Orsay

WW_W, Mar 2026
The museum is popular and therefore crowded. But it’s the best collection of impressionist art in the world.

Don’t Use Viator

Judy_C, Jan 2026
Got tickets for the Musee d Orsay that was supposed to include audio. Downloaded the audio app entered the provided code EXACTLY as instructed and it said “ The reservation not found”. Tried many many times to no avail. Went to the museum anyway with no audio and I wouldn’t suggest going without audio you need it!! Upon returning from the museum reached out to Viator customer service(if you can call it that!). They kept saying that they were able to get the audio with my reservation number and would not budge. I tried to reach a fair conclusion and I asked for 50% refund on both our tickets. I sent them screenshots as proof. Just awful customer service!!! I had read the horrible reviews about Viator and sadly took a chance…. NEVER again will I use Viator.

Loved the exhibition of impressionists. All the impressionists you can think of you can see them. The old train station building is very beautiful.

William_C, Oct 2025
We did not get the audio guide that we paid for. The link sent did not work and at the museum we were told their audio guide was not part of our ticket

Amazing collection of world famous art work! Spectacular, everyone should get to experience this. The audio guide was great!

nina_B, Oct 2025
Did not give time slot so had to wait on long lines. Still needed boxes from front desk. You must buy trip with time attached

Must See Orsay

emilym, Oct 2025
Such a beautiful museum with so many famous art pieces. Need to come back and spend more time couldn’t see it all.

Easy tickets for Musee d’ Orsay.

Jane_G, Sep 2025
We went in the afternoon. We liked not having a timed ticket. We could go anytime we wanted! Very busy inside in September, but we were able to get inside with no problems.

5to floor Orsay

Kim_B, Sep 2025
Loved looking at artwork I was so familiar with, especially on the 5th floor. Be patient , wait till you can get the spot in front of the clock, have someone take your pic for the coolest “instagram” silhouetted shot to remember your trip

D'orsey... Don't pay for audio guide!! Musee d'orsay does not honor this voucher!!

And_F, Aug 2025
I paid for audio guide, but when I got to the audio guide stand, they said viator is invalid to receive the audio guide. I paid for this services I did not receive! Had to pay 12 euros at the museum because viator let me down.

Way to crowded

Carol_S, Aug 2025
Way to crowded too enjoy. I've seen more Monet and Van Gogh at other museums and special exhibits, with less crowds. Also, could not get the audio tour to work. The app asked for a reference code, not to choose a museum name as instructed. I tried the codes seen on my ticket and they didn't work. So that was a bummer.

Viator there when we needed it.

Brian_I, Aug 2025
Tickets sold out on official site (for the day we wanted) so booked our visit on Viator as I wanted a ticket “in-hand” before showing up. We didn’t do the audio guide (that came with this purchase) but chose instead to get the headsets from inside the museum (6 Euro x 2). We spent 3 hours there (had lunch on the 5th floor which was great IMHO). Thanks Viator for being there when we needed tickets even though they cost a bit more. Had a flex ticket (no set time) and there was an entrance for tickets with no set time.

Love the museum but was...

Sherryn_P, Aug 2025
Love the museum but was very disappointed because I was unable to get the audio to work and The information tiles for the museum didn’t match up with the numbers at the museum

The audio guide was thru...

Paul_S, Jul 2025
The audio guide was thru a separate merchant. We did not bring our phones to the museum and could not use the audio portion of our ticket. Instead we purchased separately an audio guide.

Great Access the Audio Tour Programming Needs Work

Robert_S, May 2025
Access to Musee D’Orsay was fantastic. I was unimpressed with the audio tour. Ee could not access info on key works of art.

Audio guide confusing

Brad_M, May 2025
Couldn't figure out how to get the audio guide. Was hoping it would be there at the museum. I guess you have to download it to your phone! I still don't know how it was supposed to work. That was the only thing wrong. The museum was beautiful.

Prepaid entry to the Orsay

Lynn_K, Apr 2025
It was not necessary to pay extra to buy this entry to the Orsay. It was not crowded and if we had just showed up we could have gotten in for less money. Great musuem!

