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.

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.

Everything was in order. Received ticket with easy access. No waiting in line. People outside the museum directed us promptly. Only issue was crowds once in the museum, especially in the Impressionist floor. We went at 11 o’clock. We were only in Paris for the day so didn’t have a lot of flexibility of time. Would recommend investigating peak times and avoid them.

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 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.

Great experience definitely suggest getting the skip the line tickets. It’s a beautiful museum but they don’t have all the Van Gogh’s right now, some are on loan. The only issue is getting a “flow” as you go through, it’s not exceptionally organized. May be better with an audio guide.

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!

The museum is really fantastic! We spent hours there. Seeing the paintings for the first time was awesome. Be prepared with comfortable shoes you wont want to leave until closing time. Lunch at the 2nd floor restaurant was really good, food was interesting and tasty.

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.
Likely to sell out. Book in advance!
