No tour guide, just tickets, but it worked fine for us. No troubles using our tickets. Great museum!

We booked a museum tour, but unfortunately the museum was closed unexpectedly on the day we booked because of a technical issue. The local tour provider and Viator were very gracious, offered us other options and when those didn’t work they were very quick to refund our money in full. Although we were disappointed we couldn’t go to the museum the customer service from the tour operator and Viator was excellent.

Great outing on a hot day. Did the boat tour in the morning, then to Rodin’s Garden and Museum and then lunch at the Musée d’Orsay and a couple of hours visiting the exhibits.
Shannon_S, May 2026
We had a great entry experience. Viator provided us with a complimentary audio guide, however, the audio guide was just a detailed hour long history of the building and nothing about the art.
Erich_S, May 2026
It was a passionless tour of one of the great museums in the world. The guide was fine, but no passion, no great stories and tried to cover too much in two hours. For $500, I would say it was overpriced.

Wonderful experience on the private tour. We had only one day available to visit the Orsay and all the standard tickets were sold out so we opted for the private tour and it was worth every penny. Our guide Nermine was extremely knowledgeable and made and effort to incorporate our interests and knowledge. She also knew how to navigate around the crowds and show us the highlights and some hidden treasures. Saved tons of time and learned so much more than we would on our own. Thank you!!

Great experience! Went straight to priority line - zero wait and super easy process! Highly recommend and saved valuable Paris time!

Excellent guide-Linda. We had a great experience!!! She gave us a very thorough tour. Additional info about DaVinci.

This is only a ticket to Musee d’ Orsay. We booked because it was sold out. Great museum and loved the Sargent exhibit!
Heather_W, Jan 2026
Lovely museum, tickets didn’t load. Had to navigate getting tickets with the barcode and reach out while in line, and had to wait in another line because we didn’t have the correct tickets. It was new Years Day, so no one answered the phone # we were directed to call. Thankfully someone responded (rather quickly) via the chat message. But still, not as seamless as I’d have hoped. Recommend booking directly thru the Museum site, instead.

We had not booked tickets until advance and when we checked on the day we wanted to visit the Musee d’Orsay, tickets were sold out for the whole week ahead. This Viator option carries a premium, but worth it if you left things to the last minute and want a time slot ticket.

This museum was amazing very beautiful very different from our contemporary ones that we see today. The use of an old train station was amazing.
JC_H, Nov 2025
Benito is very passionate and knowledgeable about art and history. He led us on a curated journey through the Orsay, explaining the progression of the artworks and their impact on each subsequent piece. We had an excellent, engaged tour. Highly recommend!
Raymond_K, Nov 2025
Although we received an email stating that we should ignore the name on the ticket (it was not our name), it was still a little confusing and made us a little anxious until we went through the gate.
Nancy_S, Nov 2025
Everything went very well and the instructions were easy to follow. Made for a great experience at the museum
James_R, Oct 2025
You should deal with the museum directly. These tickets have a significant markup and they say they come with an audio guide but they do not. You are on your own. The museum told us there is nothing they can do as these guys buy tickets and then mark them up 100%.
Jim_G, Oct 2025
Make sure to purchase tickets well in advance in order to avoid standing in long lines. The impressionist sections are well worth the money.
Sharon_O, Oct 2025
This is a beautiful, modern art museum! Our four grandchildren, ages 7-14 enjoyed seeing the Impressionist artists’ work on canvas and sculptures.
Barbara_S, Oct 2025
Musee d’Orsay was one of the best museum experiences we have had. A wonderful building beautifully displaying beautiful art. The architecture of the building is something to visit and see. And what a treat to experience the very well curated John Singer Sargent exhibit - brilliant!
Diane_D, Sep 2025
Great museum. Impressionists did not disappoint. Lots to see and plenty of gift shops. And the personnel were most helpful. Audio headset did not work after paying an extra 6 euros
Rebecca_B, Sep 2025
Purchasing the fast line to get was the way to go. Everything was very easy and the communication was very clear.
Irene_F, Sep 2025
Do not waste your money on buying the extra video as it’s a historical overview and not a guide to the museum
KathrynJane_M, Sep 2025
Not the easiest facility to move through (and find toilets!) if you have mobility issues. And a staff member open the toilet door while I was in there.
Nancy_L, Aug 2025
Really enjoyed the Impressionists exhibit. Particularly Monet. Toulouse-LaTrec was also very interesting.
Mary_P, Aug 2025
Leisurely. Great way to see this fabulous museum. Great food in the restaurant. Explanations clear around the artwork.
Kathleen_P, Aug 2025
This was NOT worth it. It is half the price to just buy the ticket at Admissions and the audio guide in the museum. There was no line! No value add here by buying through Viator.
Michele_F, Aug 2025
You can probably enter the location earlier than the ticket time Museum opens at 9:30 and gets very crowded as the day goes on Hit the floors you really want to see first
Theresa_B, Jul 2025
Our guide, Yulia, was fabulous. Knowledgeable about the museum and how to navigate in the most efficient way. Highly recommend!
Brian_C, Jul 2025
This worked great. We got in 15 minutes early. Museum. Be careful in the neighborhood. We had a phone taken but solid on going police action got it back.
Robert_H, Jun 2025
In June 2025, the museum was crowded and hot. People were literally elbow to elbow. Impressionist's works are on the 5th floor, and there are no elevators. Escalators only go down. I've seen better traveling displays for Monet and van Gogh in the USA.
