I only had time for one gallery in Paris and chose Musee d’Orsay, which did not disappoint. I was able to skip the main queue and waited only 5 minutes in the security queue. Make sure to ask an attendant which queue as the pass I had downloaded was suggesting the longest queue. I would also recommend pre-booking audio guide if possible as I was one of the last to receive one before they ran out (late morning). I walked the sculptures, level 2 and level 5. The rooms on level 2 were my favourite with focussed on Corbet, Manet & Millet. Floor 5 had some of the more known iconic artworks but was very crowded with people more interested in taking photos than viewing art. Bathrooms were well kept however I didn’t see any places to fill up my water bottle.

Had to wait in the line for 20-30 minutes, which isn’t too bad for Paris, really. Museum is unsurprisingly impressive, and even though there ate always tons of people - it doesn’t seem crowded considering the scale of the building. The real downside for me that it was quite stuffy in there, so I probably missed half of paintings and sculptures since I rushed outside to get some fresh air. All in all it’s a nice museum, but more air and less people in the queue would have been lovely.

Definitely meant for art lovers of specific artists. Many, many sculptures and paintings so if you plan on doing an activity afterwards definitely decide what you'd like to see before going. Get! An! Audio! Guide! because unless you're a history buff it will be 900 times more boring for you and your family to not understand the context of the work, especially when you're passing other groups or individuals who seem way more intrigued while they learn about the work.

Make sure you are in the correct line-up for people who already have purchased tickets. You are allowed to enter the line 30 minutes before your reservation time. The Impressionist art is up on the 5th floor. Bring your water bottle and a snack ; it gets tiring after a couple of hours and there are line ups to get into the two restaurants .

Quick and easy access when you buy your tickets in advance. There’s so many sculptures and paintings you need to research and pick the ones you want to see before you go. One day is not enough for even just half of the collection you can see inside. So amazing we didn’t care at all that we stayed till closing time!

We were provided with a bar code for easy entry. Unlike our other bookings where we were just issued a QR code which did not grant us access. Electronic bookings should have electronic tickets; NOT tickets you have to print. Very difficult when you are on vacation. Will never use again for this reason.

We arrived hungry and thirsty but it took ages to locate a cafe, restaurant didn’t seem to be functioning but there was no notice about it. Once we found the cafe, it was excellent. Good service, good refreshments. The museum is spectacular, a wonderful setting for excellent works of art.

Our tour guide, Stephanie, was beyond incredible! She made every second of our tour extremely informative and amusing, especially for our tween twins. We'd recommend her and tour in a heart beat. Can't wait to do it again. Thank you for making our trip to Versailles so memorable!

I booked this activity because I wanted my daughter to have a cup of tea with me in the most luxuriously decorated ceiling in a restaurant in the world, (that I know of)! We relaxed and discussed which exhibitions we wanted to see, made a plan and then executed it! Awesome!

Starting and tickets is much easy than standing in lines at museum. The museum does have entrances well signed w/reps near by for assistance. Inside is the same. The outlay of museum is well organized and there are staff all around to assist and answere any questions.
