These tickets were very easy to use. We got the the Louvre about 25 minutes early and were through the doors by 9:05am. If you are going for the Mona Lias though, I'd recommend getting there a bit earlier for the line as people literally ran to see her and get photos. The Louvre was great - just very difficult to navigate (even with holding a map in my hand and having a digital one on my phone). We spent about 3 hours here walking around, but it's definietly a whole day adventure, we just had other places to be. Museum fatigue is defineitly a struggle here, the food is quite expensive, and there's not a lot of places to sit, but we enjoyed our time nonetheless.

When I booked, I wasn't very confident, as the slots reserved on the official museum website were no longer available. What's more, as this was my first reservation experience, I didn't know how it worked. But I was guided from start to finish! In the end, I couldn't download the PDF tickets from the application. I just had to chat and received them by e-mail in 10 seconds. Excellent service, quality and price And the tickets were real, I enjoyed them, I recommend you with my eyes closed!

This was the first time at the Louvre in Paris. Our guide, Ivan, was terrific. His love of all things French, archeology, and especially his love for the Louvre was amazing. The insight he gave us regarding paintings, stories behind the art objects was outstanding. We were sorry our tour was only 2 hours, but that was because of our timeline. I am sure he would have spent more time with us. A wonderful experience and if we get a chance to return, we will ask for him again. C

An Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Experience – Perfectly Curated by Headout & the Brilliant Marciella Visiting the Eiffel Tower is a dream for many, but experiencing it this seamlessly and memorably is something special—and Headout delivered that magic flawlessly. From the moment the booking was confirmed, everything was smooth, professional, and reassuring. The real highlight, however, was our tour guide, Marciella—an absolute gem. Her warmth, clarity, and deep knowledge transformed what could have been a routine visit into a truly immersive Parisian experience. Marciella navigated us effortlessly through the crowds, shared fascinating historical insights and charming anecdotes, and made sure everyone felt engaged and cared for. Her passion for Paris was infectious, and her explanations added layers of meaning to every view and every moment atop the tower. Standing at the Eiffel Tower, gazing over Paris with such a well-guided narrative, felt less like a tourist activity and more like being welcomed into the story of the city itself. If you’re considering the Eiffel Tower, Headout is the way to go—and if you’re lucky enough to have Marciella as your guide, you’re in for an exceptional experience. Highly recommended for anyone who values comfort, insight, and a touch of elegance in their travels. 🌟 Truly world-class.

A fantastic experience, even if it's huge. Just ask the staff outside the entrances for information, and they'll tell you everything you need to know. And of course, I don't need to tell you how beautiful the works inside the museum are. A must-see.
