We did a self-guided tour through the museum and spent several hours enjoying the art and stopping for a nice meal in the Orsay. Day was just delightful because of environment (the former train station alone is worth seeing), exhibits and manner of display.

It was all so easy! Booking online, following the directions to the pier, finding the perfect seat (down below and outside-perfect) The one hour fit into our schedule perfectly and covered all the important sites. It is so great to see Paris from the perspective of the river as well! - and the price is extreamly resonable!

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.

Our tickets come up on the app to get us in. I did not realize I would need them to get into each wing. When we went to pull them up again I could not get the PDF to load due to bad wifi and signal in the Louvre. There was no help number to calll with the head out app. We kept clickingz and clicking around until they finally popped back popes up. We never did figure out how we found them the second time. You need some type of tech support that is reachable. It was very frustrating to think we had lost our tickets and could not get in.

Louvre is in itself a sight worth seeing. The collections are huge and well displayed. However, to get the maximum out of your visit pre-planning is worth while. As the exhibits are so large you easily end up walking and gawking aimlessly without necessarily seeing what you came to see. The interactive guide (audio guide) takes some time to truly understand. For those who have played games on a PSP have a huge advantage.

Beautiful places but too crowded. At Versailles, in particular, everyone clustered together. Then it was not made clear at the time of purchase that the Palace + gardens ticket would allow us access to the gardens even before the Palace entrance time. We realized this by accident. Just as it was not clear that the ticket also included entrance to the Grand Trianon. For admission to the Louvre, however, it would have been better if you had informed us with an email about the permanent exhibitions that were not visible, at least we were prepared. For example, the Egyptian one. Greetings

We loved everything about our Combo package - we managed to visit the Lourve on Sat morning, walked up the Champ Elysses for lunch, then did the Eiffel Tower tour in the early evening.

We love this Museum which we have visited previously. The fastrack ticketing was easy and successful, although I bought 3 tickets, but the audio guide was not suitable for us all. The exhibits are wonderful, and on this occasion there were additional exhibitions.

Very good for the ticket we got in right away, the audio guide however is actually an unclear app and without pictures, hard to understand what you are looking at, I would definitely take back only the entrance tickets without audio guide

The audio guide wasn't really friendly and specific usage instructions. We ended up not using it, which made the experience a kind of browsing or just roaming the museum. Which we didn't appreciate. Plus we booked with you 11:30 and then discovered there, that the tickets are 12:00 which caused us a lot more wait in wrong lines.

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!

L'Orangerie is an outstanding museum! The Monet water lily paintings are absolutely gorgr! The trick is to get people to stop talking in the gallery and to move away from in front of the paintings! ☺️

Die Tickets für das Musée de l'Orangerie und Musée d'Orsay waren sofort verfügbar. Da es eine separate Warteschlange für Besucher ohne Tickets gab, entstanden für uns keine Wartezeiten. Der Besuch des Museum l'Orangerie ist auf eine halbe Stunde begrenzt, was viel zu kurz ist. Von einem 30 Minütigen Besuch der Orangerie ist auf jeden Fall abzuraten, das ist nur Abzocke. Allerdings wurden wir beim rausgehen nicht kontrolliert. Das Musse d'Orsay schliesst offiziell um 18:00, un 17:45 waren schon einige Räume geschlossen, daher dieses Museum früher einplanen, es gibt kein Zeitlimit ausser den Öffnungszeiten.
