Customer Reviews
We bought tickets for Musee D’Orsay this weekend through Come to Paris because on the official site they didn’t had any tickets for Sunday when we were supposed to go.
The tickets didn’t had any hour, and we bought then at the same price with the ones having a specific time on the official site.
Even if we were a bit sceptical, when we got there there was an infinite queue. We showed the tickets, and there were two other skip the line rows.
We got were directed to the row that had the higher priority from the 2 priority lanes and basically we went straight to the front door without waiting in line for 1 person.
They validated the tickets and everything was all good.
