plus. Our guide picked important pieces from 2000 years or more and tied them together in a very interesting manor. Not being an art scholar I got alot out of the tour. I would recommend it highly.
Good ticketing experience! Natalia was a very good guide but three hours was a very long time and too much people around all the time . Hard to keep focus and to follow Natalia and her flag .
Great tour! Avi from The Tour Guy was superb on the way he conducted the tour not to mention the fact that we skipped all the lines! Highly recommended

The museum was amazing and the booking process very straightforward. One suggestion. Be clear as to when the tickets will arrive. I was told one day, then 60 min, and then 30 min. I chatted support and was told that tickets will arrive two hours before the start time. I would have preferred that was stated from the outset.
The visit to the museum was wonderful, but I received the tickets two hours before the appointment and then couldn't open them at the entrance. It was a bit stressful. My daughter is 17 and didn't really need a ticket, did she? I bought 2 tickets. Excursion by boat was very good, even if my language wasn't included.
View original review in German
The visit itself was great. Headout only provided the ticket 1.5 hours before the event started. That was very annoying. Contact with Headout was only via automated reassurance clauses. As I had read many cases on the internet where customers did not receive their tickets from Headout, I was very unsettled. Of course, I was delighted when the tickets did arrive. However, I had already booked a replacement event and had to change my plans again. A theater like this can only be recommended to a limited extent.

The museum is truly unmissable. The tickets arrived only two hours before the 'scheduled time, moreover postponed without being notified. Also, the 'reserved access did not particularly reduce the ettesa time; we stood in a long line. However, it was worth it.. The well-organized tour on the Seine

Tickets for the Louvre on the day of my interest were no longer available on the museum's official website, and thanks to Headout I was able to find them even though I booked at the last minute. However, the tickets did not arrive immediately after payment and I received them only a couple of hours before my visit to the Louvre. This made me worry but then it was fine.However, the chat assostance service cintinued to answer and reassure me that The tickets would arrive, and they did. I also had some doubts about the tickets but I resolved them by calling the available English-speaking assistance, which answered immediately. I suggest getting in line at the Louvre an hour in advance of the booked time.

The experience was positive for the cost of the combined cruise and Louvre museum ticket when on the official website everything was already sold out. The only really negative note is that there was not adequate communication about how to retrieve tickets: only from the headout app and only two hours before the access date.

Everything worked out finally, after I had received the wrong tickets at first.?what I definitely disliked is that the tickets were not issued right away but only in the late morning of the day they were for, As one needs to plan the day, that is simply not acceptable. In addition I would have preferred to receive diwnloadable tickets via mail without having to download some app first!
Very nice staff Wonderful historical location Unique art Question: why are thousands of people channeled through ONE security check at the "Galerie du Carrousel" entrance? ... Waiting time one hour despite booking.
View original review in German
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.
Museum was really busy, signposting was nearly none existent but because we had prebooked tickets which were sent to me 24ish hours earlier we only had to find the right entrance for our allotted ticket time and we got straight in. Finding the right entry was the only challenge and was fairly straightforward once we stopped someone to ask. Definitely recommend this as the queues to buy/pick up tickets were enormous and we completely avoided that headache.
Very good organization, admission was on time and went quite quickly. The subsequent Seine boat tour is also highly recommended, simply great as a combined booking!

I was worried about the purchase because I had never used this site/app before. The ticket arrived a day before, which made me a little apprehensive (not knowing if we'd actually get it). But everything went well. Another important point is that if you have a minor child/teenager, there is no ticket for them, so I didn't know... but I was informed that minors can enter accompanied by their parents without a ticket.

The art itself was amazing. The museum is huge, so I couldn't finish all of it, but I think I got the most out of my visit to this amazing museum.
I received the ordered service with purchased tickets, but the problem for me was that I received the tickets so late - about 12 hours before the service, which made me nervous and worried whether everything would go as planned. The tickets all had my name on them, although I also made reservations for other family members, luckily no one checked it afterwards.
Although we had to queue for quite a while for our reserved time, we actually got into the Louvre at around the reserved time. The ticket was well worth it. The tickets for adults are sufficient, and you don't actually need a ticket or reservation for under-18s.

You don't wait it the very long line huge benefit! If it is your first time in Louvre you do not expect how huge it is. It is perfect to get you to Mona Lisa or you might get lost and to need hours to get oriented and find your bearings. Worth it. I recommend to anyone who visits the Louvre for the first time.
I enjoyed being able to visit, having little time, the works that interested me directly and without standing in line. Otherwise in the Louvre you get lost. Nice and helpful guide, who made an effort to speak in Italian. Highly recommended !

Super memorable experience. Amazing building and ambiance. Should've gone for the audio guide for next visit though.
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.

I had to wait almost an hour in line to be able to enter at 18:40 with my 18:30 ticket. It was a miserable experience.
There is not much to say. It's the Louvre. If you don't go, you'll regret it. My advice would be to go Friday night and avoid the larger tour crowds.
You don't have to queue for hours to enjoy the sights here. Try it at night. Listen to the wonderful musicians and just sit back and relax in the atmosphere and film location of The Da Vinci Code. Awesome!
The views of the tower at night at beautiful as it lights up and twinkles against the night sky. The view from the top is awesome, can't be beat! Well worth the wait and ride in the two elevators up to the top.
The late night openings are the best times to visit to avoid queues. The Nintendo DS guide is great and helped navigation and gleaning information on points of interest.
we went on a Friday night while there were a lot of people there you could still see everything your wanted. you really need to devote 3 hours minimum but know that you need to prioritize--you will not be able to see everything. This is an amazing museum and a must visit if you are in Paris.

First of all tour guide was so friendly and explained everything. We skipped cues so we did not have to wait so much in the cues.and Eiffel Tower was amazing . We went up to the summit. Well done
Our tour guide was incredibly warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable at the ripe age of 25. Liam is pursuing a wondrous future and shares that energy in his tours. The meet up point is a souvenir shop adjacent to some of Paris's best culinary experiences. Our tour was the 9Pm which eliminates the crowds and provides easy, quick, and the most amount of time visiting this historical icon of engineering architecture. We strongly recommend this tour and paying the extra to have a personal experience above and beyond a walk in visit without a tour. Thank you, Liam for a wonderful time together.

We went right up to the summit and the view was...WOW!. I would recommend this to everyone especially if you are travelling from farm, book early.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Each of the wings is spread across different levels of the Louvre Museum. Read on to locate the masterpieces of the museum.
This level showcases ancient sculptures like Venus de Milo and Winged Victory of Samothrace, Egyptian antiquities, Islamic art, and remnants of the medieval Louvre.
Level 1 houses iconic paintings like Mona Lisa and Liberty Leading the People, along with Renaissance masterpieces, royal apartments, and decorative arts.
Level 2 features an extensive collection of European paintings from the 14th to 19th centuries, including works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Rubens, and French masters.
Find the detailed map of the Louvre Museum here.
Scattered throughout the Louvre, you'll find an eclectic mix of objets d’art and ancient artefacts that will transport you to different eras.
