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!

Visiting the Louvre is much more than just a simple museum tour – it is a true journey through the history of humanity. From the very moment you step under the iconic glass pyramid, you are filled with a sense of awe and admiration, and what awaits inside exceeds all expectations. The Louvre is vast, yet exceptionally well organized. Each gallery tells its own story – from Ancient Egypt, through Ancient Greece and Rome, to the masterpieces of European art. Seeing the Mona Lisa in person is a special experience, but what impressed me the most is that even the works that are not world-famous leave a strong impact and invite deep reflection. The atmosphere inside the museum is truly unique – a perfect blend of past and present, a respectful silence mixed with the excitement of visitors from all over the world who share the same love for art. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the information is clearly presented, making navigation much easier. A tip for future visitors: take your time, arrive early, and don’t try to see everything in one day. The Louvre is not a place to be rushed through, but to be experienced. It is not a museum you visit only once in a lifetime — it is one you always want to return to. A warm recommendation for anyone visiting Paris. The Louvre is not only a symbol of French culture, but one of the most important treasures of world art heritage.

An excellent experience overall! The timed-entry tickets made the visit to the Louvre smooth and stress-free, allowing us to avoid long queues. Everything was well organized, and entering the museum was quick and easy. The Louvre itself is absolutely breathtaking, with incredible artworks and a beautiful atmosphere. A truly memorable visit that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Paris.

Everything went smoothly, with no problems from arrival to the end of our visit. We didn't have to wait in line, but I arrived early for the visit. We entered through the side entrance, via the shopping mall below the square. Everything was perfect...
