    Need more specific information

    Jaymin_S, Apr 2026
    I made a phone call to get my tickets, but I didn’t receive any proper information about where to get them. After waiting for more than 30 minutes, I finally found out where I needed to go.

    Joshua_M, Apr 2026
    It’s just a ticket to the museum. The wording is misleading that there’s direct access to the Mona Lisa.

    A scam

    Jan_M, Apr 2026
    This site I got tickets from is a scam. I was sold fake tickets which I only discovered once I got there. Lady at counter said sorry - fake.

    The tickets we bought...

    Helen_B, Apr 2026
    The tickets we bought were not valid when we went to enter the Louvre. Viator have refused us a refund.

    Awful

    Ashley_D, Apr 2026
    We contacted Viator after looking at the reviews. We thought it was a guided tour it was not. No guide waiting. Our tickets got us in and that was it. Also book Viator on our trip around the world so very disappointed this time.

    Louvre voucher very misleading and false directions!

    Candi_M, Apr 2026
    . Very vague directions on meeting place at Louvre. No one showed up. Called number on my voucher and was told Viator did not have my booking for the Louvre ! Why did they send me a voucher with their logo in top of the page? Another 3 ladies had the same trouble. I called again and no one answered the phone. No info on the What’s App! Finally was sent the info for entry…after 1 hour of our inter time for entry! Totally disappointed in Viator over this.

    This is JUST a ticket to...

    Rachael_M, Mar 2026
    This is JUST a ticket to the museum. Should have just purchased at museum on arrival. Did not include audio/guide.

    My wife paints on canvas, and today Paris painted a beautiful memory for us at the Louvre on our 25th anniversary.

    MANOJ_K, Mar 2026
    Our visit to the Louvre was a memorable experience, especially since we were in Paris for our 25th wedding anniversary. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the explanations of the major artworks helped us appreciate the museum much more than we would have on our own. Seeing iconic works such as the Mona Lisa and other masterpieces was truly special for us. However, as first-time visitors to Paris, locating the exact meeting point initially was a bit challenging. While the instructions and location details were shared in advance, the Louvre area is very large and crowded, which can make it confusing for newcomers. Suggestion: It would be very helpful if a representative from Viator could be present at the designated meeting point to guide visitors and confirm the tour location. Having someone there, even briefly, would make the process much smoother and more reassuring for first-time travellers. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a memorable part of our anniversary trip to Paris.

    Late ticket

    Oscar_M, Mar 2026
    We’ve paid the ticket but it arrived late. We arrived at the venue early but have to wait for the ticket to arrive via email. I called the office but nobody is answering my call. Finally somebody answered my call after so many attempts and emailed the ticket after 10 minutes and missed our time.

    Not good experience

    selam_f, Mar 2026
    Your instruction is horrible. No specific spot to meet or who to look for. My appointment was 9:30 and finally you sent my tickets @9:36.

    Horrible experience

    shamelbernard, Feb 2026
    This was a horrible experience I traveled across the country and did get the tickets. Waited online for an hour in the rain to find out the tickets were never sent. I would not recommend buying these tickets here.

    Canceled without Notice

    Samantha_E, Feb 2026
    The tour was canceled because of a possible strike. There was no strike the louvre was open but the tour was still canceled and tickets were sold out so we were unable to go in at all. Extremely disappointing.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Dear Samantha, We are truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with your Louvre Museum booking. We understand how disappointing it must have been to have your tour canceled unexpectedly, especially when the museum was open and tickets were sold out. At World Pass Tour, we strive to provide accurate updates and seamless experiences, and it deeply concerns us that this situation caused frustration. We sincerely apologize for any miscommunication regarding the cancellation. Please contact our support team directly at your earliest convenience so we can review your case and provide an appropriate solution or compensation. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we want to make this right. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to restore your trust in our service. Warm regards, World Pass Tour Team 🌍

    Best service provider

    Jennifer_J, Feb 2026
    Best service and must visit museum in the Paris Got the tickets on when it not available any where and our group guide is very supportive

    Guide never showed.

    Matthew_L, Feb 2026
    After purchasing tickets for this experience, I was never sent the email confirmation that provided the tickets. It stated I was to meet the guide at 1000 to collect tickets, so I arrived at the meeting point. I then received a message from the guide stating that the Louvre was experiencing a strike and to meet at 1200 (not his fault, totally ok!!). Then upon my second arrival at 1200, I didn’t hear back from the guide after several chats to him. AFTER 1700, I received a chat stating that the experience was cancelled. I wasted almost an entire afternoon in Paris waiting on someone who never showed and never responded. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Dear Matthew, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. As communicated on the day of your visit, the Louvre Museum was affected by an unexpected strike, which caused a delayed opening and operational uncertainty that was entirely beyond our control. These strikes are decided by the museum authorities and can change hour by hour, making real-time adjustments unavoidable for all tour operators. Our guide informed you of the delay as soon as the situation was confirmed and did their best to manage the circumstances. Unfortunately, when the museum was unable to guarantee access even later in the day, the experience had to be cancelled to avoid further inconvenience. We fully understand that waiting is frustrating, especially while traveling, but it is important to note that this disruption was not due to negligence, absence, or lack of organization, but rather a force majeure event at one of the world’s busiest museums. We regret the impact this strike had on your plans and appreciate your understanding that such situations are outside the control of World Pass Tour and our guides. Kind regards, World Pass Tour

