The museum is very nice...

The museum is very nice but the WWI & II section seemed a bit disjointed, esp with the construction. Having to show your tix for every section was a little different as well.

Operator response

Dear Sir Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to know you found the museum very nice and enjoyed the overall visit. Regarding the World War I and II section, some areas may occasionally be affected by ongoing maintenance, renovation work, or updated exhibition arrangements by the venue, which can temporarily impact the flow of the experience. As for ticket checks in different sections, this is part of the museum’s internal access and security procedures to manage visitor movement and ensure smooth operations. These policies are controlled directly by the venue. We appreciate the valuable feedback and thank you for your understanding.

After calling and texting...

After calling and texting multiple times, I could not find the tour guide nor were there any instructions. This was a complete scam! Do not order from this tour!

Purchased tickets on line...

Purchased tickets on line but never received tickets that were usable at the museum. The ticket office required tickets with bar code. Tried calling two phone numbers in emailed receipt from Viator but never answered the phone. Also didn’t response to What’s App message. Lost my money since we had to purchase new tickets at the ticket office ( at nearly 1/2 cost of purchasing thru Viator)

Operator response

Dear Guest, We are really sorry for all the inconvenience caused and for the experience you had. Please note that your tickets were shared with you in the Viator chat with the barcode required for entry. We also tried to contact you on WhatsApp to assist you and make sure you received the tickets on time. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response at that time. We truly regret the confusion and inconvenience caused during your visit. Your feedback is very important to us and we sincerely apologize for the situation. Kind regards.

Historic

The area in which the tomb is house is so striking, you can’t miss seeing it from afar and it makes you wonder what it is (if you don’t already know). The detailing on the dome is incredible and the gold so vibrant, especially when the sun is shining. We missed going in due to time limitations.

Napoleon’s tomb

My Viator ticket and forwarding email failed at Napoleon’s tomb and Grand Armee museum. The bar code failed at multiple attempts; museum personnel were not amused.

Operator response

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Our team provided valid tickets, but sometimes barcode scanners at the venue can face technical issues. We’ll review this with the operator to ensure smoother entry for future guests.

Napoleon’s Tomb is the Highlight

We visited the historic building that used to be a military hospital with the goal of seeing Napoleon’s tomb. We also visited the chapel and admired many elaborately decorated military tombs. There are also many military artifacts spanning the last several centuries. We purchased tickets in advance and skipped the long line to walk right in.

Tomb Napoleon

It is located under the golden dome of the Palais des Invalides in Paris. Admission is for a fee and also gives you access to visit the weapons museum. The red granite sarcophagus sits in a large oculus on the ground, forcing visitors to lean in to see it. It's spectacular, awesome. We bought the tickets the same day at the box office. Children under the age of 18 enter for free

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit to Les Invalides and found it so impressive. We appreciate your detailed feedback and helpful information for future visitors.

Pass Did Not Work

Purchased from TripAdvisor site. Access to museum and tomb was denied. Had to purchase ticket again at entrance. Tour ticket didn't work for either the museum or the tomb. Confusing, disappointing, and expensive.
