SoloVerified bookingJun 20265/5I loved both museums, which you can visit on 2 different days with the combo ticket - just pick the dates and times. Please take my advice and visit them on separate days as the Orsay Museum is a former train station that has been repurposed into a multifloor museum. It is enormous and worth taking your time through. You can download the audio guide on your phone, using the Global Audio App, before the visit. The Museum also has a very nice cafe restaurant for a snack or lunch, which you can enjoy with aome alcohol if desired. I had a late lunch there, between visiting floors, and it was very enjoyable. The museum also hosted a special Renoir exhibition during my visit. L''Orangerie is a must for any serious Monet wtarelillies art lover. It was very special and I'm so pleased to have paced myself to visit both while in Paris.NNathalie S
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5We didn't have to wait a single moment, the entry to the museum was very smooth. It was very appreciated due to the extreme temperatures. The control inside was efficient and not too long. Inside the museum, our experience was wonderful. The Renoir exhibition was a treat and we had the opportunitiy to admire his drawings and also paintings which we had never seen before. Highly recommended!OOlga I
SoloVerified booking6 days ago5/5It is my absolute favorite museum, with a wonderful layout. The best time to visit is just before closing, when the people who love snapping selfies right in front of the masterpieces have left the Impressionist galleries, offering a brief window to truly savor the experience. Perhaps they should introduce special "sessions"—priced higher, but with a no-photography rule? :)GGlad J
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5I was very pleased to quickly find two tickets for the same day at the time I wanted on your website. And the visit was very enjoyable (despite the heat wave!)—I got to see, among other things, two magnificent paintings by Millet, one of which was a copy that used to hang in my grandparents’ dining room! *The Gleaners* and *The Angelus*. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you.AAnn F
CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5Meeting location was not specific enough. Guide did not find us until minutes after the tour was to start. Museum entrance is a very big area and sign she was holding was a small plastic card not visible from afar. Guide was quick to blame us for not finding her. Guide was very informative but very scripted and did not deviate from her itinerary at all.
