It was especially crowded today at the Orsay museum and the long non-ticketed line was estimated to take 45 minutes to get through, so I was very happy to have my special pass thanks to Head out. My wait time was perhaps five minutes and after I showed the bar code on my phone I was in the museum. I went to see the special exhibit - John Singer Sargent - that was also crowed as it closes soon. But no trouble getting in with the museum-wide pass... Not to mention it was cold in Paris, having just snowed, so I did not have to wait outside in the cold :) All in all a great experience!

The time slot entry system was the best! I didn't have to wait in long lines and the Museum is very punctual with the assigned time slots. Just by showing my ticket on the phone, I was able to enter the galleries without any problems. I took the recommendation to start with the impressionist room on the 5th floor and then went to the 2nd floor. I had a tour of about 4 hours that allowed me to see works I had always wanted to see up close.

Entering the Musée d'Orsay thrilled me from the first moment. Knowing that it was a former train station and seeing how they preserved those huge structures, the natural light and the clock, makes the space as impressive as the works it houses. What I enjoyed most was the Impressionist area: being in front of paintings by Monet, Renoir, Degas and Van Gogh among others, was a very special, almost intimate experience. The colors, strength and sensitivity of those works are felt in a unique way. I also enjoyed discovering the sculptures and how the whole museum dialogues with each other, even if you don't get to see everything. It was a great decision to have taken out the ticket in advance, as I was able to go through it at my leisure and without queues. A visit that really leaves a mark and that I recommend without hesitation.

Having visited Paris several times over the years, I decided to take the family along. Knowing the queues for the museum we booked the fast track (timed) tickets and on arrival were thankful for doing so. The (normal) queue was several hundred metres in length. Whilst the fast track did not give you immediate entry, it was well worth paying the extra. We waited approximately 15 minutes. The museum itself was simply stunning and was able to enthuse our two boys also. On reflection I would probably start on the top floor (5th I believe) and work our way down. I have always been a fan of Impressionism and seeing the actual pieces of artwork that I have had hanging at home gave me goose bumps. Give yourself a minimum of two hours for the visit but realistically 3 hours would be best.

My experience with Headout for the Musée d'Orsay was very successful. Booking was quick and easy, and the tickets were immediately available on my phone. Entry to the museum was stress-free, allowing me to enjoy the visit to the full. Everything was well organized and as described. I recommend Headout for its simplicity and efficiency.
