Reviews for Paris: Orsay Museum Entry Ticket
Loved it.
Ann_B
Loved the museum and saw a lot of famous impressionist portraits. Beautiful building and lots to see.
No guide... no entry ticket
Elaine_B
Viator tours only good when you have a guide to read the voucher to get the ticket. Got to Musee D'Orsay, no one available to provide the actual entrance ticket, so after over an hour of searching for an agent, we had to purchase tickets at the museum.
Lovely museum
Donna_M
The impressionist paintings were our primary reason for visiting and they did not disappoint! We also loved the view through the clocks across to the Louvre, great photo opportunity. Getting in was easy, there were no lines and the museum was not crowded so November was a great time to go.
Quick and easy
David_C
This ticket was quick and easy. It was for entry only to the museum. We bypassed the lines and after a security check it was an easy process to enter the museum.
Highly recommended
Karrista
Entry worked so well through TripAdvisor and their provider Paris Odyssey. We were able to skip the queue, taking about 10 minutes on a Saturday. Allowed access both to the permanent and temporary exhibitions. No restriction on entry time and the price was reasonable. Tickets were sent online, late the evening before. . *Tickets were sold out directly from the museum.
