What people are saying about Notre Dame Cathedral

I’m not a big art person, but I think this is something everyone should see at least once in their lives! So much history and to think about how the paintings and sculptures were made so long ago when seeing how detailed they were was amazing! I went by myself and I had a great time. I was leaving to go back to Germany this day, so I wanted to spend most of my time, before leaving, walking around the Louvre. My feet were hurting so much from the previous days that i didn’t know how long I would actually make it before needing to leave. I made it about 2 hours before I was in pain. Towards the end, I was just trying to walk through to see stuff instead of reading. I think I made it probably 1/3 of the way through the whole place, there’s just so much! Definitely a whole day thing for those who want to be thorough! The river cruise was a lot of fun. I did it at night and it was cold, but a great experience! Watching the Tower sparkle from the river was beautiful! Highly recommend this!

It was good. We were able to buy the tickets at short notice (1 day before the activity) and received them early in the morning by email and via Whatsapp. The Louvre Museum was very interesting and the Mona Lisa could only be viewed from a little further because there was a very long line in front of it. If you have the time, you can get closer and take nice pictures. Since this booking was here without an audio guide, and you could not buy one on site, and the descriptions on the exhibits were unfortunately only in French, we could not read the background information on the exhibits. Too bad. The boat trip on the Seine was super nice and especially great in the evening. If you're already in Paris, you should have done these two things!

Some line and wait, even though a time specific ticket. Security check went smoothly. 35,000 plus exhibits were overwhelming. Being January, the line to see Mona Lisa was about 30 people. Did not see room numbers in every room and map did not have all the numbers that were seen, so directions were a bit confusing. Overall, well worth the trip.

1. Worth the money 2. You need to dedicate at least one full day to visiting Louvre 3. The audioguide makes the experience much much better 4. You can take the cruise the next day.

Great tour to see most locations of touristy areas. Recommend the Louve option. But note that if you want to explore the whole Louve you will need minimum a whole day.
