My partner and I had a wonderful experience booking our Louvre Museum visit and Seine River cruise through Headout! Both experiences were easy to navigate and made for an unforgettable day in Paris. We started with our 12:30 PM Louvre Museum visit. Outside the museum, there are designated meeting points, so just look for the sign displaying your scheduled entry time and head to that location. The process was quick, easy, and much more convenient than purchasing tickets on-site. The general admission line was extremely long, so booking ahead through Headout definitely saved us time. We ended our night with the Seine River cruise, taking the last departure at 10:00 PM. This was such a beautiful way to experience Paris at night. Seeing the locals enjoying the river, the stunning architecture and illuminated buildings along the waterfront, and, of course, the Eiffel Tower from the river was breathtaking. It was a perfect way to wind down the evening. Overall, we highly recommend both experiences! Headout made booking convenient, the Louvre was everything we hoped it would be, and the nighttime Seine cruise was the perfect ending to our day. If you’re visiting Paris, definitely add these two experiences to your itinerary!

The purchase process was simple and made entry to the Louvre easy. Additional audio guide was insightful but the Louvre offered a more extensive guide which I will use next visit

On a quick trip to Paris with lots of sights to see we were closed out of the Louvre. The particular week we were there the Lourve required reservations. Nothing was available for the days we were free. Reading so many warnings about fraudulent ticket brokers I was concerned about buying through a third party. Headout is real. Nothing to worry about. It cost just a little more than buying directly, but they had available tickets. We were able to access the museum at our preferred time. I take one star away because of the audio guide that came with the package I bought. Not worth it. If in this situation again, I would use Headout.

The organization for entry to the Louvre was very good, and it wasn't overly crowded either. Naturally, the room where the Mona Lisa hangs was quite packed. The museum map is also good, even if it's not entirely easy to find the right rooms, and the weather turned out great as well.

The great experience began with how easy it was to purchase tickets, and continued with the entry time for the attraction being respected. A spectacular place, well worth a visit.

It was really worth it! For one thing, we spent an hour (or more) less waiting in line because we were allowed to enter through a second "VIP" entrance. But even apart from that, I highly recommend it, as you're completely lost in this huge building without a guide and can't really appreciate the significance of the collections. It's also only 1 hour, which means you still have the energy and time afterward to explore the Louvre on your own. Our guide Andrea made the whole thing a very pleasant, lovely, stress-free experience and answered all our questions and everything. Thanks again!

Everything was really easy and worked out great. Only thing: it would have been helpful to state clearly whether these were the actual admission tickets or if you receive them on-site with the voucher — it said one thing in one place, and something else in another. Other than that, we got tickets even though it was already sold out everywhere else.