    Disappointment at The Louvre

    Sandra_K, Jan 2026
    I paid to enter at the Mona Lisa in order to avoid the crushing sea of “violent “ people who push their way up to see the painting. Not only did I not gain direct entry at that point, I was supposed to enter at 9:30 am but didn’t get in until close to 11:00 am. I also didn’t receive the audio tour I paid for in advance. I had to pay again upon my arrival! This is definitely not worth the price. Make certain you have time for this museum! There’s only one way in and one way out! It takes hours!!!!!

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Dear Sandra, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We would like to respectfully clarify that the Louvre Museum with Mona Lisa Direct Entry Experience provides priority access through the official fast-track entrance, not private or exclusive access directly in front of the Mona Lisa. Crowd levels inside the museum—especially around the Mona Lisa—are entirely managed by the Louvre and are beyond the control of any tour operator. Regarding your entry time, please note that security checks and crowd control measures imposed by the museum can occasionally cause delays, even for priority ticket holders. These procedures are mandatory for all visitors and are not influenced by World Pass Tour. As for the audio guide, the service is provided as described in the booking details. In some cases, museum-operated audio guides may require on-site collection following museum procedures. Unfortunately, on-site policies and availability are also controlled directly by the museum. We always strongly advise guests to allocate sufficient time for the Louvre, as it is one of the world’s largest and busiest museums with a single regulated entry and exit system, as clearly mentioned in our tour information. We regret that your expectations did not align with the museum experience, but we can confirm that the service provided was in accordance with the product description and museum regulations. Kind regards, World Pass Tour

    Terrible

    Alessia_M, Jan 2026
    This experience is a total scam! There’s no French speaking guide waiting for you and neither the audio guide is included. When we asked for the audio guide they told us that we had to pay for it since it wasn’t included in the entry ticket. Very disappointed, I don’t recommend it!!!

    Avoid - Scam

    roxanahefferon, Jan 2026
    No tickets sent and no communication on the day. No other provider at the Louvre knew of these people; we waited for an hour and left. Luckily Viator refunded us the money but I would not recommend this provider. Huge disappointment and the time lost we do not get back.

    Tour guide wasnt there.

    suriany_s, Jan 2026
    Absolutely horrible, we already arrived early and yet the tour guide didnt even come. Didnt respond when we contacted him multiple times, ignored our calls, and only responded after we called him about 5 times. Not recommended at all, there are better tour guides out there, dont choose this one.

    Horrible Experience

    Roger_H, Dec 2025
    Do not use this company! We paid over $140 for tickets and they claim it is just a hold for potentially getting a ticket. A week later they claim they can’t get tickets. I then reached out to Viator support and somehow this company found magical tickets once I said I was contacting support. At this time it was past when we were supposed to be in the museum so we checked with a customer service representative and she said they were not valid tickets. It’s a complete scam and should not be allowed on this platform!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting this situation must have been. For high-demand experiences such as the Louvre Museum with Mona Lisa Direct Entry, availability is subject to museum confirmation, especially during peak periods. We regret that this process was not clearly understood and that the communication did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that we do not operate as a scam, and tickets are only issued once officially confirmed by the museum. Unfortunately, delays or last-minute availability changes can occur, and we sincerely apologize if this resulted in confusion or inconvenience during your visit. Your feedback is taken very seriously, and we are continuously working to improve transparency, communication, and coordination to ensure a better experience for our guests. Kind regards, World Pass Tour Paris

    Waste of money!

    Lotte_S, Dec 2025
    We never managed to find out how/where to exchange tickets or find a guide in time. Hopeless guidance, link to tickets (that might have gotten us in) could not load, no response via support chat - super frustrating!!!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced and understand how frustrating this situation must have been. For this experience, entry details and ticket links are provided in advance through the booking confirmation, and our support team is available to assist guests in real time. Unfortunately, technical issues such as link loading errors or connectivity problems can occasionally occur, which may prevent access at the moment of entry.

Your comments are very important to us, and we will use this feedback to further improve our communication and on-ground guidance to ensure a smoother experience for future guests.

    Scam

    Never again

    Ozkan_Y, Jan 2026
    Never again with Viator. I arrived at 10.15 instead of 10am for the meeting point to start the activity at 10.30. No one and no one is answering the Assitance chat anymore. I had to buy a new ticket. It's unfortunate.

    Hello Ozkan, We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. As stated in the booking information, the meeting point and scheduled time must be strictly respected in order to guarantee access to the activity. In the event of a late arrival after the indicated time, it is unfortunately possible that the staff may no longer be present and access can no longer be ensured. Our support service remains available during operating hours; however, during periods of high attendance, a response delay may exceptionally occur. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We remain available should you require any additional information. Kind regards, World Pass Tour Paris

    Mariana_R, Jan 2026
