That it was not easy to get information. When I spoke to someone on the chat and told her I was unable to download the link she told me to read about how to download a pdf. I know how to download a pdf, I do it all the time for my job. I only got the help I needed when I called the 718 number and that woman contacted the tour group in Paris and had them send the link to my What’s App account. She was very helpful.

The Orsay and Orangerie were sold out during our last weekend in Paris. Without Viator we wouldn’t have been able to visit them. We also got the tickets upgraded so we could use it any day in the next 12 months in case we missed our timeslot. Great service !

Bought a ticket with audio but was told by museum personnel that audio wasn’t included with the purchase. Should be made clear that this is a separate service offered by Viator. Museum was beautiful but WAY TOO CROWDED on a holiday weekend