Disappointed

Becky_G, Apr 2025
We chose the online audio, which didn't keep up with our walk through the galleries. A few times, it was helpful. Most of the time, there was no description provided for the art we were viewing.

Buy the tickets, skip the guide.

Eric_H, Apr 2025
Musée d’Orsay is a must see. Definitely buy your tickets ahead of time. Saved us an hour in line. The audio deal that’s part of this is awful. The numbers on the paintings don’t match the audio guide and many of the top paintings didn’t have commentary. Should have just bought the guide in Orsay.

Viator gave us tickets...

Richard_Z, Apr 2025
Viator gave us tickets that they were not allowed to print and they were not accepted at the museum. Now in process of seeking refund.0

As expected.

Sarah_B, Mar 2025
Exactly what was advertised. Tickets to the museum, go as you will. Audio tour included, no guide. We were pleased with this experience.

Great for entry but audio guide was not easy to use and was missing content

Janella_M, Feb 2025
The ticket was easy to use and the line was reasonable. The audio guide was very difficult to use and several of the numbers on various pieces were not included in the app.

I only booked it the...

Louise_J, Jan 2025
I only booked it the tickets at the site were sold out. There was no need to book via Viator otherwise.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We understand that booking through third-party platforms like Viator may not always seem necessary when tickets are available elsewhere. However, many of our guests choose this option specifically for dates or time slots that may no longer be available on the official site. In addition to the museum entry, our service includes advance booking, digital ticket delivery via multiple channels, and customer support before and during your visit—all designed to provide a smooth and reliable experience, especially during busy periods when direct availability is limited. We appreciate your comments and thank you for choosing us for your visit to the Louvre. GTT Reservation Team Ceren

Do not go for the river cruise package. Too many people!

INSUN_Y, Dec 2024
The museum part was ok. Timed entry tickets. It took us about 30 minutes to get in. The river cruise part was a waste because we couldn’t get on the boat since there was a line over 100 meters long.. We were hoping to get on the last cruise but no success that night.. Everyone trying to get on the cruise at night. They should have sold the tickets for specific time. I asked Viator for a partial refund but they denied it..

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that your visit to the Orsay Museum went smoothly, though we’re sorry that you were unable to board the Seine River cruise. Please note that, as clearly stated on the tour page, the Seine cruise operates on a flexible, open-ticket basis and may be crowded during peak periods—especially in the evening hours when many travelers prefer to enjoy the illuminated views of Paris. Boarding depends on availability at the time of arrival, and during busy hours, wait times can be longer or access may be limited. We appreciate your comments and will continue to improve our communication to help guests plan their visits more effectively. GTT Reservation Team Ceren

Worth it

jmbellig, Dec 2024
We didn’t use the audio but the advance tickets on a day they were sold out was WORTH IT also the line was shorter with these tickets. Win for a family of 7!

Magnifique après-midi !!

Amy_K, Nov 2024
We were able to skip the hour-long line and enjoy the Musee D’Orsay strolling by incredible works of art!!

Great value to skip the line

Teresa_Y, Oct 2024
We decided to visit one day before. All time slots in the official site are full. We purchased thru Viator & skip the long lineup. Very happy

Beautiful artwork

Sandra_B, Oct 2024
Beautiful galleries of artwork. The view from the huge clock is worth going upstairs for. Our ticket voucher wouldn’t load but we had a nice ticket taker who figured it out. He said it happens all the time with Viator.

Worth every cent!

Madeleine_B, Oct 2024
I was so happy to get my untimed entry ticket. Museum opened at 9:30am, and I was in the line at 9:20am in the museum at 9:35am . Even though there were very long lines to get in, my line was super quick and I was able to get up to the top floor to take my photos, one of the first to enter. Therefore highly recommend .

Orsay great audio guide not good

Karen_G, Oct 2024
Sad to report that while it favorable to enter the museum and not wait in line… The audio guide was NOT matching the artwork. We tried to use audio guide different ways but eventually decided to purchase the museum headphones. Because the artwork in the guide is organized by level and doesn’t often match the artwork in the room. Its not user friendly at all. The audio guide is also not up to date. For example Starry night is in London until mid Jan 2025. But listed in the audio guide.
