The Paris Pass helped us beat the lines at the Musee d'Orsay and the Louvre - that was really great. I would not have been able to convince my partner to wait in the long lines in front of these museums otherwise, so this was definitely the way to go! But I must say, I didn't really use the pass for anything else, because Paris is a walking city, and the metro is cheap. We took a boat ride, but not the one on offer, because we happened to be at a certain place at a certain time, the way things go when you are walking around and enjoying yourself. So I think if you really want to make the most out of this offer, and not buy something oversized, plan to get it for your museum visits, and plan those well.

This is the fourth time we have visited Paris and used the Paris Pass to explore the city and visit our old favorites (L'Orangerie, Musee D'Orsay, Espace Dali).

The best thing about the pass was the train pass. We used it all day everyday we were there. I was disappointed that it did not cover the Eiffel tower. Also, there was no fast track for Versailles. We had to wait in line with everyone else. It was especially helpful for the Louvre, river cruise and Musee D'Orsay. The bus tour was just ok. The other tour with multiple routes is better, but not included. You are able to see everything on the other tour on your own with the train passes though. I am in the group that loves Paris and this pass helped get around easily.

I was pleased with the Paris Pass. It rained so much. It was nice to not have to wait in line at Musee d'Orsay. The bus was great. There was just not enough time to see all that I wanted to see.

We had a great guide for this tour and we just loved the Musee d'Orsay

Found booklet confusing--Musee d'Orsay, Musee Rodin, etc. found under Galleries not Museums. In one and a half days we were able to do both of the above, the tower tour at Notre Dame, the opera house tour, the l'orangerie, and the Seine boat trip!

Very disappointed in the Red Hop on Hop off Bus...smaller loop of Paris...waited at some stops like the Opera where it made 3 stops around the building which took 30 minutes of just sitting! The yellow hop on Hop Off bus had more buses and more stops! Also we were told that the pass for the bus was 48 hours from the time you got on bus...not true . We got on Sunday at 4pm because we were told that... so it expired on Monday at 4pm Big Scam...people who worked for the bus company/tour were rude once they realized you didn't want to purchase additional tours which they kept pitching whenever you got on the bus.. Pass is good for metro and getting into museums where they honor it.Should also tell people that many popular sites are closed on Monday/Tuesday like the D'Orsay and Louvre.

A great way to see Musee d'Orsay. Our guide Elizabeth was very knowledgable and made the paintings come to life. A fascinating tour and highly recommend.

I bought the 6-day Paris Pass, and while it probably didn't actually save me any money, it did save a LOT of time being able to skip some very long lines and walk right into a lot of monuments and museums. You don't actually get a metro card, but enclosed metro tickets. Just pass them in and out of the validator every time you board the bus or metro, and you're good. Arc de Tromphe, Musee D'Orsay, and Centre Pompidou had quite a long line for tickets, so very convenient to bypass and just flash my pass. A trick for entrance to the Louvre - there are two stairwells to the right and left of the arch facing the Pyramid that leads you down into the Carousel du Louvre (shopping center) and you can literally walk right into the entrance. No lines!! Paris Pass pays for itself in its ease of use and convenience!

We still had to wait in line to get our entrance despite having the pass - over an hour at Versailles, 30 mins at Musee Dorsay and so on. Can't recommend this as time savings as you could book tickets independently and queue too.

As I reviwed with the London pass - great choice, especially with the Metro pass included, as we went ALL over the city!! The "skip the line" perk was fabulous-saved tons of time at the Musee d'Orsay (on a rainy day, too!) and the Louvre and enjoyed a lovely wine tastine at O Chateau, along with many other attracions included. Great deal!!

We did not get to use the Paris Pass. We only used the travel tickets and the museum pass. Thanks for the tip on where to find the shorter queue to get into the Louvre, but we then stood in the queue to get our ticket only to find out this wasn't required, we could just show our pass and skip the queue, but not at the Orsay Museum! It would be good if it was consistent in all places. A notice in the Louvre perhaps would save a lot of people a lot of time as we were not the only ones who wasted 30 mins in the queue. The tourist bus was very informative and I wish we'd done the full loop on that first. The train/bus tickets were excellent value and meant we didn't have to work out the cheapest way to get somewhere, we just jumped on and off trains and buses etc.

We had a 2-day Paris Pass and used it to visit the Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Napoleon's Tomb and Museum, and go for a boat trip on the Seine, as well as using the Hop-on Hop-off Red Bus several times and the metro. Really good to skip the lines at the Louvre etc! Pity the Eiffel Tour wasn't included but otherwise excellent - would use it again. Useful little book too.
