Planned entrance at 10 o'clock from the pyramid . We arrived at 9:40 and within 15 minutes we were inside. I got my tickets 24 hours in advance. I still recommend a guided tour given the vastness of the works to be seen.

We got in in only 10 mins even though the line up outside was massive. Thankfully they let us in late (1h) since wile missed our exact time due to flight delays. Audio guide was great and even navigates you through the museum which is so helpful

A memorable experience among priceless works of art. I saw works that I studied in school and had never seen live, I found it all very personally engaging and emotional to the point of tears. The only negative note was standing in line for more than an hour despite the fact that I purchased a ticket that cost twice as much and guaranteed a line skip.

Worried by the negative reviews I feared I had lost money and been scammed because the tickets were not arriving and it was 2 hours before the visit, through chat I managed, by insisting, to have my questions answered and receive them on time. Louvre and Seine River Cruise. The next day I booked at the Gare d'orsay and everything went smoothly.

The tickets for the Louvre Museum arrived only a few hours before. The audio guide was to be taken on site by standing in line for the ticket and a second line for pickup in all 1 hour. For the d orsay museum, access was not priority and we had to stand in a very long line. It is necessary to be clearer at the time of purchase. The audio guide usable with app is definitely incomplete the major works lack description. This was also not understandable at the time of purchase.

The Muesum is really awesome. Enjoyed every second in it. The part that is not so cool is the long waiting despite of having tickets for specific time entrance. We visited with two children and it was really freezing. We stood for almost an hour before entering, around 13:15 h. We would appreciate it if you had a special lane for parents with smaller children when visiting in winter time.

The outcome was positive BUT we were promised that the tickets would arrive in 4 hours the day BEFORE the tour. They did not. We repeatedly requested that they be sent. Finally, on the day of the tour they arrived. It was a stressful experience but it worked out. Poor communication. The chat function was useless.

The visit itself was very good. But the access to get in!!! Despite a reservation, the queue was 300 meters long and still long. Very poor signage, the organization of the queues should be reviewed with large digitalized panels with timetables that can move with the advance of the hour...

Point on a map in the application is showing wron position for the museum entrance. It shows totally different building, the hotel, located in 2 subway stops from the correct enter.

Der Ablauf des Einlasses und die Sicherheitskontrolle war sehr gut organisiert. Die Ausstellung ist überwältigend vor allem beeindruckt das Alter einzelner Ausstellungsstücke. Ein einzelnes Bild oder Austellungsstück hervorzuheben würde den anderen nicht gerecht werden. Natürlich ist vor der Mona Lisa zu stehen sehr emotional.

Seeing Paris from the Seine was awesome. They did a good job of explaining the different sites and buildings we were passing. We especially liked the end when we passed the Statue of Liberty and we could see both that and the Eiffel Tower. Amazing. This cruise will definitely be in my memory book!

The Seine river cruise was comfortable and very interesting - 4.5 stars. The Eiffel Tower booking got rebooked from a 10.30am booking to a 8.30am booking on the same day - because of weather conditions. Clearly the weather would be similar at both these times. Moreover, even though we had a booked 8.30am slot, we were made to wait in the non ticket holder queue, and actually didn't get to the elevator of the Eiffel Tower until 10am. Waiting in the cold outdoor conditions with 2 young children was not ideal - there seemed to be no advantage to booking through Headout - we could have just joined this queue ourselves - 2 stars for the Eiffel Tower.

My Disneyland Paris trip was truly magical from start to finish. The rides offered the perfect mix of thrill and nostalgia, while the parades and fireworks brought the Disney magic to life in unforgettable ways. The park’s incredible attention to detail, combined with its European charm, made every corner feel like a dream. It’s an experience I’ll cherish forever, and I can’t wait to return!

