It was a super day. After Headout helped us transfer the tickets to a different email address because my old one broke, we were luckily still able to go. Upon arrival, we had to stand in line for our time slot, and it was extremely hot. The staff provided a lovely cool mist, which made the wait a lot more pleasant. Once inside, it was wonderfully cool. What a huge museum this is. As Dutch people, we naturally wanted to see the Mona Lisa first, so that was our first goal. When we arrived in the room, it was already super crowded in front of the painting, but even there, everything was extremely well organized. There were people keeping an eye on things to make sure everything went smoothly. Top job!

Orr interaction with our guide was great and our Louve experience was excellent. We met our guide at the scheduled meeting location near the glass pyramid. She was an excellent host and communicator. She walked us to the gate where we would enter the Louvre. During our walk from the meeting point to the Louvre entrance, she provided a brief overview of the Louvre museum. She provided us with our tickets and recommended that we only tour a portion of the Louvre since it typically takes several days to complete a full tour of the Louvre.

The app was easy to use. I got reminder emails. The entrance into the Louvre was simple. Have your ticket open, show the staff your arrival time, line up behind your time-slot sign and then they let you in. There is bag security, down the escalator and that's it, easy-peasy! Wonderful exhibits and big crowds, be prepared for the crowds. Don't forget to grab a museum map!

The visit was scheduled about ten days in advance. The entry time was respected and I didn't have to wait too long. I must say that I am fully satisfied with the experience with Headout.

The Louvre is elegant and vast, so it is best to go with a clear plan. We had one day to see the essentials, but we would recommend two days if you want to take your time a bit more. There is so much to see.
