Take another tour
The guide, Anne, was not good at all, did not explain ANYTHING, rushed to finish the tour. I feel it was a complete waste of money, would not recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Monika, Thank you for your comment. We are very sorry to hear that the guide did not meet your expectations. We are quite surprised by what happened; nevertheless, we have forwarded your comment to the relevant department so they can investigate the situation, as the quality of the experience we offer our customers is very important to us. We would also like to clarify that the tour you booked only included a guided visit to the Louvre Museum, while the visit to the Musée d’Orsay is self-guided. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another occasion and provide you with a much better experience. Kind regards, Extime Travel

Worse tour
False advertisement , the duration of the tour less than 1 hour. Tour guy not informative and in top of all i choose English speaking and most of the tour was in spanish. i paid for a 2 hour tour and viator is refusing to issue a credit back... when i complained they told me I need to contact viator or called a # in France.

The guide was very nice...
The guide was very nice although did walk a little fast for a few in our group. However, the tour was advertised as 2-3 hours but lasted 50 minutes, including a group bathroom break. It would have been helpful to be given a map as the tour ended outside the room with the Mona Lisa and we didn’t know where to go next.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4,628 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option?
+
Around 1,620 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Louvre Museum Guided Tour with Orsay Museum Ticket Option start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
