Tickets easy to download, once I found them in my junk mail - and loved the museum! Tried 4 times to set up an acct on YoTours for the audio guide....half an hour of frustration I'll never get back.... Kept having to validate email address even though the time had not run out ...

We visited the Renoir, Monet and Van Gogh exhibitions mainly, as we were doing a half day visit. Tickets were easy to use. No queue when we arrived mid morning. We could not get the audio app to scan the QR code provided and ended up getting the headsets at the museum. Accessing the audio through the app did not work even though we followed the instructions for iPhone and tried it in WiFi the day before. The museum was lovely and worth the visit. Note there are cafes and restaurants on higher floors, not just the small cafe on the floor.

I’ve gone to the D’Orsay in different seasons . If you go in the summer expect the crowds. Go early and start with the fifth floor ( where Impressionists are) and work your way down.
Dear Caligirl, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the museum and appreciate your helpful tips for fellow travelers. Starting early and exploring the Impressionist collection first is indeed a great way to make the most of the experience, especially during the busy summer season. We are pleased that you had an enjoyable visit and hope to welcome you again on your next trip.
I was sent a link to the audio on the day I was going . It did not work. When I got out I finally got the audio but we were leaving the museum and it was too late. They keep telling me that they sent the link and I had everyone trying to get into it with the app that I was told to use and it did not work. Take the tour without the audio and buy it at the museum or just read the explanations there.

Get the audio tour at the museum. Don't get the one offered with the online ticket purchase - it's a waste of time

The Musee D'Orsay is an incredible experience for art lovers. Warning buying a ticket with audio through Viator. It does. It inckude the museum audio & headset. You need download & register with an App & unfortunately not made aware of this until you open your ticket. It is quite a process & I couldn't get it to happen - no direct link etc so ended up buying a headset at the museum. You can go right to the museum website and buy a ticket there.

Voucher was useless, tickets were not to be found. Never got into the museum, next time I'll deal directly with the museum. The is absolutely no help available.
Dear Virginia S, Thank you for your feedback.

As such, there seems to be a mismatch in the review posted. Our records indicate that all tickets associated with the booked product were shared as per the reservation received. To investigate this matter further and assist you appropriately, kindly share your booking details so we can review the issue in detail. We look forward to hearing from you and resolving this for you.
Worked well. They guided us past the line and straight in. Not much more to say but have to hit the 100 char minimum.
Dear Douglas S, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that everything worked smoothly and that you had a hassle-free entry experience. We hope you had a wonderful time and look forward to welcoming you again!
The MUSEUM was FANTASTIC - the works of art gorgeous. INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING as our AUDIO never worked properly - we downloaded the required app and audio files at the hotel so we were fully prepared. Upon arrival, only the opening sequence played. Despite 4 deletions and reloading of both components per Viator associate instructions, the audio NEVER worked properly. We requested replacement tickets for the following day (our last day in Paris) or a refund. They offered tickets for 2 days later (useless to us) and refused a refund because no one else had audio issues and their only solution were tickets we could not use. LOVED the museum, DESPISED the tour company & their handling of the situation. Recommend a guided tour NOT a downloaded app & file!
Dear Tiffany M, Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced with the audio guide.