I have been fine with this site, the only thing I don't know if it has to be done compulsorily is to convert the tickets on the disneyland app. Headout gives you a qr to enter anyway. Otherwise the app is easy to use and efficient

What made it unforgettable were the lines, too many people, too crowded,out of the 10 hours we were at the park more than half of us spent in line and then everything too expensive unfortunately, starting from the ticket and then the things to drink/eat.I can understand souvenirs, if I want them I have to pay for them at the established price, but eating and drinking must be more affordable since for my family I spent more than 400 euros I expect not to have to spend another 100 for first necessity

River cruise was a very nice experience (there was a snow storm that day and it was great to be under a roof and still enjoy the views around you). Our Eiffel Tower tour was rescheduled because of the weather conditions and the tower was closed that day. The customer service was really compliant and responsive and they rescheduled the tour really quickly. The instructions to the meeting points were clear and our guide in Eiffel was super friendly and helpful. Really recommend!!

Good but crowded. Park full. Buzz Lightyear and Smallworld are our favorite attractions. Problem scanning QrCode at entrance. Your tickets on smartphones are on more pages. In the end, the gantry bugged and one person didn't get in. A one-page SNCF ticket would be better.

The Seine River Dinner Cruise is perfect for couples as it is a very romantic experience. You can enjoy delicious French food and wine, accompanied by live music as you see the city come to life around you.
Do cruises operate year-round?
Yes, Seine River cruises operate throughout the year, though schedules may be adjusted based on seasonal considerations.
If I take a meal-based Seine River cruise, will I be able to get vegetarian food?
Yes, vegetarian options are available on meal-based Seine River cruises.
Do boats have restrooms?
Yes, Seine cruise ships are equipped with clean restrooms. Larger boats, especially those used for dining and longer cruises, often have multiple restrooms, sometimes even separate facilities for men and women. On smaller sightseeing boats, there might be a single unisex restroom.
Is the cruise wheelchair and stroller accessible?
Many boats from all the boat operators have wheelchair ramps and space for strollers. For sightseeing cruises, the primary challenge might be navigating through the crowd, especially during peak tourist seasons. The piers at the Bateaux Parisiens and the Bateaux-Mouches have disabled restrooms and an access ramp onto the boat.
Is there inside seating?
Many boats have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Open-air top decks provide the best views, as we know. Now, when it comes to inside seating, it is usually within a glass-covered area, giving you unobstructed views of the Parisian skyline and also protecting you from the elements.
Do Seine River cruises have live commentary?
Some cruises feature live guides who provide a more personalized and interactive narration, while others use pre-recorded audio guides. This commentary is generally offered in multiple languages through headphones or speakers, and helps you understand the rich history, architecture, and cultural significance of the landmarks viewed.
Can I choose my departure dock?
Tickets are generally tied to specific departure docks. But getting to the dock is fairly quick from central Paris locations. While Bateaux Parisiens depart from Eiffel Tower, Bateaux Mouches depart from Pont de l’Alma, which is at a 15 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower.
Millions love heading out with us

You never had to wait long for the bus, there was always a seat available!
We wouldn't book the cruise again with small children, it was a bit boring for the kids

It was easy to get around all the most important sites were nearby the route but there is so much to see that we have to comeback. I do recommend a 2 days hop in/out

It was good to be able to avoid a lot of the queues. We were impressed by the historical building of the Louvre and the combination with the modern additions and extensions.

Visiting the Musée Grévin was an extraordinary adventure, worthy of an enchanted fairy tale! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt the excitement of a 10-year-old discovering a world of wonders. Each room revealed a fascinating universe, populated by life-size characters so realistic that I began to wonder if one of them might wink at me.
The ride was so captivating that I found myself conversing with Albert Einstein about complex equations, while sharing a laugh with Charlie Chaplin. The sumptuous decor added to the magic of the whole, transforming a simple visit into an unforgettable spectacle.
Buying my ticket online was a blessing, a veritable magic potion of simplicity that allowed me to devote all my energy to endless wonder. In short, the Musée Grévin is a journey through time and imagination, a dazzling success that will sparkle in your memories for years to come!

I loved the cruise trip. The route is good as well as the food and atmosphere.
The meeting place is not a popular place. The sign is clear,we did not have problem to find it. However, it made us confused without seeing any cruise ship when we arrived at the meeting point. It could be better if add the cruise ship arriving time in the sign.
