It was much more expensive than booking through the museum and the audio tour included through a link was confusing. It did not align to the museum layout, missed many of the items on display and was ultimately a large waste of time. Next time, I would book directly through the museum and get the museum’s audio tour.

The audio tour was not provided although I paid for it. I contacted the provider but received no timely response

The experience was mixed. We arrived to the museum with tickets that was supposed to have audio with it. As it turned out, the link sent did not work. When I contacted the seller that evening and told him ghe problem, he issued me a total refund for the museum experience. He was very ethical and professional in how he handled it. I would use him again and make sure the audio works before going to the museum!

Musee D’Orsay refused to accept my Viator voucher for the Audio Guide, so I had to pay again for 2, one of which did not work.

Beautiful works of art, some good audio guides too. I would go backwards to the crowds and find the lesser known works as it can be crowded.
