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!

It was not clear I thought I purchased an audio guide with my ticket. I stood in a long line up to receive my audio guide Then when one was was not provided, I had to stand in another line to get an audio guide that was no longer available as many were broken and they were sold out. The Louvre exhibits were lovely and iconic. The W/C' were dirty and not well attendee's and not enough for the venue

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.

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.

The best thing about our tour of the Louvre was our guide (Laurence), she was fun, very knowledgeable, explained in detail the exhibits, patricularly the the paintings and the statues, the artists the composition and the meaning. By booking a skip the queue guided tour we also got into the museum very quickly rather than stand in line for several hours.

The Louvre and the area around it appeared to be very crowded, but we were able to easily find out meeting place for our guide tour and entered the museum through another entrance. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered many answers. She thoughtfully allowed us all a bathroom break before the tour started. We saw many famous pieces of artwork that I would not have been able to see if I had been on my own. I very much enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to everyone

This was our first visit to the Louvre, so we didn't want to be messy. We opted for a guided tour. We had no regrets: the young guide was fascinating and answered all our questions, as well as being very, very friendly. We'll be back to discover other works, starting with Egypt. Thanks to the organizers, and thanks to the guide.

Our tour guide did an awesome job in taking us to see the key artwork in the museum and spent over two hours providing history of the Louvre, the artist's work and maneuvered us through the crowds. She was very attentive to her group and kept it at a pace for everyone to keep up and rest when needed. The ticketing was easy doing it on line. Only drawback was the meeting location which has several tour groups and we went to the wrong ones first. If we paid attention to the instructions to look for the blue shirts it would have saved us time.

Our guide Julian gave us a very enthusiastic tour of the rooms. He showed us the various paintings and sculptures in a very entertaining way and also explained the creation of the works and the development of the respective art movements. It was a pleasure to listen to and see Julian. We saw and learned a lot. Julian adapted his tour to our pace and our interests and also showed us things that we would otherwise have passed by carelessly. It was a great tour all round and we can highly recommend it to anyone! Almost 3 hours of pure entertainment and knowledge! Many thanks for that!

According to the announcement, the tour was planned from 10-12 am, meeting at 9.45 am. We waited until 10.10 am for late guests (why?). The actual start at the museum was only around 10.45 am. So we only had about 75 minutes. The entrance procedure is of course in place. But this should also be stated in the tour description.

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.

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!

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.

The museum visit was great. However, I bought three combined tickets with a boat trip on the Seine and the tickets for this boat trip were not accepted (the code was wrong). Even after contacting the chatbot, I was sent the tickets for the museum again, which was of no use to me for the Seine boat trip. We were therefore unable to take the boat trip, which was very annoying. I request a refund and compensation on my credit card.

I was quite stressed as I only received the tickets about 5 hours before the event, which made me worry it might be a scam, especially after reading a lot of negative reviews. However, everything turned out fine and the tickets for both the Louvre Museum and the Seine Cruise were valid and worked without any issues.

There were no problems about tickets, we waited oco time despite the large attendance. Inside there were many people and in some places it was not easy to approach the works. Very difficult to approach the Mona Lisa! Still, a good experience.

Unfortunately we did not avoid the queue despite the ticket, we got in about half an hour after the scheduled time and quite a queue. The only positive note was that we managed, with a combined ticket and costing twice what we would have spent, to get into the Louvre

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.

Was very suspicious using Headout as had never heard of them before and I struggled to find concrete reviews. I was trying to source tickets to the Louvre in Paris as they get booked up weeks in advance and the trip was quite impromptu. I had been everywhere for them but to no avail. I decided to try Headout and it was well worth it. We booked a river cruise and entrance to the Louvre for 2 adults and 2 children. They state that the tickets will be emailed the day before the event which naturally I thought was a scam. It was not! They rely on their local operators to obtain them usually. Sure enough I received them a day before. Only the 2 adults require paid tickets and one of them was titled as my youngest which had me concerned. I called the helpline and spoke to Alicia who could not have been more helpful. She looked into it and confirmed that it would all be ok after contacting their local operators. She even went the extra mile to send me the tickets again with confirmation that it would not be a problem. Thank you Alicia and thank you Headout we had a great time. You do pay more than the face value of event tickets but the ability to source what is needed when needed is invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will no doubt be using them again.

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.

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.

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.

Everything worked out great and the meeting point was also well explained and easy to reach right in front of the Louvre!

For someone who doesn't need a detailed explanation of every exhibit, this tour is great!

Enter the museum at a later time slot and enjoy it with fewer crowds.

  • Everything you get: Visit the Louvre Museum after dark for a different experience—quieter, cooler, and less crowded. Open until 9 PM on Wednesdays and Fridays, it’s a great time to explore its renowned galleries with more space and ease. The evening lighting also adds a unique perspective to the artwork, making familiar masterpieces feel fresh and different. The last entry is one hour before closing, but since it takes at least 2-3 hours to see the highlights, arriving earlier will give you enough time to make the most of your visit.
  • Why choose this: Visiting the Louvre at night offers a calmer atmosphere, cooler temperatures, and fewer crowds, allowing you to explore its masterpieces with more space and ease.
  • Upgrades: Opt to include an audio guide to help you navigate the museum and learn more about each artwork in detail.

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.

Everything was fine with the ticket and the service, they even called to make sure I didn't have any questions. I received the ticket again via WhatsApp the day before, so everything was really on the safe side. The castle itself is overrated for me, there are more beautiful places in Paris and the surrounding area. The garden is beautiful and really worth seeing and lovingly designed.

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 had to queue for quite a while due to a "strike" no apologies. Waited and queued for a long long time for just a cup of tea - suggest a separate place for visitors only wanting a drink! Alot of time wasted queuing- apart from the above it is a stunning Palace!

New to the Louvre? Here's a quick explainer of the layout

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.

Tour group exploring the Denon Wing of the Louvre Museum in Paris, featuring iconic artworks and sculptures

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. 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
