Fast track tickets were great. The downloaded audio guide was not clear to use according to the room exhibitions - ended up not using the guide.
The booking was prompt and reliable, good value for the experience. Museum was fantastic and well organized inside, we did the audio tour for €6 it was worth every penny. Thanks head out will use you again.
The simplicity is the functionality of the portal allows for accurate service. We also avoided standing in a long line at the entrance , the rest is credit to the museum for both its location and the artistic value of the paintings on display

I think the most beautiful museum I have ever visited, too bad that due to a technical problem in the museum, despite the fast-track ticket, we waited quite a long time to get in. It was still worth it, though. Superlative the Impressionists section but really interesting also the sections on minor French artists.

It was not mentioned anywhere that the tickets for the Musée d Orsay and the Orangerie are only valid on the same day, in any case we had to buy tickets for the Orangerie again the next day. Everything else worked well

The galleries were v quiet Good cloakroom storage **What wasn't v good was the poor signage to the galleries and a lack of lifts!

It was an exciting visit despite having been there five times before. Viewing the structure is always a beautiful experience and the paintings wonderful.

I love seeing the impressionists. I went solo without a guide. The trip I booked included audio tour but it didn't really make sense and had no directions. And you had to download it all, so that was a bit of a waste.
The information via whats app from murat was very helpful. We got to the museum super fast. Top ! All other providers had no more tickets!

The exhibition is d museum collections made the visit extremely interesting. The audio guide purchased with ticket was not useful as it was necessary to download it to the smart and then use it. Much better was the one provided by the museum.

I purchased this package with preferential entry since the reservation the previous day was already closed upon arrival without time limit I chose the desired time and through the fast track I entered immediately organized very well the museum is' wonderful so with a few Euros more than the price of the standar ticket I would highly recommend it Thank you

Memorable is saying a lot. I think it's a poor translation from English into French. It was nice - but expensive - not to have to queue. On the other hand, the audio guide service is non-existent.

Musée d'Orsay is our favorite museum. Having fast track timed tickets was great. We didn't spend too long waiting in the queue.
It was super easy to buy tickets for the museum on my mobile and jump the queue immediately, allowing me to enjoy the last few hours of the museum before it closed. Thank you so much!

The museum itself is a fabulous building and well worth seeing. Inside we enjoyed stolling through the statuary in the main atrium. We also visited the side rooms filled with great artwork including a great exhibit of impressionist and post impressionist works by Monet, Manet, Gaugin, Van Gogh and many more. One of the best things was the spaciousness, so we never felt cramped or rushed. It was a wonderful visit.
The musee d'orsay is in a beautiful building. Exhibits are interesting particularly the impressionists and statues. Cafe of 5th floor was stunning Fast track still meant queuing but you have to hope it was a shorter queue than not having bought the ticket
I love watching peoples reactions to L'Origine du monde by Courbet. It is a very graphic depiction of a naked woman in a most intimate pose. People become self conscious being seen looking at the painting. Some can't even look at it. Pity but comical.
The exhibits are wonderful both Harriet Backer's and Caille Botte's. Of course the whole museum is really worth a day is not enough. With the ticket purchased before you do very little queuing. Wonderful experience.

The incredible Art collection, the Coffee Shop with good food & great Service, the Ambiance, the friendly staff, and the great location!
This was so worth it. We had a separate line and walked by everyone else who had timed tickets. The lines were crazy long to get in. We had a short wait and were able to get in.

Our guide was quite good. He fleshed out the lives of the artists, and knowledgeably taught us about the techniques and materials of the painters
The guide was late at the appiontment. He appeared to have had a wonderful night the night before. He was not inspiring at all, quite routinely led us through the museum.
Tinu was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We did see many paintings that she provided excellent details that we otherwise would not have seen. Merci
Our guide Adam was simply amazing! Friendly knowledgeable and interesting. What was distressing are the crowd sizes that the museum allows. Should be better control of that. After guided tour could not remain to browse on our own. Way too many people!!!!
Our guide was really professional! Some information on the meeting point within booking info or ticket itself would help your clients to be more relaxed. We were pointed to the main queue by the employee of museum (as there is no information in the ticket, only how to reach museum itself), altghough our guide was standing outside and waiting for us.
Blerta e' una guida molto preparata Ci ha introdotto alla storia dell'impressionismo rendendo la visita molto completa e appassionante
The guide was very knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged as we talked about different points of interest.
Super nige guide and wonderful visit to the Orasy Museum. Thank you 😊

Point on a map in the application is showing wron position for the museum entrance. It shows totally different building, the hotel, located in 2 subway stops from the correct enter.

