I believe most people will look to take this package for the Louvre tickets, which are kinda impossible to get a day before your visit in this high-volume, reservation-only peak season. I booked this package as a last-ditch attempt to get in, and although I had to follow up for over an hour before the museum visit time, I actually did to get tickets! For that, I will always give Headout its due props. The cruise should not be slept on, either - it is a great experience and the flexibility is really cool! In the summers, I recommend picking up the 8:30 cruise if you want to see the Eiffel light up in front of your eyes. All in all, you get what you pay for, and this is actually one of the better packages available on the website!

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

The guide Julian was perfect. He knew the best places to see the works of art, showing us the main ones in each gallery, including the Mona Lisa, which we had a perfect view of. He passed on his knowledge of Greek and Roman Renaissance art and Italian and French paintings. I was very satisfied with the approximately three-hour tour.

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.

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.

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!
