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.

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 .

The experience was great! 1/2 day is just about the right amount of time to see Versailles. Pickup was easy and well communicated. The tour guide was knowledgeable and sweet. We had a little over an hour to wander the gardens before getting on the bus back. Overall experience was terrific.

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!

Musee d'Orsay is definitely worth a visit. There are so many beautiful art including Monet, Van Gogh etc. The current exhibitions, namely Gaudi and Aristide Maillol, is excellent. I did not know the work of Aristide Maillol and I was very impressed with the style of his work.

Skip the line is the way to go to access miser d’orsay. However it was still a little crowded inside. I nonetheless, it made entering with reluctant teenagers much easier. We went straight to the impressionists, and loved being in the gorgeous space. Stayed 1.5 hours.

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.

I bought this ticket just the day before. When I got there, the usherette told me that I should enter entrance A instead of C. She explained that there have been recent changes. Aside from that, everything was a breeze. I skipped the line and saved time.
Likely to sell out. Book in advance!
