We had no problems. The ticket from Headout worked well. We really liked the museum building and the way it was surrounded by plants. The exhibition content was interesting. There were a lot of visitors at the time of our visit, but it wasn't crowded

My girlfriend and I spent an absolutely magical day at Disneyland Paris, and the Halloween season makes it all the more incredible! Between the giant pumpkins, the Disney characters in costume and the decorations that transform the park, the atmosphere is both enchanting and chilling. Having the Fast Pass for both parks totally changed our experience: no stress, very little waiting, and the chance to enjoy both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios to the full. We took in the most popular attractions, enjoyed the Halloween shows and even took the time to savor the magical atmosphere without rushing. Special mention for the parade, the special effects, the luminous pumpkins at night, and of course the friendliness of the staff. All in all: a perfect day, full of laughter, thrills and magic - made even better with the Fast Pass. 🎃✨ If you're on the fence about going during the Halloween season... go for it, it's simply bewitching!

The whole process of selecting, ordering, processing and delivering the tickets was seamless. While I had the barcodes for entry and audio guide on my phone, the staff at the Picasso Museum were expecting a clearer separation between the entry and audio. A minor issue. We were very lucky, having selected a mid-day entry slot. I wonder if a "busier than usual" type of information could be added to the website to encourage people to select less busy times or, if a specific time is required, to know what to expect.

Excellent visit to the Cheese museum. Very competent and friendly team. We spent a delightful hour learning about the different varieties of French cheeses and the reasons behind the textures, taste etc.. We learned about cheese making, viewed demonstrations and tasted different cheeses. All the explanations and demonstrations were clear, easy to understand and in a very relaxed atmosphere with a lot of good humor. Also, as a plus, very very close to Notre Dame, the Sacred Chapel and many other important Parisian sites.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely magical experience at the Grévin Wax Museum in Paris! The moment you step inside, you’re transported into a world where imagination meets artistry. Every wax figure is crafted with incredible precision — it truly feels like the celebrities, historical icons, and movie characters are right there with you! From walking the red carpet to standing beside legends like Brad Pitt, Beyoncé, or Napoleon, every room tells a story and captures a moment in time. The interactive exhibits and lighting effects make the entire visit feel alive and immersive. It’s not just a museum — it’s an experience full of fun, laughter, and “wow” moments for both adults and kids. If you’re in Paris, don’t miss this gem! It’s the perfect mix of history, pop culture, and art, beautifully presented in a way that only the French can do. ✨

The ability to go at your own pace and not be rushed through the space was very nice. It wasn't overly crowded because of how they staggered the tour groups, so this was helpful if you wanted to linger a bit longer in one spot.

No waiting time and considerate visitors. I spared myself the weapons museum and made full use of the time for the Invalides and the Rodin Museum.
