A 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!

Had 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.

It 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.
"Dear cathydJ3576GY, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the long wait you experienced during your visit. Upon reviewing your booking, we identified that the ticket purchased was a flexible entry ticket. Along with your tickets, we had also shared a time-slot reservation voucher intended to enhance your experience by helping you access the museum with a reserved entry time and skip-the-line benefit. For a smoother experience, we truly wish you had reached out to us at the time, as our support team would have been happy to assist you again with the tickets and reservation voucher details to help facilitate your visit. Thank you for your understanding and valuable feedback."
Totally 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
Dear Ann S, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the waiting time you experienced during your visit. During peak periods, queues at the Museum can be significant, and tickets are often sold out well in advance. We would like to clarify that we have provided is an official flexible entry ticket issued by the museum, which allows entry at any time during operating hours. For guests who prefer a specific time slot and a smoother entry experience, we do offer assistance with reserving timed entry slots. This information is shared along with the ticket details, and our team is always available to help arrange this in advance upon request.
The ticketing process is difficult. I enjoyed the museum but the Viator process is poor at best. Do better
Dear Nicholas H, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the museum. We’re sorry to learn that the ticketing process through Viator did not meet your expectations.We will pass on your feedback to the Visator team.
I 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.
Dear Robert C, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the wait you experienced. During peak periods, queues can be expected. As your ticket allows flexible entry, you can visit the museum at any time during operating hours. For a smoother experience, we wish if you could reached out so we can would have assisted with booking a time slot that offers priority access.
Total 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. 👎
Dear Daken E, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the wait you experienced. During peak periods, queues can be expected. As your ticket allows flexible entry, you may visit the museum at any time during operating hours. We’re also sorry for any confusion caused—our team has responded to your query and requested your preferred time slot so we can ensure a smooth experience for your visit.
DON'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.
Dear Kathy B, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the wait you experienced. During peak periods, queues can be expected, especially with flexible entrance tickets. For a smoother experience, we wish if you could reached out so we can would have assisted with booking a time slot for orangerie that offers priority access.
For 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.
Dear Jerry D, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the wait you experienced. We wish if you could reached out so we can would have assisted with booking a time slot that offers immediate access.
This 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.
