Amazing experience

5.00A fantastic and completely hassle-free experience! We booked our Orangerie Museum tickets through TripAdvisor the very last minute and were pleasantly surprised to receive them within just 5–10 minutes. The team was incredibly helpful and even assisted us with the required time reservation, which gave us priority access and made entering the museum quick and seamless. The ticket also included an audio guide, which made the visit enjoyable and helped us appreciate the beautiful artworks and history behind them. The museum itself is a true gem and an absolute must-visit in Paris. Everything—from booking to entry to exploring the galleries—was smooth and well organized. Highly recommend Viator for a stress-free booking experience and the Orangerie Museum for an unforgettable cultural visit!

5.00Had a great experience visiting the Orangerie Museum. I booked our tickets through Tripadvisor at the last minute and received them within about 10 minutes. The team was very helpful and assisted with the required time-slot reservation, which made entry quick and hassle-free. The museum was beautiful, and everything was well organized from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend both the museum and Viator for anyone planning a trip to Paris.
Do Not But Advance Tickets for This Museum

1.00It did not help us to have purchased advanced tickets with out a time slot. We were stuck in the line for people without advance tickets. The wait was over 2 hours. We never got into the museum. Do not recommend purchasing in advance as there was not a benefit.
Total scam

1.00Totally misleading. Paid $57 to stand in line with everyone else. This company sends a voucher and calls it a ticket. You stand in line for two hours with your voucher to redeem your ticket which you could have gotten directly from the museum

4.00The ticketing process is difficult. I enjoyed the museum but the Viator process is poor at best. Do better

3.00I didn't realise that I needed a time slot. I had a ticket but the queue for non-time slot visitors was long and static. I don't mind queues if they are moving but it did't. It was very warm that day and opted not to wait as I am not good standing for a long time.
Total scam.

1.00Total scam. The tour seller sells you general tickets that have no specific time or even date. This is despite specifically booking for a particular date on the viator app. The tickets are no better than walking up and getting ‘as available’ tickets directly from the museum. The tour operator, however, charges more than twice the museum’s charge. Even worse, there is no guarantee of entry on a particular day. I enquired with the tour operator via the viator app about reserving a particular time and day. After saying this was possible, when I asked for a particular date and time they went silent. 👎
Don't Buy!

1.00DON'T BUY the dual D'orsay and L'orangerie ticket. The line up for tickets without entry times is the same line as people without tickets so its completely useless. You may as well not have a ticket. I ended up not using my ticket because the line was so long.
Review of the Viator experience

3.00For the unscheduled ENTRY ticket, asking what time I want the ticket in the ordering process is not germane. It took reading the fine print on the actual pdf ticket to realize that it was not a scheduled entry, and if you want you can try to schedule an entry, which, by the time you get the ticket is of course sold out. Definitely book your ticket on the museum website- with a scheduled entry- because when it’s busy, the management of the entry queues is a fiasco IMO, the is no value add from viatour with the unscheduled entry ticket.
Long lines in blazing sun

1.00This ticket is only to access the museum, not a timed entry. After standing in line in the baking sun to enter for nearly an hour without the line moving, we gave up. Wasted money unless you’re very patient and the weather is cool and cloudy.