Visiting Mona Lisa!!! When growing up. I only knew and read about it from pictures and books. But when i saw the painting for the first time... Im Beyond Fascinated..!!!
Even if we bought skip the line tickets, we still had to wait a long line until we entered in the Louvre museum. On the contrary we entered immediately when we arrived in the Museum of Orsay. Both wonderful museums and should not be missed
The museum was great and the audio-guide works. But the fact that I have to go to the Head out app to get my tickets was a hassle. It wasn't sent in the email, said my ticket is in the app so I needed to install the app (I have no more phone memory and poor internet data.) We were almost denied entry because I do not have an internet roaming and the ticket is in the app, unlike other ticketing online that sends pdf file on the email confirmation with my free internet. We went out of the museum to get better data coverage in order to install the app and get my tickets 😆
The incredible Art collection, the Coffee Shop with good food & great Service, the Ambiance, the friendly staff, and the great location!
I didn't wait at all... and apart from that I think it's such a beautiful place! And I loved the permanent collections ... and didn't have the energy to enjoy the 2 temporary exhibitions. Too bad... I'll be back!

I should have downloaded the audio guide before arriving at the venue. This was written in your description, but I neglected doing it, and then arrived at the venue expecting to do it, and I couldn't bc the service was bad outside the venue, and I realized I needed to research the areas I wanted to tour BEFORE I got to the venue so I could download them. The QR code and email I received with purchase said no where on it that I was going to receive a WHATSAPP message to click through to receive my actual PDF ticket. So while in line I had to call customer service and he directed me to the WhatsApp message where I downloaded the PDF (which took a LONG time since the service in the line was so bad -- likely due to the huge crowds) There didn't seem to be any benefit to skipping the line with my purchased ticket. Maybe that wasn't part of my purchase? But I had to stand with hundreds of other people who also had a 1pm scheduled visit.
The waiting time was shortened to about 30 min, so bcp more pleasant and we had more time for the visit.To do again, because the Louvre is very large and we saw only a part. The tickets were sent by WhatsApp, it took me a while to understand the procedure, I was expecting to find them on the app directly.

I think it is a beautiful museum. The only thing is that I was sold a ticket from 16 hours. We arrived later 17 hours and from 17 hours the ticket is free !!!! Therefore, I paid when it could have been free of charge.

The ticket was for 12:30 p.m.; you should inform us in advance that many other visitors have also booked for this time and that there will therefore be long waiting times at the entrance.

We so enjoyed the Louvre, and would advise people to get the audio guide. (The tickets make it sound like the guide is somehow included, and there was some downloading process on our phones we couldn't make work). Instead use the museum's Nintendo device you rent and find the option that locates you and click on objects in the room.
The museum it's self is such an amazing and beautiful building, you are blown away before you get inside. Once you get through the epic que, grab a map (there is one available in every language), then make a plan of what you want to see. The Mona Lisa is a must! Great cafes on site, as well ad shopping opportunities in the gift shops and further shops underneath the museum.
Orangery was just perfect! Orsay: I couldn't use the ticket as the museum had issue (as I understood it was a strike inside) without exact time when the museum becomes available. Assistants said that it's possible to come to another time. But it was inconvenient for me. I'd come on Sunday but it will be free day and too many ppl.
The codes did not work to download audio guide. Frustrating. As I got ticket to me one day in advance I was unable to resolve with Headout prior to entering the Louvre. We were in the middle of our trip to Paris and I did not want to deal with this sort of issue. I try to plan ahead so as not to have this problem.
It is highly recommended to book your time slot early enough to be sure that you can enter the museum at the desired time. The entrance to the museum itself is very well organized, so that I was at the museum at 11:30 am, as booked.

Then there were 2800 visitors in the museum, but it did not feel like very full. the collection is very nice and the exhibition rooms are nicely decorated. Signage and descriptions accompanying the paintings are good.

