Fue genial. Tienen que entrar por El Carrusel que es como un vector comercial que está abajo de la pirámide. Por ahí casi no hay gente, la entrada fue súper rápida. Vayan temprano para aprovechar el día.

We got in really quickly—since I’d already bought the ticket through the app—and had no trouble getting in. The only downside was that we didn’t get an audio guide, but in the end it wasn’t a problem because if you like art and have heard of some of the painters and sculptors, you’ll enjoy spending over three hours inside the museum. You enter through the Sally Hall, and they ask you to scan the QR code sent by the app itself, so from there you can start enjoying the entire museum. The map in Spanish (my native language) tells you which room to go to, and before you know it, you’re standing in front of the Mona Lisa. Then you go down the stairs, and the sculpture gallery is (in my opinion) the highlight of the museum, passing through the paintings by Italian artists—it’s huge! If you can schedule a visit in the morning, that’s best, because the groups that start pouring in suddenly don’t let you admire everything you come across along the way. It’s definitely a great app for getting into the museum—it’s worth noting that this alone is enough to enjoy everything it has to offer. I highly recommend it—you go at your own pace, taking in everything it has to offer, and before you know it, you’ve been inside for three hours! I bought the ticket the day before and it was the only slot available—is it worth it? Yes, it takes a little while for them to send you the codes so you can enter, but it’s very secure and reliable. I definitely recommend it—it’s fast and they accept all credit cards. Don’t hesitate to get your tickets here.

Visiting the Louvre Museum is not just a museum experience — it feels like stepping into the heartbeat of human creativity. Every corridor carries whispers of centuries, every gallery unfolds a new chapter of our collective imagination. What makes the Louvre truly unforgettable is not only its iconic masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, but the quiet, almost sacred moments between them — when you turn a corner and suddenly stand face to face with something you didn’t expect, yet somehow deeply recognize. The architecture itself is a dialogue between past and present: the grandeur of the historic palace embracing the modern elegance of the glass pyramid. It’s a place where time doesn’t just pass — it layers. Yes, it’s vast. Yes, it can be crowded. But if you allow yourself to slow down, to wander without a strict plan, the Louvre rewards you with something rare — a personal connection to art that feels timeless. I didn’t just leave with photos. I left with a feeling — that I had briefly lived inside history. ⸻ If you want, I can make a shorter version for Google reviews or a more emotional/poetic one ✨

We used Headout for two excursions while in Paris on the same day. The booking process was very straight forward. We booked the Louvre for 1:00 p.m. It was really easy to find our line and start the tour on time. While we waited, we had delicous capuccino and a cheese plate in the cafe that overlooked the courtyard entrance to the Louvre. We thought two hours would be plenty in the Louvre, but we honestly could have spent the day there. Next, we went to the Eiffel Tower followed by a cruise on the Seine. We met our amazing tour guide Emanuel just outside Paris TRIP at 4:45 after another some champaign and, yes, more cheese at a nearby cafe. Paris TRIP was easy to find, the staff were extremely organized, and the instructions were clear. Emanuel walked us to the tower telling all kinds of interesting facts, engaging the group with trivia, and providing entrance and safety tips. He was excellent to keep an eye on everyone in the big crowds. Excellent guide! Thanks Emanuel!

Booking is very easy and intuitive. I even found a cheaper price than on the official website. Plus, even though the tickets seemed to be sold out, this site accepted my booking and confirmed my ticket purchase the next day. All in all, I’d describe my experience as very positive: I found the tickets at a lower price. Hooray for Headout!

The brilliant thing was: we “only” had tickets for the Michelangelo/Rodin special exhibition, yet we were still able to explore the entire Louvre (which, of course, is impossible to do in one go). We’d love to come back next time. It was clear that there would be such huge crowds and that we’d have to proceed very methodically; traffic-jam-like conditions are inevitable on weekends.

    The tour was as I expected - a great introduction to a beautiful city However I wasn't given a map or audio phones on entry and had to use some I had with me which were too short. Another passenger kindly gave me her map. The driver seemed to be impatient to finish his shift and swung around some of the corners so that we had to hang on to keep our seats. The seats are very hard.
