When you're short on time, avoiding the long queue to the Louvre is easy with priority admission. Linger over the artworks and take your time, using a provided museum map and audio guide. Pick them up at a central location in Paris, then take a short stroll to the Louvre Museum's main entrance for your security check. Sidestep the entry lines with your skip-the-line ticket and head straight inside to begin your independent tour.

Your map outlines suggested itineraries and your audio guide catches all the highlights, encapsulating Greek antiquity, French painting, and Italian masterpieces. Admire the "Mona Lisa" and hear interesting information about the most-loved and best-known works of art on display, like "Venus de Milo" and the "Winged Victory of Samothrace," while exploring the world’s largest art museum. 

Afterward, discover the Louvre’s many other rooms, brimming with world-famous and lesser-known gems. When you get tired or hungry, visit one of the many on-site eateries, or purchase gifts and souvenirs at the bookstore. Then saunter through the Tuileries Garden before returning your audio guide.

Great time/device didn’t work.
Jillian_P
, Oct 2021
Wonderful time. Way too much too see! Easy to find pickup spot (you just put it in google maps). The only issue is that my husband’s device wouldn’t work. So we both just didn’t use them. Worth it to skip that line tho! Just make sure the device is working before you leave the pickup site.

Rip-off! Don't book with viator!
Valerie_H
, Oct 2021
We booked skip-the-line tickets for a trip with our kids to the Louvre. What we got is an email confirming that we booked the tour, incl. date, number of persons (2 adults, 2 kids) and a QR code - looking like real entry tickets. What it didn't say is that it was a voucher only and not the virtual entry ticket. The result: we were at the requested date and time at the queue, but couldn't access the exhibition! The result: 2 disappointed kids and 2 angry adults as it was also too late to get to the agency to get the tickets. In addition, an employee of the Louvre told me that the kids would have been for free and we paid for them with Viator - although we stated their age! He told me that Viator is well-known to the Louvre for getting money out of tourists without granting them the tickets in advance and without informing them that they need to get their tickets at the agency's site prior to their visit at the Louvre. With other words: we were not the only ones paying a lot of money (over 140 € - although it would have cost 35 € only!!!) and showing up without any ticket! A virtual rip-off!

I requested a refund .. we were not allowed to use the voucher. My voucher came in Spanish. When I went into the Louvre I had to purchase new tickets. I later found out I need to walk 4 block to get a ticket. Please refund me!

Dear Sir, the instructions are very clear in the website and in the voucher that you have to exchange your voucher and get your audio guides in a 5 minutes walk to the Louvre entrance, not 4 blocks. We got your tickets printed and as they have date and time we cannot give them back to the Louvre. We are sorry but you are not entitled to refund. Best regards Giovanni

We were a bit disappointed in the reference to “priority access.” Fact is that everyone with a prepaid ticket has the same access as you. The non-prepaid ticket line was actually shorter. The distance from the entrance is too far also. Doesn’t make sense to purchase this if the same type of audio guide is available on site. The fact that I have to not only walk from the Louvre to get the audio guide, but also make the same walk afterwards made this a horrible decision.

problems
witold_p
, Aug 2021
The problem was, that we were not clearly alerted to the fact that the tickets to the Louvre have to be picked up in the office outside the museum. The email sent to me had a link which didn't work, and we wasted at least an hour (and peace of mind on top of it) until we managed to get to the bottom of the problem and get the tickets send to my phone.

Beware
Scott_N
, Jul 2021
Tickets needed to be picked up and not at the Louvre. Tickets were for 1 & 1/2 hours later then the confirmed reservation. You still stand in the same line as everyone else with Tickets. Audio tour is a joke...doesn't explain the works of art. You need to rentbthe audio guide inside le Louvre to do that.

Lousy louvre tickets service
MaryGrace_B
, Jul 2021
I paid for louvre tickets online. When we went to the office to retrieve the tickets it was closed in the middle of a week day. This was horrible! We never were able to pick up our Louvre tickets which we had already paid for. We had to buy new ones ! We will never use this service again!
