Great Museum, easy access.

Mechelle_M, Apr 2024

It was great to have the tickets available when I didn't get tickets in time from the museum website.

Amazing tour

Maggie_L, Apr 2024

This was the 2nd time visiting Louvre. My family had a good time. Time is never enough, we will be back to finish the rooms we have yet to drop by.

Complete waste of money

Amy_M, Apr 2024

Do you like senselessly throwing money away? If you do, book your tickets to the louvre through Viator where they will charge you more than double what the cost is to buy the exact same tickets of the louvre website. Or just go the louvre website and save yourself the needless expense. Or if you don’t mind waiting an extra hour you can just show up and buy your tickets there.

A nice and fast experience, getting into the Louvre!

Noble_A, Apr 2024

Three were at our party, and our tickets allowed us fast access to the Louvre at our appointed time. Fortunately, as stated, we skipped the lines, which were pretty lengthy at that time. We had a great self-guided tour of the museum, and later, we had a great experience on the River Seine tour.

Can only be recommended!

Thomas_L, Apr 2024

Great! Was all very easy to book and find the ways on site and access. No additional queuing to get tickets at the Louvre. Were sent a day before as promised. No big additional fee to single bookings Louvre + Ship tour either and therefore really worth the money. Can recommend totally as I didn’t get tickets on the Louvre website anymore for that day a week before. So you saved my weekend in Paris. Thank you! :-)

Must see Louvre plus Seine boat ride

Yvonne_L, Apr 2024

Louvre, We love all these treasures art works. Be it paintings through the ages, sculptures, or furnitures, antiquity. Besides Met, this is the other significant first class museum of the world

Highly recommended!

morosiello, Apr 2024

I wasn’t too sure about booking something given all the crazy scams these days, but Viator came through! Easy to navigate, responsive and best of all we got ticket to the louvre through Viator that we were unable to get by booking directly from the museum website. Highly recommended!

Louvre Quick(?) access................... Long queues either way

Stuart_W, Apr 2024

Hard to assess whether it was quicker as it was quite confusing where to enter at what point. Once in locate a working toilet!, they were in short supply!! :)

A must when you visit Paris

Carole_M, Apr 2024

Great day. Claire our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about France’s history and Mont St Michel.

Louvre preticket was great.

Teresa_S, Apr 2024

I was unable to use the voucher for the Sienne as it was rainy and cold and i ran out of time, so i can not speak to the experience. The ticket for Louvre was great.

The great paintings and...

Olumide_O, Apr 2024

The great paintings and other forms of art. Decent-sized crowds, but it was great to see the variety of nationalities present and all the languages spoken.

Everything was excellent

Mathews_J, Apr 2024

We could get in without any issues. The ticket was delivered to my mail one day prior to the actual visit

Lourve is a must

Dave_L, Apr 2024

The museum is awesome. If you are into art at all, this tour is a must. The gallery does a fine job of laying out the art. There is more than you can see in a few hours, but it is worth the trip to take in as much as you can.

Fresh air

Roman_S, Apr 2024

Beautiful, huge place.Get ready to spend all day there. I did put 5 stars for louvre but would like to give only 4 because after few hours in there when you be need to get fresh air,you won't find it.No access to terrace, balcony etc. Place is amazing anyway!

Fantastic

Claire_H, Apr 2024

Amazing place to visit !!! A must do if going to paris. Louvre was utterly beautiful, can easily spend a day there. Was shocked how big it was. Not great for toddlers but amazing for teens upwards. Would definitely go again.

Disappointing

Lynn_C, Apr 2024

Map of the Louve was not helpful. We looked at few exhibits and then left becuase we couldnt find anything. Need to have more signs in English

Good for last-minute tickets

seana_a, Apr 2024

Was cautious, but ended up being a good way to get tickets that were otherwise sold out. The museum is beyond amazing.

A great experience in a stunning city!

Martin_P, Apr 2024

The Louvre is stunning, with so much to see. A truly marvellous experience. The boat ride was nice to do, but I think like most great cities, most of the main attractions in Paris are accessible on foot.

Good but rip off

brencollins, Apr 2024

The Louvre and cruise were good but you can save yourself over 50% of cost by booking yourself and direct from Louvre and Bateaux Parisiens. I think only advantage is it difficult to guarantee Louvre tickets months ahead of time.

Don't book stay away

Largime_A, Apr 2024

Book through louve museum half the price 22€ This company is a rip off was 39€ wasted time contacting them for QR coded needed to enter. Horrible company