River cruise was a very nice experience (there was a snow storm that day and it was great to be under a roof and still enjoy the views around you). Our Eiffel Tower tour was rescheduled because of the weather conditions and the tower was closed that day. The customer service was really compliant and responsive and they rescheduled the tour really quickly. The instructions to the meeting points were clear and our guide in Eiffel was super friendly and helpful. Really recommend!!

Everything is very good, the tour is worth it and the price is affordable. The first tour in the morning is emptier than the ones in the afternoon, you can get on and have more space. It would be better if there were previous indications of which point to board but arriving at the area they inform you.

There didn't seem to be enough seats for everyone on board. The noise people made every time we passed under a bridge was extremely annoying and off putting. It ruined the experience of a pleasant cruise on the Seine. Ignore the second box, had to tick something else to continue.
The Disney experience was a real blast. Arrive early and you can enjoy it to the fullest. We recommend downloading the app to see the wait times.

Once we figured out what line we should wait on, it went smooth. Love the boat experience and seeing Paris from that perspective( we choose an evening cruise).
This was my third visit to the Orsay museum and it never fails to astonish me, The Impressionism exhibit is fantastic coupled with the amazing architecture of the museum. It remains my favorite museum in the world! My best advice is to buy the skip the line tickets for the earliest time slot for a stress free visit. Love, love, love and can't wait for my next visit!
Lovely activity, within walking distance of Eiffel Tower/ easy to find with App map directions. Simple boarding process with friendly staff.
We did not take the guided tour, but the museum is beautiful and the historical tour well clarified by the inscriptions displayed in the rooms. On-line reservation was' quick and easy to fulfill so it saved us the queue at the entrance.

The museum is absolutely spectacular and filled with incredible works from Egyptian art to important French works to impressionism and sculpture. Highly recommend. We probably didn't need the skip the line pass because it was not super busy on Tuesday afternoon, but, we were happy to have it.

Between 1810 and 1838, the site where Orsay stands today served as cavalry barracks and later a grand palace. The palace, Palais d’Orsay, housed the Court of Accounts and the State Council. By 1912, both institutions had moved to the Cambon Palace and Palais-Royal, respectively.
The site of the Palais d'Orsay was bought by the Compagnie Paris-Orléans, which erected a new station, the Gare d'Orsay here. The station was designed by French architect Victor Alexandre Frederic Laloux. It was constructed in a neoclassical style with a stone facade that could hide metal and glass frames and was equipped with modern amenities like lifts and escalators. In 1939, the railway station halted operation the platforms became unsuitable for modern trains. Eventually, in 1978 the station was put on the supplementary list of Historic Monuments and it was decided that the station would be turned into a museum. The Orsay museum officially opened in December 1986.
History of Orsay MuseumThe Orsay Museum building holds a magnificent secret from its past life as a railway station: a towering clock that reigns on the fifth floor. This timepiece is no ordinary one; it's the heart of the Great Clock, a reminder of the building's bustling history.
The clock does not stand simply as a reminder of the past; it offers stunning views of the Seine River, and famous Parisian landmarks nearby such as the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden, and Sacre Coeur.
Know MoreOrsay is home to an impressive collection of French art dating from 1848 to 1914, with much of the focus on Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces. The Orsay collection includes over 6,000 works of art, which include paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. Of these, 3,000 works form part of the museum's permanent collection.
Notable works include Poppies by Monet, The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, The Age of Bronze by Auguste Rodin, and photographs by Gustave Le Gray.
Explore the Collection at OrsayPaintings make a significant portion of the Orsay Museum collection. You will find an impressive repertoire of 3,000 Realist, Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and other 19th-century art. The vast collection includes works by artists some of the greatests such as Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Cezanne, and more.
Some of the most famous artworks include A Burial at Ornans by Gustave Courbet, Blue Water Lilies by Claude Monet, Frédéric Bazille's The Family Reunion, and Paul Cézanne's Apples and Oranges. Orsay is also home to 24 of Vincent van Gogh's paintings including L'Arlésienne, Bedroom in Arles, Self Portrait, The Siesta, The Church at Auvers, View from the Chevet, The Italian Woman, Starry Night, Portrait of Dr. Gachet, Doctor Gachet's Garden in Auvers, and Saint-Rémy.
